Policy streams, imaginative regimes of hope, despair and resistance, research beyond the ubiquitous methodological nationalism that continues to dominate contextualized studies in education. These are some of the urgent and intriguing aspects of this timely book that will serve as an important contribution to understanding the current situation confronting youth and education as well as education research itself.

Using a comparative-historical lens, <i>Educational Transitions in Post-Revolutionary Spaces</i> 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.
