Summary:"This book is a study of revolutionary politics among male Syrian migrant workers in Beirut at a time of uprising, war, and refugee crisis. It is based on extended periods of fieldwork carried out from 2012 to 2017. The purpose of this book is to fill a rather startling gap in ethnographic work on the Arab Spring. Namely, the lack of long-term ethnographic studies into the development of oppositional political positions among hitherto 'non-political' people."--Preface
