episode is that the most backward of the Arab regions,
i.e., the Arabian Peninsula, got the better deal according
to which independent states were created, whereas Syria
and Iraq by far much more developed were yet to experience
foreign rule under different forms for years to come.
It is important to note that in its formative
years the Arab national movement was essentially an eastern
Arab movement. This phenomenon was mainly due to the fact
that at an early stage the African part of the Arab world
was separated from direct Ottoman rule either by the acts
of its Walis, who opted for independence, or by the encroach-
ments of Western powers. In either case political movements
in the African part of the Arab worid were pushed along
completely different paths.
Having surveyed the history of the Arab national
movement and traced the development of that movement from
its beginnings in’ the nineteenth century down to the early
twenties, we have now to survey the political and social
thought that was introduced in the period under discussion.
It is deemed necessary to engage in:such a discussion so
as to understand in depth the social and intellectual
developments of the forthcoming period.
At the outset one may single out two streams of
thought: Islamic reformation. and secular nationalism. In
their search for identity the new generations that took it
upon themselves to establish a new political order were
more or less influenced by these main streams of thought.
