In Dispatches from the Arab Spring, editors Paul Amar and Vijay Prashad combined various correspondents to form a comprehensive and riveting account of the revolutionary uprisings that helped shape the future of Northern Africa and the Middle East. The book is divided into fourteen sections where each section describes the unraveling of the revolution and counter-revolution in a single country. Additionally, a specific contributor, who is well versed in his or her specific country, compiled the information for each section into an analysis that the West misinterpreted. The first section if that of Tunisia where the revolution first began and went on to spread across the region. Amar and Prashad claim that the Arab revolution, although consisting of several and separate events, can be contextualized by three moments—Arab Spring, Arab Winter, and Arab Resurgence. Each moment, as detailed by the editors, consists of several events in several locations and during various time periods. The Spring can be characterized by revolutions, the Winter with cooperation with NATO, repression in Syria, and land grabbing in the West Bank, while the Resurgence is characterized by new regimes that failed its people in their attempt to establish democracy in a culture for which it was unfit. All in all, Dispatches from the Arab Spring is a comprehensive introduction to the ever-changing Arab world.
