But this assumption fails to recognize that social and political change comes in many guises. In this eye-opening book, Asef Bayat reveals how under the shadow of the authoritarian rule, religious moral authorities, and economic elites, ordinary people can make meaningful change through the practices of everyday life. Though not as visible on the world-stage as a mass protest or a full-scale revolution, millions of people across the Middle East are discovering or creating new social spaces within which to make their claims heard. The street vendor who sets up his business in the main square, squatters who take over public parks, Muslim youth who frequent public hangouts in blue jeans, and protestors who march in the streets, poor housewives who hang their wash in the alleyways, and educated women who pursue careers doing "men's work" - all these people challenge the state's control and implicity question the established public order through their daily activities. Though not coordinated in their activities, these "non-movements" offer a political response, not of protest but of practice and direct daily action. 000349955 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000349955 650_0 $$aSocial movements$$zMiddle East. 000349955 650_0 $$aSocial change$$zMiddle East. 000349955 650_0 $$aPolitical participation$$zMiddle East. 000349955 651_0 $$aMiddle East$$xForeign relations$$y1979- 000349955 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000349955 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBayat, Asef.$$tLife as politics.$$dStanford, Calif. : Stanford University Press, 2010$$z9780804769242$$w(DLC) 2009021941$$w(OCoLC)370387410 000349955 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000349955 8520_ $$bacq 000349955 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=317438$$zOnline Access 000349955 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:349955$$pGLOBAL_SET 000349955 980__ $$aEBOOK 000349955 980__ $$aBIB 000349955 982__ $$aEbook 000349955 983__ $$aOnline
