      abstract = {"During the Arab Spring, the world saw a long-suppressed  group in the Middle East--young people--assert itself and  demand its rights. But youthful dissent did not appear  overnight; for decades it has been simmering beneath the  surface in countries from Saudi Arabia to Yemen, from Iran  to Egypt. In Arab Spring Dreams, a number of young Middle  Easterners describe their experiences with the region's  laws and cultural mores, including the crime of holding  hands before marriage, discrimination and harassment over  religious beliefs, and young women fighting for the right  to complete their educations. They also discuss how  previous uprisings, particularly the American civil rights  movement of the 1960s, might be channeled to effect change  in their own countries. These stories present a decisive  call for change at a crucial point in the evolution of the  Middle East"--},
