Abstract

The Arab Spring of 2010–2011 marked the beginning of a process of sociopolitical transformation in several societies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This series of mobilizations represented a turning point for a generation of young people who lived and experienced them. This research note examines a small number of young Egyptians who participated in mobilizations against Hosni Mubarak, with an emphasis on their subjectivities and ways of understanding this moment and their latter exile in a town (Dahab) in Egypt a decade later. After briefly reviewing relevant literature on the Arab Spring, I report on in-depth interviews with young Egyptians who were part of these mobilizations as activists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
