RECOMMENDEDREADING

By Juan Cole
The renowned blogger and Middle East expert
Juan Cole illuminates the role of today’s Arab youth—who they are, what they
want, and how they will affect world politics. Beginning in January 2011, the
revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests, riots, and civil wars that
comprised what many call “the Arab Spring” shook the world. These upheavals
were spearheaded by youth movements, and yet the crucial role they played is
relatively unknown. In The New Arabs, Middle East expert Juan Cole outlines
the history that led to the dramatic changes in the region, and explores how
a new generation of men and women are using innovative notions of personal
rights to challenge the authoritarianism, corruption, and stagnation that had
afflicted their societies. |
