The 'Syria idea' emerged in the nineteenth century as a concept
of national awakening superseding both Arab nationalism and
separatist currents. Looking at nationalist movements, ideas and
individuals, this book traces the origin and development of the
idea of Syrian nationhood from the perspective of some of its
leading pioneers.
Providing a highly original comparative insight into the
struggle for independence and sovereignty in post-1850 Syria, it
addresses some of the most persistent questions about the
development of this nationalism. Chapters by eminent scholars from
within and outside of the region offer a comprehensive study of
individual Syrian writers and activists caught in a whirlwind of
uncertainty, competing ideologies, foreign interference, and
political suppression. A valuable addition to the present
scholarship on nationalism in the Middle East, this book will be of
interest to many professionals as well as to scholars of history,
Middle East studies and political science.
