This brief overview of the book builds on the Italian partisan song Bella Ciao, a song that has been sung in many Arab streets in recent years. The book echoes the fact that the song can be sung over two tempos, and that the history of citizenship, representation and violence in the Arab worlds can be apprehended over the longue duree of latent citizenship, or the fast-paced events of the 2011 Arab Uprisings. Both tempos are connected in this book, which makes a contribution to democratic theory and to the history of popular politics in the MENA region.
