Sommario/riassunto

The uprising in Tunisia has come to be seen as the first true revolution of the twenty-first century, one that kick-started the Arab Spring. In this remarkable work, Alcinda Honwana goes beyond superficial accounts of what occurred to explore the defining role of the country's youth, and in particular the cyber activist. An essential account of an event that has inspired the world, and its potential repercussions for the Middle East, Africa and beyond.
