The study of Arab historiography and of the emergence of the Arab
nation-state as an object of historical treatment is a matter of
considerable current interest. Despite its importance, no academic
work has dealt with this subject as a major preoccupation of Arab
historians and intellectuals. This book, first published in 1989,
discusses the development of modern Arab historiography and its
study of the nation-state in the nineteenth century, and analyses
the work of three contemporary Arab historians from Egypt, the
Lebanon and Morocco. An important and highly readable account, it
reaffirms the importance of historiography and proposes a revision
of the manner in which modern Arab thought has hitherto been
classified and interpreted.
