Wired Citizenship examines the evolving patterns of youth learning
and activism in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). In today's
digital age, in which formal schooling often competes with the
peer-driven outlets provided by social media, youth all over the
globe have forged new models of civic engagement, rewriting the
script of what it means to live in a democratic society. As a
result, state-society relationships have shifted-never more clearly
than in the MENA region, where recent uprisings were spurred by the
mobilization of tech-savvy and politicized youth. Combining
original research with a thorough exploration of theories of
democracy, communications, and critical pedagogy, this edited
collection describes how youth are performing citizenship,
innovating systems of learning, and re-imagining the practices of
activism in the information age. Recent case studies illustrate the
context-specific effects of these revolutionary new forms of
learning and social engagement in the MENA region.
