What can we learn from the historic revolution in Tunisia?

On the next Your Call we'll have a conversation about the popular uprising in Tunisia, which ended twenty-three years of authoritarian rule by president Ben Ali. How has the revolution in Tunisia impacted the regional political landscape? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Events in Tunisia have sparked waves of protests from Egypt to Algeria. So how will this revolution in Tunisia shape U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Beshara Doumani, professor of history at UC Berkeley

Amy Kallander, assistant professor of history at Syracuse University
