520    This is a comprehensive survey of minorities in the Middle
       East with a special focus on the post Arab Spring era. 
       Minority communities in the Middle East are the most 
       susceptible to the turbulence engulfing the region; the 
       majority may suffer physical violence and socioeconomic 
       loss, but minorities could potentially vanish. Instead of 
       ushering in democracy and inclusive politics, the 
       revolutionary upheavals have prompted chaos and fear and 
       reinforced the resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism 
       throughout the region. Zabad uses historical sources as 
       well as first-hand interviews to vividly describe the 
       current status of minorities in the Middle East, 
       explaining attitudes towards the revolutionary upheavals 
       as well as the various strategies they used to avail 
       themselves of the opportunities presented and to confront 
       the risks posed. The question of ethnic, sectarian and 
       religious minorities is situated in the context of the 
       broader history of the region in order to explain the 
       underlying institutional and ideological factors that 
       caused their predicament and problematized their 
       relationship with the majority. The book provides a rich 
       trove of information and insights generated from ten case 
       studies that covered the Sh+'a in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, 
       Lebanon and Egypt, the Druze, the Alawites, Christians and
       Kurds in Syria, the Copts in Egypt, and the Zaydis in 
       Yemen
