The Arab Spring and its Long Shadow - Roy Casagranda

The Arab Spring was not just an Arab revolution - it was a wave of revolutionary activity that touched Brazil, Myanmar, the United States (Occupy) and Southeast Asia. It began in Tunisia, when a vegetable vendor who had been insulted and abused by police seeking bribes decided he had had enough and made the decision to self-immolate. In this lecture, Professor Roy provides both historical background and personal eyewitness testimony to the nature of the Arab Spring.
