Moving beyond the sensational headlines to discover how those living in the Middle East speak and feel about their societies, the author of this study makes use of extensive research and interview material from Arabs living in Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco. Lawyers, political militants, religious thinkers, journalists and human rights activists focus their discussion on the question of human rights and critical issues in social and cultural life. The debate ranges widely from football to proverbs; from the nature of liberty and human freedom to the role of the individual in society; from human rights organizations to the role of religion in Arab and national identity.
