Summary
The interrelated set of conditions facing the Arab people, as defined in Chapter 6 of Palestine: A Socialist Introduction: authoritarianism, development, citizenship and sectarianism; the legacy of colonialism, the nature of the state and state–citizen relations; social and economic justice, resources, social rights and freedoms and minority rights; and the conflict with Israel and foreign military and political interventions (Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, lines 1276-1285).
Details
- Azmi Bishara is credited with revolutionizing the study of the Arab Question and resituating the Palestinian cause in its Arab dimension (lines 1276-1285).
- The concept works through the distinction between the qawmi (pan-Arab) and qutri (local) dimensions of Arab politics, which post-colonial Arab states and intellectuals did not tend to separate before Sadat’s peace deal with Israel (lines 1255-1265, 1278-1290).
