Dwight F. Reynolds brings together a collection of essays by
leading international scholars to provide a comprehensive and
accessible survey of modern Arab culture, from the early nineteenth
to the twenty-first century. The chapters survey key issues
necessary to any understanding of the modern Arab World: the role
of the various forms of the Arabic language in modern culture and
identity; the remarkable intellectual transformation undergone
during the 'Nahda' or 'Arab Renaissance' of the late nineteenth and
early twentieth century, the significant role played by ethnic and
religious minorities, and the role of law and constitutions. Other
chapters on poetry, narrative, theatre, cinema and television, art,
architecture, humour, folklore, and food offer fresh perspectives
and correct negative stereotypes that emerge from viewing Arab
culture primarily through the lens of politics, terrorism,
religion, and economics.
