Syria after the Uprisings: The Political Economy of State Resilience by Joseph Daher

3.75

It's like... I guess it kinda feels more like it's in conversation with other scholars and/or organizers and/or political actors in Syria than something that helped me? I learned a bunch of... specific details about the formation of coalitions, the political leanings of different sectors of different parts of the country, etc., but I guess I just didn't end up feeling like I "got it" on the whole, in the same way that certain books about Syria or Lebanon have helped me "get" what's happening there as things unfold in the world.
