Abstract

`Whoever lives in our country, speaks our language, is brought up in our culture and takes pride in our glory is one of us.' Thus ran a declaration of modern leaders of Arab states. But what exactly is an Arab, and what has been their place in the course of human history? In this well-established classic, Professor Lewis examines the key issues of Arab development - their identity, the national revival which cemented the creation of the Islamic state, and the social and economic pressures that destroyed the Arab kingdom and created the Islamic empire. He analyses the forces which contributed to

Abstract

Now brought completely up to date, this classic study by one of the world's premier historians of the Middle East considers the achievement of the Arab peoples and their place in world history, from pre-Islamic times to the present-day. In a concise and readable account, Lewis examines the awakening that accompanied the advent of Islam and the political, religious, and social developments that transformed the Arab kingdom into an Islamic empire. He brings the edition up-to-the-minute with an account of recent events in the Middle East and analyzes the forces, internal and external, that have shaped the modern Arab world. Lewis shows how Western inventions and institutions have shattered the old structures and the traditional way of life, affecting every Arab, and causing a still unsatisfied demand for social, political, and cultural renewal.

Abstract

Quelle est l'histoire des Arabes depuis le premier millénaire (avant l'Islam), en passant par la constitution d'un empire et jusqu'à la renaissance du monde arabe aux XIXe et XXe siècles ? En dépit des apparences, il n'est rien de plus malaisé à écrire que l'histoire des Arabes, dans la mesure où ce dernier ternie, aujourd'hui d'usage courant pour désigner un vaste ensemble de populations arabophones, a recouvert dans le passé une réalité difficile à cerner. Ainsi, on ne peut le réserver aux seuls habitants de l'Arabie qui y vivaient avant l'apparition de l'Islam car une appellation aussi limitative ne permettrait de rendre compte que très partiellement de l'évolution à partir de laquelle naquit l'usage actuel, qui insiste sur les liens culturels et linguistiques unissant la Libye et le Maghreb aux pays du Proche-Orient arabe.

Abstract

Of the available sources for Islamic history between the seventh and eighth centuries CE, few are of greater importance than al-Baladhuri’s Kitab Futuh al-buldan (The Book of the Conquest of Lands). Written in Arabic by a ninth-century Muslim scholar working at the court of the ‘Abbasid caliphs, the Futuh's content covers many important matters at the beginning of Islamic history. It informs its audience of the major events of the early Islamic conquests, the settlement of Muslims in the conquered territories and their experiences therein, and the origins and development of the early Islamic state. Questions over the text's construction, purpose, and reception, however, have largely been ignored in current scholarship. This is despite both the text’s important historical material and its crucial early date of creation. It has become commonplace for researchers to turn to the Futuh for information on a specific location or topic, but to ignore the grander – and, in many ways, more straightforward – questions over the text’s creation and limitations. This book looks to correct these gaps in knowledge by investigating the context, form, construction, content, and early reception history of al-Baladhuri’s text.
