societies introduced political overtones, and George Antonious
maintains that the Syrian Scientific Society, founded in 1857,
uttered the first cry of Arab nationalism.”
The foregoing factors, i.e., the deteriorating
conditions of the Ottoman Empire, the introduction of
defensive reforms and the impact of the West had a lasting
effect upon the traditional social structure and political
system of the Empire. The educated Arabs were compelled to
react to the demands and pressures of the new age. Through
their literary clubs and learned societies they played an
important role in awakening the national consciousness of
the Arab subjects of the Empire. In this period, which runs
from around the middle of the nineteenth century to about
1870, the seeds of national thinking were sown in the midst
of a general environment which was far from absorbing the
real dimensions of the nationalist thought which was still
foreign to the Islamic community.

Zeine, op. cit. Dr. Nuseibeh traces the roots of Arab
nationalism to pre-Islamic sources while Prof. Zeine traces
them to the years 1909-1914 when the Young Turks became
increasingly nationalists. The author does not intend to
indulge in this controversy which is not within the scope
of this study.
