"Protesting Jordan: Geographies of Power and Dissent" is part of the Interview Series of the multidisciplinary research workshop "Envisioning the Global South(s)" organised by MW Fellows.

Protesting Jordan argues that protests and other public acts of rebellion provide an ideal entry point for understanding politics in the Hashemite Kingdom, while also being worthy of greater theorization in their own right. More than an aesthetic choice, this book shows how claim-making and spatial dynamics of protests play a central role in the construction of both state and society. It offers the first in-depth study of protest and rebellion in Jordan, turning the conventional narrative of Hashemite state-making on its head.
Protesting Jordan demonstrates that protests, in the form of demonstrations, marches, and sit-ins, have been part of routine politics in Jordan throughout its history, and they continue to play a vital role today in shaping Jordan’s future.
