Arab responses to Fascism and Nazism : attraction and repulsion
\"This is the first book to present an analysis of Arab response to fascism and Nazism from the perspectives of both individual countries and the Arab world at large. This collection problematizes and ultimately deconstructs the established narratives that assume most Arabs supported fascism and Nazism leading up to and during World War II. Using new source materials taken largely from Arab memoirs, archives, and print media, the articles reexamine Egyptian, Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinian, and Iraqi responses in the 1930s and throughout the war. While acknowledging the individuals, forces, and organizations that did support and collaborate with Nazi Germany and fascist Italy, Arab Responses to Fascism and Nazism focuses on the many other Arab voices that identified with Britain and France and with the Allied cause during the war. The authors argue that many groups within Arab societies - elites and non-elites, governing forces, and civilians - rejected Nazism and fascism as totalitarian, racist, and, most important, as new, more oppressive forms of European imperialism. The essays in this volume argue that, in contrast to prevailing beliefs that Arabs were de facto supporters of Italy and Germany - since \"the enemy of my enemy is my friend\" - mainstream Arab forces and currents opposed the Axis powers and supported the Allies during the war. They played a significant role in the battles for control over the Middle East.\"-Back cover.

The Politics of Memory. The Necessity for Historical Investigation into Arab Responses to Fascism and Nazism
This essay highlights the recent developments in the study of Arab responses to Fascism and Nazism between 1933 and 1945. It analyzes old approaches and paradigms that have emphasized the sympathy and collaboration of Arab leaders and forces with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. In criticizing these dominant research trends, the essay argues that it is mostly memories and political narratives produced in a later period which were responsible for such scholarly misunderstanding. This essay describes the politicization brought about by the establishment of Israel and the ensuing Palestinian-Arab-Israeli conflict on scholarly historical interpretations. It also brings new evidence and innovative research to the fore, demonstrating that many mainstream political leaders, intellectual forces and movements actually rejected and opposed the totalitarianism, racism, and imperialism of Nazism and Fascism in the public spheres. This introduction suggests new directions for further research on this critically important subject in Middle Eastern History.

Egypt, Islam, and the Arabs
Throughout the 20th century, Egyptian nationalism has alternately revolved around three primary axes: a local Egyptian territorial nationalism, a sense of Arab ethnic-linguistic nationalism, and an identification with the wider Muslim community. This detailed study is the first to systematically examine Egyptian territorial nationalism as both ideology and praxis--from the ascendancy of an exclusively Egyptianist national orientation during World War I to the intellectual and political dimensions of the phenomenon as it flourished in the interwar years.

Middle East Historiographies
This collection of ten essays focuses on the way major schools and individuals have narrated histories of the Middle East. The distinguished contributors explore the historiography of economic and intellectual history, nationalism, fundamentalism, colonialism, the media, slavery, and gender. In doing so, they engage with some of the most controversial issues of the twentieth century.
Middle Eastern studies today cover a rich and varied terrain, yet the study of the profession itself has been relatively neglected. There is, however, an ever-present need to examine what the research has chosen to include and exclude and to become more consciously aware of shifts in research approaches and methods. This collection illuminates the evolving state of the art and suggests new directions for further research.
