"The Algerian Dream: Youth and the Quest for Dignity" by Andrew G. Farrand (SFS'07) was published September 1, 2021 by New Degree Press. In the book, Farrand offers a mix of first-person observation and analysis based on his experience living and working on youth development projects in Algeria from 2013 to 2020, when he witnessed Algeria's Hirak revolution firsthand.

The book is now available from major booksellers worldwide.

Book description:

"Few outsiders have had the privilege to get to know Algeria and its youth so intimately—or to observe firsthand this pivotal chapter in the nation’s history. It’s a story that reveals much about the relationship between citizens and leaders, about the sanctity of human dignity, and about the power of dreams and the courage to pursue them.

"Nearly two-thirds of Algeria's population is under the age of 35. Growing up during or soon after the violent conflict that wracked Algeria during the 1990s, and amid the powerful influences of global online culture, this generation views the world much differently than their parents or grandparents do.

"The Algerian Dream invites readers to discover this generation, their hopes for the future and, most significantly, the frustrations that have brought them into the streets en masse since 2019, peacefully challenging a long-established order. After seven years living and working alongside these young people across Algeria, Andrew G. Farrand shares his insights on what makes the next generation tick in North Africa’s sleeping giant."

Early praise for the book included this quote from Noureddine Jebnoun of Georgetown's Center for Contemporary Arab Studies: “Informative, illuminating and fascinating... a fresh and an extremely timely first-hand account of the Algerian society.... Farrand’s book is a comprehensive introduction to all those who seek to deepen their knowledge of the country of one and a half million martyrs.”

Metzner previously served as the executive director of Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville and was earlier the founding executive director of the Kun-Yang Lin Dancers and the CHI Movement Arts Center.

His experience in the legal field includes working at two major New York law firms before joining the legal team at a luxury department store chain based in New York, where he rose in rank to senior vice president and general counsel during his 10-year tenure.

Metzner is a graduate of University of Virginia School of Law and Georgetown University.
