From the reigns of Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat to that of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, she offers an on-the-ground perspective through the eyes of multiple generations of young people who lived through consecutive periods of political upheaval and state militarization.\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on surveys, interviews, and focus groups, Sika shines a light on youth who have participated in protest movements, civil society organizations, and political parties. She shows us the different opportunities for economic and political participation that exist for them, explaining why young Egyptians may choose to either mobilize against or—surprisingly—in support of the regime. \u003cbr\u003e Sika underscores how youth in Egypt have been regarded as both the \"hope of the nation\" and a \"threat to the nation.\" \u003ci\u003eYouth in Egypt \u003c\/i\u003eshines a light on the rising generation of young people that represents Egypt's future and also has significant implications for the broader Middle East and North Africa region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NYU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52591083421976,"sku":"9781479819522","price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/youth-in-egypt-identity-participation-and-opportunity-hardback-9781479819522","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
