Islamic Movements in the Arab World, 1913-1966

About this book

This set examines the progression of pan-Islamic organisations, movements and activists extant in the Arab states in the early 20th century, particularly in the Hijaz (Saudi Arabia), Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and most of the Maghreb states, together with the involvement of Islamic institutions in regularising and interceding in aspects of both religious and secular life. While pan-Islamism is a separate historical theme from Arab nationalism, the goals of both movements were at times intertwined.--From publisher's description.
