Arab Nationalism in the Twentieth Century: From Triumph to Despair |
Good examination of the history of pan-Arabism/Arab nationalism, from its earliest roots to its eventual demise as a viable political movement in the post-Nasser era. While he acknowledges the Ottoman-era writers that first broached some of these ideas, he (in contrast to some of the essays in the volume edited by Khalidi) casts Arab nationalism as a specifically twentieth century (post WWI) movement that was most heavily influenced philosophically by German nationalist writers of the 18th/19th century and had its true genesis in the works of Sati' al-Husri, writing in post-WWI Iraq.
