Brownlee (Univ. of Exeter) demonstrates, however, that the transition from online "revolution" to a real-life people's revolution in Syria resulted from a lengthy process that involved increased access, new professional standards, and privatization under Bashar al-Assad, together transforming the heavily censored "kingdom of silence." Recommended. All readers." Choice "Brownlee's book is a welcome contribution to the scholarship on Syria, Arab media, authoritarianism, and the public sphere in the Middle East. The book approaches the subject of Syrian media -- a subject that deserves greater academic attention -- from a fresh, instructive angle." The Middle East Journal
