The Lebanon Uprising of 2019: Voices from the Revolution
Karam Jeffrey G
In October 2019, hundreds of thousands of Lebanese took to the streets to protest government corruption and austerity measures. These were the largest mass protests seen in the country since 2005.
The Lebanon Uprising of 2019 is the first book to analyse the revolution and tackle the huge transformations that have been unravelling in Lebanon ever since. The book brings to the fore the voices of scholars, activists, researchers, and journalists who took part in the protests or were active in the demonstrations that unfolded before them. This is a unique source of testimonies and analysis from the field, with stories about specific events and struggles, views of the uprising from various regions of the country, and reflections on topics such as disability, the student movement, and the struggle for preserving environmental spaces.
The book is the foundational text on the Lebanon Uprising and includes primary documents not found elsewhere, such as photos, memoranda of conversations, different pamphlets, posters, and other materials that were designed and disseminated in the streets and over social media platforms. The protests are situated within the political, economic, social, environmental, and psychoanalytical foundations of the Lebanese polity, as well as in the broader context of a second wave" of Arab uprisings, making this a testament to the rich history of protests and activism in the country.
