Beyond mere disruptions within the confines of routine politics, protests have played a pivotal role in challenging state authority and reproducing it—the spatial dynamics of these rallies are crucial in shaping both the state and society. In her groundbreaking work, Jillian Schwedler delves into the intricate interplay between space and geography, exploring how they shape protests and repressions. By undertaking a comprehensive study spanning twenty-five years of field research, Protesting Jordan offers a pioneering exploration of rebellion in Jordan, challenging conventional narratives of Hashemite state-making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough a multi-faceted approach, this book examines protests in the context of the built environment, integrating insights into networks, spatial imaginations, space and place-making, and political geographies at local, national, regional, and global scales. Schwedler delves into the significance of time and temporality in the lifecycle of individual movements, shedding light on the geographies of power and dissent and the spatial practices of protest and repression. By employing a mixed interpretive methodology, this book illuminates the political stakes of competing narratives about Jordan's past, present, and future, highlighting the importance of understanding the spatial dimensions of social and political dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 604g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 151 x 229 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781503631588\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jillian Schwedler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095630999802,"sku":"9781503631588","price":19.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1651844273551_book.jpg?v=1652081569","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/protesting-jordan-geographies-of-power-and-dissent-9781503631588","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
