How are “millennials” changing the Mediterranean?

Published at 47 29,,, 17 2017

Arabisms: Festival of young creators: Conference given (05/18/2017) by Juan Cole, a professor of History at the University of Michigan, and Nesreen El Hachlaf, a lawyer and journalist in Spain. The event was moderated by Alfonso Carlos Bolado, director of the Contemporary Islam Library, Edicions Bellaterra. The youths who were born from 1982 through 2004, referred to as millennials, will become more than 70% of the developed world’s labor force in 2025. Not all groups of adolescents and youths in their twenties create historical movements focusing on their identity as young people, but it appears as though Arab millennials have. Six years ago, an urban youth movement broke onto the scene, given momentum by social and economic malaise, for the discovery of new life experiences, in confrontation with a series of regimes whose only interest lay in perpetuating their own power. But how did they do this? Juan Cole took a look at the cases of Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. At the time, people spoke of a contagious effect spreading out from Tahrir Square to Spain’s May 15th movement. Can the Arab experience be compared with that of youths in Spain? Nessrin el Hachlaf delved further into the matter, examining the case of the migrant population residing in Spain and their descendants.
