Education and the Arab Spring: Resistance, Reform, and Democracy explores the current debate about education in the Middle East and North Africa post-Arab Spring. It draws from a variety of conceptual frameworks rooted in different disciplines and fields, such as education, religious and cultural studies, political science, and Arab studies. The book is, in part, a response to an increased demand since the Arab Spring â#x80;#x93; by universities, cultural institutions, think-tanks, education officials, policymakers and journalists â#x80;#x93; for a richer, deeper understanding of the role of education in post.
