Wartime Russia is drowning in fascist symbols. Zealous patriots attack journalists, opposition activists, and anyone suspected of betraying the motherland. Russians are urged to join the cause by hordes of online trolls and sleek videos of angry young men bellowing patriotic slogans. State television terrifies viewers with trumped up tales of anti-Russian conspiracies and genocidal yearnings. Child soldiers proudly parade across Red Square. This is Russia in the 2020s: a land of performative rage and nationalist untruth, where play-acting, pretense, and broken promises are a way of life.

In 2003 Rachel Aspden arrived in Egypt as a 23-year-old journalist. She found a country on the brink of change. The two thirds of Egypt's eight million citizens under the age of 30 were stifled, broken, and frustrated, caught between a dictatorship that had nothing to offer them and their autocratic parents' generation, defined by tradition and obedience. In January 2011 the young people's patience ran out.

The Baby Boomers are the largest and most powerful generation in American history—and they aren't going away any time soon.

America is at a crossroads. We are alienated from civic engagement, and our democracy is in doubt. Yet there is a new energy in the air. Young people are again taking up the role they've often held: as leaders of change, demanding a better future, wielding their votes to uphold democracy and lead the country forward. Enter Generation Citizen, an organization dedicated to empowering youth through revitalizing civics education across America.

Deutschland ist seit über 35 Jahren wiedervereint, doch die Mauern in den Köpfen sind längst nicht abgebaut. Die Kluft zwischen Ost und West scheint größer denn je. Die Stärke der AfD–vor allem bei der jungen Wählerschaft–ist Beleg für eine große Polarisierung. Genau diese Themen greift Nora Zabel in ihrem gesellschaftskritischen Sachbuch auf. Mitte der 1990er Jahre in der mecklenburgischen Provinz geboren, verlor sie niemals die Hoffnung auf eine gleichberechtigte Gesellschaft und engagierte sich schon in ihrer Schulzeit politisch.

What is FLINT? It's what makes America strong. We live in a culture that often dismisses and ridicules conservative values. By the time liberal professors, the news media, and Hollywood get through with them, many young Americans are convinced "conservative" means extremist and intolerant.
