How the conflict between political Islamists and secular-leaning nationalists has shaped the modern Middle East
In Making the Arab World, Fawaz Gerges, one of the world's leading authorities on the Middle East, describes how the clash between pan-Arab nationalism and pan-Islamism has shaped the history of the region from the 1920s to the present. He tells this story through an unprecedented dual biography of Egyptian president and Arab nationalist leader Gamal Abdel Nasser (1918-1970) and another of the twentieth-century Arab world's most influential figures--Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966), a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood and the father of many branches of radical political Islam. Based on a decade of research, including in-depth interviews with many leading figures in the story, Making the Arab World is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the roots of the turmoil engulfing the Middle East, from civil wars to Al-Qaeda and ISIS.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Princeton University PressISBN-13:9780691196466ISBN-10:069119646XUPC:9780691196466Book Category:History, Biography & Autobiography, Political ScienceBook Subcategory:Middle East, Political, Political IdeologiesBook Topic:Egypt, Nationalism & PatriotismSize:8.80 x 5.70 x 1.30 inchesWeight:1.4Product ID:SCZFDY21DN
