`This is a most useful contribution to the understanding of the upheaval that is shaking the Arab world, a diligent investigation whose value is enhanced by the dearth of reliable statistical sociological surveys of the region.' Gilbert Achcar, SOAS University of London, author of The People Want: A Radical Exploration of the Arab Uprising; `Youth in the Middle East continue to figure prominently in both political dissent and economic deprivation. The surveys and analyses in this book provide some of the best sources to understand the status of Arab youth in the years after the Arab Spring.' Asef Bayat, University of Illinois, author of Revolution without Revolutionaries: Making Sense of the Arab Spring; 'A critically important and sophisticated study of youth in the Middle East following the Arab Spring, the global financial crisis, and recent waves of migration, war, and refugees. It is a must-read to understand how young people maintain their optimism and deeply-held values as they negotiate insecurity and precariousness.' Diane Singerman, American University, Washington, DCMore details
