The years 1954-1958 in Syria are popularly known as "The Democratic
Years," a brief period of civilian government before the
consolidation of authoritarian rule. Kevin W. Martin provides a
cultural history of the period and argues that the authoritarian
outcome was anything but inevitable. Examining the flourishing
broadcast and print media of the time, he focuses on three public
figures, experts whose professions-law, the military, and
medicine-projected modernity and modeled the new Arab citizen. This
experiment with democracy, however abortive, offers a model of
governance from Syria's historical experience that could serve as
an alternative to dictatorship.
