Women of Egypt

Can a Pan Arab State really materialize?

Women of Egypt

Arabism or Arab Nationalism is an ideology that was proposed at the beginning of the twentieth century by several Arab thinkers and leaders, with the objective to unite Arab countries in one single nation that speaks the same language, to stand against the West.

It was not until the rise of Nasser to power after the 1952 coup d’état that Arab nationalism or the formation of a Pan- Arab State became a project in progress that … Continue reading Can a Pan Arab State really materialize?
