What are some good books on post-revolution Libya?

I'm considering an offer to teach English in Libya. And I'd like read as much as I can about all aspects (political, economic, cultural) of it's new society. I'm consulting articles (especially those in The Economist) as well as books. Has anyone read anything along these lines or can anyone otherwise provide me with suggestions? Thank you.

For my job I have to follow international news, and I love Global Voices. It aggregates social media and blog posts from citizens in what seems like every country on Earth, relating to social and political issues. I find it invaluable because it gives you information about places from the viewpoints of the people who live there. Here's the Libya page.

This isn't a book, but you might want to check out the blog written by KhadijaTeri, along with her links. Lots of great information for a possible expat there.
