The third edition includes a new Part Five on the tensions between
Arab nationalism and Islam arising from the crisis of the
nation-state and of the de-legitimisation of Pan-Arab regimes. The
effects of the Arab defeat in the Six-Day War 1967 and the rise of
political Islam in the 1970s are the focus of the new part. The
background of the analysis of the impact and function of
nationalism and its contribution to social and political change in
the Third World, taking the rise of nationalism in the Middle East
as a historical example. Professor Tibi concentrates on the period
after the First World War, when many Arab intellectuals became
disillusioned with Britain and France as a result of the occupation
of their countries. One focus of this study are the writings and
influence of Sati' al-Husri on Middle Eastern politics. Professor
Tibi illustrates the connection between modern Arab nationalism and
nineteenth-century German Romantic nationalism, which will be of
particular interest to the English reader. Professor Tibi concludes
that while nationalism has played a necessary and important role in
the movement for national independence in the Middle East, it has
since developed into an ideology which seems to obstruct further
social and political emancipation. This third edition, brought
completely up to date by a substantial new introduction and two new
concluding chapters, will be of particular interest to historians
and social scientists dealing with nationalism and crises of the
nation-state as well as to students of the Middle East and
contemporary Islam.
