Arab nationalism is the principal force shaping the lives of the Arab people in the 20th century. But Arab nationalism is not a stable, constant influence upon the Arab environment. Rather, it is a multi-dimensional dynamic process that interacts with the Arab environment—local, regional, & international. This book discusses the transformation of Arab nationalism, the problem of Arab unity, the Palestinian question, & social transformation. Examines political parties from after WW II to the mid-1970s. Extensive appendices.
