N2  - Sequel to the author's book Urban Notables and Arab Nationalism. The history of Syria during the last days of the Ottoman rule, the following few years of independence and nation-building, occupation by France under League of Nations mandate, and freedom from them towards the end of the 1930s as a consequence of the Second World War.; Why did Syrian political life continue to be dominated by a particular urban elite even after the dramatic changes following the end of four hundred years of Ottoman rule and the imposition of French control? Philip Khoury’s comprehensive work discusses this and other questions in the framework of two related conflicts—one between France and the Syrian nationalists, and the other between liberal and radical nationalism.
