This study proposes an approach to analyzing the dynamic of social and protest movements in the revolution context of the Arab region, based on a back–and–forth examination of sociological theories from the Global South that have accompanied recent revolutions and social movements in this region. It also undertakes an in–depth longitudinal study of the trajectories of Moroccan activists involved in the demonstrations arising from these events. By utilizing a discerning selection of critical readings of these theories and conducting interviews with youth actively participating in the movements of February 20th and Hirak Rif, the study illuminates the interaction and interplay between certain social and protest movements in Morocco and the revolutions that have rocked the Arab region. It specifically focuses on the themes of identity and the transformation of authoritarianism. It also highlights the similarities and differences between these social and protest movements in the context of the two waves of Arab revolution.
