The widespread Arab uprisings of the early 2010s were followed by authoritarian backlash, economic collapse and food and energy insecurity. The hopes of millions in the region were shattered for the development of more democratic structures and better living conditions. The Dispossessed Generation provides invaluable insights into the self-perceptions and life chances of young people in the Middle East and North Africa. It offers an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of a survey of 12,000 sixteen- to thirty- year-olds, from Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen. While an entire generation has been further disenfranchised, this volume nevertheless illuminates the extent to which many young people in the region are engaged with their societies, determined to mine new opportunities from a multiplicity of crises. The Arab uprisings of the early 2010s, which raised many hopes, were followed by setbacks: authoritarian backlashes, economic collapses, accelerated climate change, the Corona pandemic and finally the Ukraine war with its impact on food and energy security. After efforts to create more democratic structures failed to sustainably improve living conditions and an entire generation of young people was further disenfranchised and dispossessed by the crises, disappointment and helplessness now prevail. Nevertheless, as this study also shows, some groups are energetically engaged in society and are optimistic that the severe crises will also open up new opportunities. |
