520 1 $a"Two-thirds of the Middle East is under 25 years old, and there's been an explosive growth of college graduates. Still, there aren't enough jobs to go round, and they're all having a collective quarter-life crisis. In the months before turning 25 herself, BBC producer Allegra Stratton set out to meet them." "She visits Beirut, Amman, Cairo, Dubai, Kuwait City, and Damascus looking for youth culture as we know it. She sits in on auditions for the Lebanese version of American Idol and tries to get into a men-only Starbucks in Egypt. She interviews pop stars and filmmakers and DJs, visits the gay community, and meets the region's most famous single mother. Along the way she discovers a massive video industry of airbrushed, heavily produced, scantily clad singers that hold the affections of young Arabs. And all of them - members of the Muslim Brotherhood and of sports clubs alike - talk of the same Islamic revival." ""Muhajabah" means one who veils. So what to call the veiled women Stratton encounters who strive for sexiness by lavishing what's left unveiled-face and feet - with makeup, jewelry, and killer shoes? Muhajababes, and they may represent a culture that's closer to ours than we think."--BOOK JACKET.
