The National Student Movement in Jordan from 1953 to 1999

  • This book examines the national student movement in Jordan from 1953 to 1999—an important period in the history of the Jordanian state. During these decades, the student movement was not merely a limited youth activity; rather, it played a prominent political and intellectual role and was influenced by major issues such as the Palestinian cause, political parties, the role of teachers and schools, as well as regional and international circumstances that helped shape students' awareness.
  • The 1950s and 1960s witnessed the peak of student activism, where students’ interaction with political party activities was evident and had a direct impact on shaping their national and pan-Arab orientations. After the imposition of martial law in 1957, this activism declined in schools and society but later re-emerged in a new and more organized form with the establishment of the University of Jordan in 1962.
  • Researcher Ali Awad Saeed Al-Awaoudeh relied on a wide variety of sources—such as Royal Throne Speeches, newspapers, documents, memoirs, and personal interviews—to construct a comprehensive study that reveals the nature of the student movement and its transformations. The book consists of five chapters and a conclusion that presents the most important findings and recommendations.
  • The significance of this work lies in the fact that it is the first specialized study on this subject, making it a key reference for researchers interested in Jordan’s political and social history during the second half of the twentieth century.
