Elliot Hill | (TheLipTV Video Interview) | – –

“Millennials in the Middle East are forming a clear generational gap between themselves and their elders, with the digital revolution effecting a sweeping advance of secularization. With majority populations under the age of 30, many countries are seeing a wide gulf between their social media savvy young people, and the more religious and ‘disconnected’ older guard. We discuss the changing face of Middle Eastern societies with author Juan Cole in this Lip News interview highlight, hosted by Elliot Hill.”
