Nader Siraj's book Protest Speech: Analytical Study of the Civil Movement Slogans, published by the ACRPS in March of 2018, comes as part of a wider effort to systematically approach the contemporary transformations in Arabic language. Relying on the case study of the Lebanese civil society movement demanding action on the country's waste disposal crisis (beginning in 2015), the book explores the rhetorical repertoire available in the Arabic language and how the language can be used to express political dissent.

The 368-page looks at how a newly restive public was able to enunciate a new political reality and public realm and promote it through the advancement of its own slogans. The book employs an integrative linguistic approach to the study of the Arabic slogans deployed as part of the protest movement opposed to the failure of the Lebanese government to deal with the refuse problem.
