Book Review:
Johnny West's ''Karama!'' offers an intimate portrait of the Arab Spring through the eyes of ordinary people. Returning to countries he had lived in before, West travels through Libya, Tunisia, and Egypt, talking to students, protesters, and oil workers in places the media never reached. Through these conversations, he explores how these leaderless revolts arose and what the future might hold. ''Karama!'' makes you feel you are there in those dusty streets, understanding why thousands created this revolution. It's an exhilarating and essential read.
