Generation Revolution
On the Front Line Between Tradition and Change in the Middle East
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year "An excellent social history of Egypt's persistent pathologies, as well as a universal story about the difficulties of changing deeply ingrained societal attitudes." --New York Times Book Review Generation Revolution unravels the complex forces shaping the lives of four young Egyptians on the eve and in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, and what their stories mean for the future of the Middle East.<BR><BR>>In January 2011, the young people's patience ran out. They thought the revolution that followed would change everything. But as violence escalated, the economy collapsed, and as the united front against Mubarak shattered into sectarianism, many found themselves at a loss. Following the stories of four young Egyptians--Amr the atheist software engineer, Amal the village girl who defied her family and her entire community, Ayman the one-time religious extremist, and Ruqayah the would-be teenage martyr--Generation Revolution exposes the failures of the Arab Spring and shines new light on those left in the wake of its lost promise.
