About the Book

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic – at the interlocking levels of politics, economy, and society – have been different across regions, states, and societies. In the case of the Middle East and North Africa, which was already in the throes of intense tumult following the onset of the 2011 Arab Spring, COVID’s blows have on the one hand followed the trajectory of some global patterns, while at the same time playing out in regionally specific ways. Based on empirical country-level analysis, this volume brings together an international team of contributors seeking to untangle how COVID-19 unfolds across the MENA. The analyses are framed through a contextual adaptation of Ulrich Beck’s famous concept of “risk society” that pinpointed the negative consequences of modernity and its unbridled capitalism. The book traces how this has come home in full force in the COVID-19 pandemic. The editors, Larbi Sadiki and Layla Saleh, use the term "Arab risk society". They highlight short-term and long-term repercussions across the MENA. These include socio-economic inequality, a revitalized state of authoritarianism challenged by relentless democratic struggles. But the analyses are attuned to problem-solving research. The "ethnographies of the pandemic" included in this book investigate transformations and coping mechanisms within each country case study. They provide an ethically-informed research praxis that can respond to the manifold crises crashing down upon MENA polities and societies

Review :
In the Middle East and North Africa, the COVID-19 pandemic has compounded the political, economic, and societal fissures that contributed to and were exacerbated by the Arab revolutions and counterrevolutions. In this highly recommended volume, editors Larbi Sadiki and Layla Saleh offer a fascinating examination of the pandemic’s impact on citizens, refugees, and migrant workers. The editors and contributors admirably offer suggested reforms for a more just and equitable post-pandemic MENA region. An interesting exploration of how states with such different structures and resources have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. … I recommend this book as an interesting exploration of ‘risk society’ related to COVID-19 in the MENA region and related impacts.
