Arab Nationalism

Paper Summary:

This paper explores and reports on a variety of opinions on Arab nationalism from the perspective of several points of view - in particular, Arab points of view. Some of the Arab thinkers whose opinions are reflected include: Adeed Dawisha, a native of Iraq who is presently political science professor at Miami University; Sayed Khatab, assistant professor of history at the University of Chicago; Sayyid Qutb, an Egyptian who lived from 1906-1966 and was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and Husain Haqqani, a noted journalist, diplomat, and he is a former advisor to prime ministers in Pakistan.

From the Paper:

"In Adeed Dawisha's book, Arab Nationalism in the Twentieth Century: From Triumph to Despair, he begins in a logical framework by defining Arab Nationalism, taking readers through the history of Arab Nationalism. But by Chapter Eight ("The Apex of Arab Nationalism"), readers are informed that the upward trajectory of the movement has stalled, and in Chapter Nine ("Arab Nationalism's Downward Slide"), Chapter Ten ("1967 and After: The Twilight of Arab Nationalism"), and Chapter Eleven ("The Demise of Arab Nationalism: A Postmortem"), he chronicles what he believes to be the end of Arab Nationalism according to his observations and research."
