A Kingdom's Future: Saudi Arabia Through the Eyes of Its Twentysomethings

The Arab Awakening has focused the world s attention on young people in the Arab world who have been agitating for political reform. But what about young Saudis, who have not taken to the streets like many of their peers? Have they been affected by the Arab Awakening? In this book, the author explores the self-image of young Saudis and what they want when it comes to education, marriage, politics, religion and personal liberties. It is based on research during Caryle Murphy s three-year reporting tour in the kingdom, as well as scores of interviews while a public policy scholar at the Wilson Center.
