But the revolutionaries were-and saw themselves as-heirs to a centuries-long struggle for just government and the rule of law, a struggle obstructed by local elites as well as the interventions of foreign powers. Elizabeth F. Thompson uncovers the deep roots of liberal constitutionalism in the Middle East through the remarkable stories of those who fought against poverty, tyranny, and foreign rule. Fascinating, sometimes quixotic personalities come to light: Tanyus Shahin, the Lebanese blacksmith who founded a peasant republic in 1858; Halide Edib, the feminist novelist who played a prominent role in the 1908 Ottoman constitutional revolution; Ali Shariati, the history professor who helped ignite the 1979 Iranian Revolution; Wael Ghonim, the Google executive who rallied Egyptians to Tahrir Square in 2011, and many more. Their memoirs, speeches, and letters chart the complex lineage of political idealism, reform, and violence that informs today's Middle East. Often depicted as inherently anti-democratic, Islam was integral to egalitarian movements that sought to correct imbalances of power and wealth wrought by the modern global economy-and by global war. Motivated by a memory of betrayal at the hands of the Great Powers after World War I and in the Cold War, today's progressives assert a local tradition of liberal constitutionalism that has often been stifled but never extinguished. 001404014 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001404014 650_0 $$aRepresentative government and representation. 001404014 651_0 $$aMiddle East$$xPolitics and government$$y20th century. 001404014 651_0 $$aMiddle East$$xPolitics and governmentt$$y19th century. 001404014 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aThompson, Elizabeth, 1959-$$tJustice interrupted.$$dCambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2013$$z9780674073135$$w(DLC) 2012039279$$w(OCoLC)812067717 001404014 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001404014 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10682511$$zOnline Access 001404014 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:689162$$pGLOBAL_SET 001404014 980__ $$aEBOOK 001404014 980__ $$aBIB 001404014 982__ $$aEbook 001404014 983__ $$aOnline
