Envisioning the Arab Future: Modernization in US-Arab Relations, 1945–1967 de Nathan J. Citino

Envisioning the Arab Future: Modernization in US-Arab Relations, 1945–1967: Global and International History

Autor Nathan J. Citino
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 dec 2018
Decades before 9/11 and the 'Arab Spring', US and Arab elites contended over the future of the Middle East. Through unprecedented research in Arabic and English, Envisioning the Arab Future details how Americans and Arabs - nationalists, Islamists, and communists - disputed the meaning of modernization within a shared set of Cold War-era concepts. Faith in linear progress, the idea that society functioned as a 'system', and a fascination with speed united officials and intellectuals who were otherwise divided by language and politics. This book assesses the regional implications of US power while examining a range of topics that transcends the Arab-Israeli conflict, including travel, communities, gender, oil, agriculture, Iraqi nationalism, Nasser's Arab Socialism, and hijackings in both the United States and the Middle East. By uncovering a shared history of modernization between Arabs and Americans, Envisioning the Arab Future challenges assumptions about a 'clash of civilizations' and profoundly reinterprets the antecedents of today's crises.

Recenzii

'Envisioning the Arab Future is noteworthy both in the variety of case studies examined and in the range of sources utilized. It repeatedly demonstrates the degree to which Arabs and Americans often spoke a common language and had a shared vision of 'modernization', and how specific modernizing policies and initiatives were mutually constituted out of Arab-American dialogue. This is a valuable addition to our understanding of the Arab-American relationship in the post-World War II decades.' James Jankowski, University of Colorado Boulder
'Envisioning the Arab Future traces a key source for the social scientists who pioneered the study of 'modernization' in the post-1945 Arab world and beyond, as well as for those who would retell that history now, namely Arab thinkers and politicians themselves. Muslim Brothers, Communists, Baathists, and others all had influential ideas about development. Vivid writing, new findings, thoughtful criticism, and a bold turn in argument: Citino does it all.' Robert Vitalis, University of Pennsylvania
'… brings a host of often unfamiliar Arab voices to a Western audience and contains striking, novel insights on nearly every page.' Salim Yaqub, International Journal of Middle East Studies
