Abstract
BEGINNING IN JANUARY 2011, the Arab world exploded in a vibrant demand for dignity, liberty, and achievable purpose in life, rising up against an image and tradition of arrogant, corrupt, unresponsive authoritarian rule over an alienated population. The Tunisians’ slogan was “Dignity, Liberty, Work, Citizenship”; the Egyptians’ was “Dignity, Freedom, Bread, and Social Justice,” later ensconced in their constitutions.
