An analysis of the various theories of nationalism; a history of Arab nationalism; study of the ideas of Sati 'al-Husri, perhaps the foremost propagandist for the most widely accepted view of Arab nationalism. He posits that by emphasizing the purely cultural factors of nationhood, glories of past acheivements and the perfidy of external enemies, Arab nationalism ignored the unsatisfactory social conditions and failed to develop into progressive modernization.
