Cultural Decolonization
The swift rise of a new guard of cultural thinkers from the margins of the Arab world during the 1970s amounts to one of the most striking yet forgotten episodes in postcolonial Arab thought. Coming primarily from Morocco, these intellectuals and activists rejected a long-seated assumption prevalent among the ranks of Arab nationalists according to which one must disown their past traditions in order to become modern. The advent of cultural think…
Politics of Arab Authenticity
Dār al-Ṭalīʿah and the Question of Arab Authenticity in the 1960s
Cultural institutions and publishing houses have been essential to the making of Arab intellectual conversations in the post-colonial era. The publishing house of Dār al-Ṭalīʿah (est. 1959) played a central role in naturalizing social classifications, ideological views and cultural expectations that have influenced the then-new articulation of the notion of Arab authenticity. Yet, al-Ṭalīʿah was more than a publishing house: it was an intellectua…
Age of Coexistence
“Every history of sectarianism is also a history of coexistence” (1). Thus starts Age of Coexistence by Ussama Makdisi, a prominent historian of the Middle East based at Rice University in the United States.

Makdisi argues that beneath the politics of sectarianism that pla…
From Translation to Critique
The New Arab Left laid the foundations for a new intellectual age in the post-colonial Arab world. In the 1960s, a group of exiled scholars, mostly from Syria, popularized many of the current ideas, vocabularies, and social visions that informed a host of political institutions in Lebanon, Syria and far beyond. This article explores the connections that bind together this group of young and worldly Arab translators, who brought Marxist understand…
The Arab Rationalist Association and the turn to Nahḍah in contemporary Arab thought
The spike in the number of Arabic writings on the nahḍah since the beginning of the 1990 s represents a new and intriguing development in contemporary Arab thought. This relatively recent nahḍah-frenzy is best reflected in the new editions, collections and re-publications of nahdawi writers whose articles and essays remained, until recently, scattered and dispersed. Why did the 1990 s mark a time where the need to repackage of Nahda literature be…
