This book is a comprehensive examination of the historical process
of social formation that gave rise to the communal consciousness of
the Arab nation and determined its sense of identity. It aims to
provide a historical context for the assessment of prevailing
concepts and suggests hypotheses for the development of modern Arab
consciousness. The book firstly traces Arab origins and the
formation of Arab societies after the emergence of Islam, assessing
the perspectives and factors that shaped the rise of the Arab
nation in both practical and intellectual terms. It then examines
the beginning of the Arab awakening and the course of its
development in the latter half of the nineteenth century and the
first two decades of the twentieth, focusing on the emergence of a
nationalist perspective in the development of intellectual
positions on patriotism and Arabism.

The subjects of this volume are views and perceptions of the a
oeothera (i.e. strangers, enemies or curiosities) within the
Islamic world, as well as in the interplay between the Islamic and
non-Islamic worlds. More than 20 contributions describe conceptions
and contingencies of the other from very different perspectives, so
arriving - with reference to Islam - at insights into the complex
problems of the a oeother.a The studies are dedicated to Professor
Gernot Rotter.
