Using a comparative-historical lens, Educational Transitions in Post-Revolutionary Spaces takes us through a fascinating journey of Tunisia's 3000 years of state-run education under different authoritarian regimes. It convincingly argues that education played a critical role in mobilizing youth for political action and explains the complex trajectories that led young Tunisian revolutionaries to the streets to peacefully topple the Ben Ali regime. This is an entirely compelling and timely book.
