Title: ANTUN SA'ADEH: THE MAN, HIS THOUGHT: AN ANTHOLOGY; ED. BY ADEL BESHARA
Description: "Sa'adeh's life was a unique blend of dedicated, perpetual struggle, righteous idealism, and theoretical pragmatism. He was not simply an outspoken figure on the political stage, but attempted the revolutionary treatment of paramount social and economic ills. This book is a collection of scholarly articles by leading authorities on Antun Sa'adeh's thought. The collection covers various aspects of his thought and not just his political views. The essays deal with specific issues, the arguments and counter-arguments that have been voiced, and they try, whenever possible, to take the various interpretations of aspects of Sa'adeh's thought a few steps further. The book provides a synopsis of the work done hitherto in the field, discusses the important studies published over the past fifty years, including the most up-to-date work, and at the same time identifies the main problems that have arisen in Arabic as well as English secondary sources. It is therefore both a reference work summarizing previous research in the field and an original work of synthesis and new interpretations."--Book cover.
