Arab Awakening & Islamic Revival

The Politics of Ideas in the Middle East

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Provides a critical assessment of the contradictions of Arab nationalism and Islamic fundamentalism, and the misrepresentation of both in the West. This book argues that Arab nationalism - the so-called Arab awakening - bore within it the seeds of its own failure. Arabism as an idea drew upon foreign sources and resources.
