With Amazigh Politics in the Wake of the Arab Spring, Bruce Maddy-Weitzman has written a truly comprehensive and lucid follow-up to his 2011 study, The Berber Identity Movement and the Challenge to North African States. He does an impressive job of tracing some incredibly complex developments. The chapters on the little-known Amazigh communities in Libya, Tunisia, and the Sahel, are particularly welcome. This book will be a one-stop resource, and Maddy-Weitzman presents it in a remarkably straightforward and easy-to-understand fashion.— Paul A. Silverstein, author of Algeria in France: Transpolitics, Race, and NationThis book is a much-needed study of the place of the Amazigh movement in the Arab uprisings, especially in the aftermath of the street revolts that have engulfed the region. Bruce Maddy-Weitzman's focus on this area of research adds both depth of analysis and empirical vigor to the study of the Amazigh identity movement that has previously been ignored in North Africa and the Sahel. This work is a critical addition to the literature on ethnonationalist and minority movements.— Mohamed Daadaoui, coauthor of Historical Dictionary of the Arab UprisingsAmazigh Politics in the Wake of the Arab Spring contributes new, much-needed scholarship on the evolution of recent currents in Amazigh activism throughout North Africa...This book is essential reading for all those interested not only in Amazigh activism, but also minority rights and indigeneity discourses, North African politics, and transnational identity movements.— Oxford Middle East Review
