[Digital Political Cultures in the Middle East since the Arab Uprisings] takes on the complex topic of digital media and political space. The narrative examines Arab Spring voices from Egypt, Tunisia, and Lebanon. Mahlouly aptly notes, "Revolutions, by nature, introduce a more fluid political language to complete a transition of power, eventually substituting one institutional discourse for another" (p. 111). Hence, the Arab Spring's legacy provides readers and researchers another angle of exploration into the movement, meaning, and afterlife.
