Bringing together writings on political and social reform with literary works, Noorani challenges dominant assumptions about the emergence of modernity. It shows that while nationalist, liberal, and democratic ideals emerged in the Middle East under European influence, these ideals were nevertheless created out of existing cultural values by reformers and intellectuals. The central element of this process, the book argues, was the transformation of virtue into nationality.Palgrave studies in cultural and intellectual history.Egyptian literature, ModernHistory and criticismHegemonyEgyptHistoryHegemonyMiddle EastHistoryIdeals (Philosophy)Social aspectsEgyptHistoryNationalismEgyptHistoryPolitical cultureEgyptHistoryPolitical cultureMiddle EastHistoryEgyptPolitics and government1882-1952Middle EastColonial influenceMiddle EastPolitics and governmentEgyptian literature, ModernHistory and criticism.HegemonyHistory.HegemonyHistory.Ideals (Philosophy)Social aspectsHistory.NationalismHistory.Political cultureHistory.Political cultureHistory.962.04962/.04Noorani Yaseen1966-1678383MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815449803321Culture and hegemony in the colonial Middle East4045997UNINA
