	abstract = {Why do young Saudis, night after night, joyride and skid cars on Riyadh{\textquoteright}s avenues? Who are these {\textquoteright}drifters{\textquoteright} who defy public order and private property? What drives their revolt? Based on four years of fieldwork in Riyadh, Pascal Menoret{\textquoteright}s Joyriding in Riyadh explores the social fabric of the city and connects it to Saudi Arabia{\textquoteright}s recent history. Car drifting emerged after Riyadh was planned, and oil became the main driver of the economy. For young rural migrants, it was a way to reclaim alienating and threatening urban spaces. For the Saudi state, it jeopardized its most basic operations: managing public spaces and enforcing law and order. A police crackdown soon targeted car drifting, feeding a nation-wide moral panic led by religious activists who framed youth culture as a public issue. This book retraces the politicization of Riyadh youth and shows that, far from being a marginal event, car drifting is embedded in the country{\textquoteright}s social violence and economic inequality.},
