Decades before 9/11 and the 'Arab Spring', US and Arab elites
contended over the future of the Middle East. Through unprecedented
research in Arabic and English, Envisioning the Arab Future details
how Americans and Arabs - nationalists, Islamists, and communists -
disputed the meaning of modernization within a shared set of Cold
War-era concepts. Faith in linear progress, the idea that society
functioned as a 'system', and a fascination with speed united
officials and intellectuals who were otherwise divided by language
and politics. This book assesses the regional implications of US
power while examining a range of topics that transcends the
Arab-Israeli conflict, including travel, communities, gender, oil,
agriculture, Iraqi nationalism, Nasser's Arab Socialism, and
hijackings in both the United States and the Middle East. By
uncovering a shared history of modernization between Arabs and
Americans, Envisioning the Arab Future challenges assumptions about
a 'clash of civilizations' and profoundly reinterprets the
antecedents of today's crises.
