Items related to Arab Nationalism
Arab nationalism has been one of the leading ideologies in the Middle East and North Africa during the twentieth century. Political figures such as Gamal ‘Abd al-Nasser, political movements such as the Ba‘th party, and events such as the several Arab-Israeli wars still dominate its representation in the eyes of Western observers. In addition, the western historiography of Arab Nationalism is still dominated by political history and history of ideas approaches. During the past two decades, researchers have, however, produced studies with a much broader view of the topic, informed by the theories and methodologies of disciplines like anthropology, as well as cultural and subaltern studies. The collection of articles in these volumes will represent this evolution of the historiography since the 1930s from observers’ concerns about Arab Nationalism as a political force challenging Great and Superpower hegemony towards the current interests in cultural expressions of national identities and the competition (or lack thereof) between secular nationalism and political Islam.
