Synopsis

Explores the influences that triggered the Arabic awakening, the 'nahdah', from the 1700s onwards

  • Highlights the complexity of the movement and offers a more pluralist history of the period
  • The first English-language study to focus on little-studied intellectual figures and currents of the early nahdah
  • Deals with important themes such as modern Arab intellectual history, literature and culture, and with issues of modernity, language and identity – allowing for significant engagement with the study of the intellectual life and discourse of the nahdah as a whole
To understand today's Arab thinking, you need to go back to the beginnings of modernity: the nahdah or Arab renaissance of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Abdulrazzak Patel enhances our understanding of the nahdah and its intellectuals, taking into account important internal factors alongside external forces. Patel explores the key factors that contributed to the rise and development of the nahdah. He introduces the humanist movement of the period that was the driving force behind much of the linguistic, literary and educational activity. Drawing on intellectual history, literary history and postcolonial studies, he argues that the nahdah was the product of native development and foreign assistance and that nahdah reformist thought was hybrid in nature.
