Klappentext zu „Inequality and Mobility “
After the revolutions in 2011, Tunisia became a symbol of freedom and justice and thus the hope of an entire region. Now, the picture has been reversed: political freedoms are being curtailed and the economy is in disarray, especially after the pandemic and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Resentment and attacks against >Others< fall on fertile ground in the face of expanding inequality. Simultaneously, particularly younger people desire to leave the country. The contributors to this volume investigate the capabilities and aspirations to comprehend their histories of erosion, but also to reveal alternative ways of imagining futures.
