A History of the Modern Middle East: Rulers, Rebels, and Rogues
Hoda A. Yousef. Composing Egypt: Reading, Writing, and the Emergence of a Modern Nation, 1870–1930
In Composing Egypt: Reading, Writing, and the Emergence of a Modern Nation, 1870–1930, Hoda A. Yousef examines the many “literacies” practiced during the era of political, educational, and societal change in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Egypt. Yousef illustrates the ways that Egypt’s population related to an Arabic language in flux, an educational system being transformed, a communication network expanding as a result of new techn…

The American University of Beirut: Arab Nationalism and Liberal Education
Since the American University of Beirut opened its doors in 1866, the campus has stood at the intersection of a rapidly changing American educational project for the Middle East and an ongoing student quest for Arab national identity and empowerment. Betty S. Anderson provides a unique and comprehensive analysis of how the school shifted from a missionary institution providing a curriculum in Arabic to one offering an English-language American li…
September 1970 and the Palestinian Issue: A Case Study of Student Politicization at the American University of Beirut (AUB)
This article uses a case study of the American University of Beirut (AUB) to investigate which regional events proved the most influential in delineating students' political positions in the years immediately after the 1967 War. In particular, the Israeli attack on the Beirut Airport in December 1968 and the Jordanian assault on the Palestinian fedayeen in Black September of 1970 catalyzed activism around a leftist, progressive, and pro-Palestini…
Voices of Protest: Arab Nationalism and the Palestinian Revolution at the American University of Beirut
This article examines the student protests of the early 1950s and the late 1960s to early 1970s at the American University of Beirut (AUB) to investigate how the students used the political ideologies dominant in each era to redefine the parameters of the campus arena. In the 1950s, under the rubric of Arab nationalism, students saw Arab solidarity as the key to overturning repression in all its forms, including those perpetrated by the AUB admin…

Nationalist Voices in Jordan: The Street and the State
According to conventional wisdom, the national identity of the Jordanian state was defined by the ruling Hashemite family, which has governed the country since the 1920s. But this view overlooks the significant role that the "Arab street"-in this case, ordinary Jordanians and Palestinians-played and continues to play in defining national identity in Jordan and the Fertile Crescent as a whole. Indeed, as this pathfinding study makes clear, "the st…
