The New Arabs: How the Millennial Generation is Changing the Middle East

Renowned blogger and Middle East expert Juan Cole takes us â€œinside the youth movements in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, showing us how activists used technology and social media to amplify their message and connect with like-minded citizensâ€ (The New York Times) in this â€œrousing study of the Arab Springâ€ (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

For three decades, Cole has sought to put the relationship of the West and the Muslim world in historical context. In The New Arabs he has written â€œan elegant, carefully delineated synthesis of the complicated, intertwined facets of the Arab uprisings,â€ (Kirkus Reviews), illuminating the role of todayâ€™s Arab youthâ€”who they are, what they want, and how they will affect world politics.

Not all big groups of teenagers and twenty-somethings necessarily produce historical movements centered on their identity as youth, with a generational set of organizations, symbols, and demands rooted at least partially in the distinctive problems of people their age. The Arab Millennials did. And, in a provocative, big-picture argument about the future of the Arab world, The New Arabs shows just how they did it. â€œEngaging, powerful, and comprehensiveâ€¦The book feels as indispensable to scholars as it is insightful for a more casual readerâ€ (Los Angeles Times).
