Dwight F. Reynolds brings together a collection of essays by leading international
scholars to provide a comprehensive and accessible survey of modern Arab culture,
from the early nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The chapters survey key issues
necessary to any understanding of the modern Arab World: the role of the various forms
of the Arabic language in modern culture and identity; the remarkable intellectual
transformation undergone during the 'Nahda' or 'Arab Renaissance' of the late nineteenth
and early twentieth century, the significant role played by ethnic and religious minorities,
and the role of law and constitutions. Other chapters on poetry, narrative, theatre,
cinema and television, art, architecture, humour, folklore, and food offer fresh perspectives
and correct negative stereotypes that emerge from viewing Arab culture primarily through
the lens of politics, terrorism, religion, and economics
