To Adeed its either Nassir or its not real Arab nationalism. The book is generally good, near of it deals with UAR, just goes wonky by the time the volume gets to the 70s. the book title is misleading information technology does not comprehend everything. The beginning is not that bad but at the end he gets vague. As well much reliance on Ajami and Lewis, and they did non get it right. Someone needs to change the titles of his books, same misleading title as his volume well-nigh Iraq.

A skilful analysis of 20th century Arab nationalism, mainly focused on Egypt and Nasser, though with plenty on Syria, Iraq, the Ba'ath Party, etc. Information technology's exhaustive without beingness overly detailed, it quotes frequently from primary sources, and most importantly, it's highly analytical and offers compelling arguments about the rise and fall of this 20th century motility.

Anyone remotely familiar with modern Heart Eastern history knows well-nigh the infamous Nasser and the Arab nationalist motility. The movement was enormous, capturing the hearts and minds of Arabs from Morocco to Republic of iraq. Where did this motion get exactly?

Dawisha does a great job at presenting a readable, detailed ideological development of the Arab nationalist movement, from its Pan-Islamist roots of rejecting Western colonialism to its ironic decay into, notwithstanding again, the rising of Islamism in the Arab

Anyone remotely familiar with modern Heart Eastern history knows most the infamous Nasser and the Arab nationalist movement. The movement was enormous, capturing the hearts and minds of Arabs from Morocco to Republic of iraq. Where did this motility go exactly?

Dawisha does a dandy job at presenting a readable, detailed ideological development of the Arab nationalist movement, from its Pan-Islamist roots of rejecting Western colonialism to its ironic decay into, withal again, the rise of Islamism in the Arab world as a solution to the issues Arab nationalism could never gear up.

This volume actually does a keen task in identifying Arab nationalism's (and the Arab identity at that) instrumentalist roots. The thought of a unified, Arab nation and an "Arabized" version of history where the Arab people have ever been unique was very unpopular amongst the masses when the ideas initially began to surface. Information technology was Arab elites, those sent off to the West for educational activity and, therefore, were exposed to cultural nationalistic writings like Herder's, that imported these ideas into the Arab world. No doubt these nationalist messages would naturally clash with the universalistic outlook of Islam. Fifty-fifty Nasser, Dawisha notes, was not entirely sold on the idea of Arab nationalism when he was climbing to power. Whatever appeal it had to the average Arab early on lay in its anti-colonialist attitude, not its orientation towards the Arab identity.

Nonetheless, Arab nationalism exploded throughout the Arab world and became increasingly popular. Then why did it fail? Dawisha does a great chore at presenting the factional debates that plagued (and notwithstanding plague) the Arab world. Why were Ba'athists and Nasserists, ii incredibly similar ideologies, then opposed to each other at times? Why the rivalry between Egypt and Iraq, throughout multiple unlike regimes, when both held the same goals? This volume does a adept job at explaining why the Arab nationalist projection was doomed from the outset. While many inside and outside of the Arab earth expected a looming, unified Arab nation, it ultimately failed. It's odd to think that such a massive, prominent motion from the 1950s-1960s died out so speedily. Barely a ghost remains to this mean solar day. When volition we see the Arab earth every bit united today as they were back then? Perhaps more disturbingly, volition it even make a difference? Or will history repeat and leave the average Arab to suffer in stagnation from their leader'south nothingness?

This volume, written past someone who has done extensive research on the topic, is very informative without the flair of some of the other nonfiction books I accept read this year and for my class.

This is really an interesting book. The author has managed to support his thesis about the rise and fall of the arab nationalism appropriately. He is objective and the book is full of useful data.
