Description: "Arab Unity and Disunity emphasizes the significance of historical perspective in arriving at accurate generalizations concerning the present social, economic, and political factors affecting the Arab states' movement toward unity. Baali discusses Arab unity and disunity before, during, and after Mohammed's time; the prime movers behind the Arab national movement after World War I; and the West's betrayal of the Arab cause. He also analyzes the inability of Arabs to replace their local and narrow asabiyah (solidarity, unity) with a wider, more comprehensive, Arab unity."--BOOK JACKET.
