Fascinating study… A deep dive into one of the revolution’s most critical faultlines.
Jack Shenker, Evening Standard
The Arab spring has yielded a bumper crop of books about youth across the region and Generation Revolution is among its more fruitful reads… Always compelling… Particularly interesting for its nuanced portraits of young Egyptian Men.
Shereen El Feki, Observer
Having lived on and off in Cairo for more than a decade, Aspden has a clear eye for its marvelous and maddening details… her stories are always compelling… Generation Revolution is particularly interesting for its nuanced portraits of young Egyptian men… A welcome prism, separating the spectrum of political Islam through the coming of age of its characters… A sobering tale for anyone with an interest in Egypt’s future.
Guardian
Those stories, full of compelling detail, give a vivid sense of the conflicting forces that propelled upheavals not only in Egypt but across a wide swath of the Middle East
