In The Arab Cocoon, author Tarek Heggy explores the reasons behind
the widespread refusal of Arabic-speaking societies to join in the
march towards modernity and progress. The refusal, according to
Heggy, is due to three constraints, namely: (1) a widespread
anti-modernity and anti-integration religious Islamic movement; (2)
out-dated educational systems; and (3) unhealthy hatred of the
'other'. He suggests that the systematic rejection of modernity and
progress which has resulted from these three constraints is the
direct cause for the confrontation between most of the
Arabic-speaking peoples and the West. It ensures that Arab culture,
people, and their mentality are unable to integrate in the march of
civilization, based on progress and modernity. Very little - if
anything - has been written in depth on the Arab culture and mind.
Writing in an informative and accessible style, Tarek Heggy offers
the depth needed to understand and deal with this expanding
antimodernity culture, and consequently reduce clashes between the
Arab and Western worlds.
