Educational Transitions in Post-Revolutionary Spaces Summary

Educational Transitions in Post-Revolutionary Spaces: Islam, Security, and Social Movements in Tunisia by Dr tavis d. jules (Loyola University Chicago, USA)

Educational Transitions in Post-Revolutionary Spaces explores the transformation of the education system in Tunisia following the Jasmine Revolution, the first of a wave of revolutions known as the Arab Spring. The authors provide a detailed account of how Tunisia's robust education system shaped and sparked the conflict as educated youth became disgruntled with their economic conditions. Exploring themes such as radicalization, gender, activism and social media, the chapters map out the steps occurring during transitions from authoritarian rule to democracy. Educational Transitions in Post-Revolutionary Spaces traces the origins of the conflict and revolution in societal issues, including unemployment, inequality and poverty, and explores how Islam and security influenced the transition. The book not only offers a thorough understanding of the role of youth in the revolution and how they were shaped by Tunisia's educational system. Crucially, it provides a comprehensive understating of theoretical and methodological insights needed to study educational transitions in other post-revolutionary contexts.

Educational Transitions in Post-Revolutionary Spaces Reviews

Jules and Barton provide a unique and insightful analysis of the role of education in social revolutions and the Arab Spring, exploring the unique intersections of religion, gender and politics. This volume extends our understanding of education and social change with its rich and multifaceted analysis. * Robin Shields, Senior Lecturer in Higher Education Management, University of Bath, UK *
Policy streams, imaginative regimes of hope, despair and resistance, research beyond the ubiquitous methodological nationalism that continues to dominate contextualized studies in education. These are some of the urgent and intriguing aspects of this timely book that will serve as an important contribution to understanding the current situation confronting youth and education as well as education research itself. * Stephen Carney, Associate Professor of Comparative Education, Roskilde University, Denmark *
Using a comparative-historical lens, Educational Transitions in Post-Revolutionary Spaces takes us through a fascinating journey of Tunisia's 3000 years of state-run education under different authoritarian regimes. It convincingly argues that education played a critical role in mobilizing youth for political action and explains the complex trajectories that led young Tunisian revolutionaries to the streets to peacefully topple the Ben Ali regime. This is an entirely compelling and timely book. * Iveta Silova, Professor and Director of the Center for the Advanced Studies in Global Education, Arizona State University, USA *
