Muhajababes


I am currently reading "Muhajababes" by Allegra Stratton. It is very interesting for all Arab young people to read. Maybe it will feel like seeing themselves in the mirror for the first time.
It is not fiction. But rather conversations with people she met at universities, TV stations, or even in demonstrations..
About the book:
'Meet Allegra Stratton, hip young journalist. She's been wrong about the war in Iraq, fallen out with her friend, and is fast approaching a quarter-life crisis. In her disillusionment she takes herself to Beirut, Amman, Cairo, Dubai, Kuwait City and Damascus to understand what daily life is like for Arabs of her own age. She finds that two-thirds of the Middle East population is younger than 25. That there are more graduates than at any time in history, but few jobs to go round. '
