Over the past decade, Arab nationalism has lost its grip on the imagination of a new generation, and Islam, as an ideology has spread across the region. Arab Awakening and Islamic Revival is a critical assessment of the contradictions of Arab nationalism and Islamism, and the misrepresentation of both in the West.
"These essays are models of insight and learning , both documenting the attractions of Arab nationalist and Islamist ideas to several generations of Middle Easterners and explaining why the ideals have significantly diverged from reality." James Piscatori
