This work is a study of the nature and origin of nationality and
modern social ideals in the Middle East, particularly Egypt, in the
late nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. Bringing together
writings on political and social reform with literary works,
Noorani challenges dominant assumptions about the emergence of
modernity. It shows that while nationalist, liberal, and democratic
ideals emerged in the Middle East under European influence, these
ideals were nevertheless created out of existing cultural values by
reformers and intellectuals. The central element of this process,
the book argues, was the transformation of virtue into nationality.
