Jordan's diverse socioeconomic make-up encapsulates, like no other
Middle Eastern state, both the array of pressing short-term
problems facing the region, and the underlying challenges that Arab
states will need to face once the current spate of civil conflicts
is over: meaningful youth employment, female participation in
politics, and integration of refugees into society. This book tells
the story of Jordan through the lives of ordinary people, including
a political cartoonist, a Syrian refugee, a Jihadist and a female
parliamentarian. The raw voices and everyday struggles of these
people shine a fresh light on the politics, religion, and society
of a culture coming to terms with the harsh reality of
modernisation and urbanisation at a time of regional upheaval. With
her deep knowledge of Jordan's landscape, language and culture,
Rana Sweis sketches an intimate portrait of the intricacies and
complexities of life in the Middle East. Rather than focusing on
how individuals are affected by events in the region, she reveals a
cast of characters shaping their own lives and times. Voices of
Jordan shares those stories in all of their rich detail, offering a
living, breathing social and political history.
