As a result of the collapse of totalitarian and semitotalitarian ideologies worldwide, democratic values appear to be gaining influence in Arab political discourse. Nevertheless, an essential component remains absent: the notion of individualism. Stifled by religion and the tribal systems so common to the region on the one hand, and by modern militant tendencies on the other, the Arab self has been virtually obliterated, either as a project or as a material existence. This is the first study of individualism or the lack of it in the Arab Middle East. It is a critical reading of historical developments since the late eighteenth century, from the viewpoint of Europes impact on the area, and a cultural commentary on the manifestations of a nascent sense of self, noticeable in the fields of poetry, the plastic arts, film and certain aspects of everyday life. The essays by both Arab and nonArab scholars and writers explore Islam, the Mohammad Ali era in Egypt, the ArabIsraeli conflict, the Gulf, the MashreqMaghreb dialogue and Lebanons modern experience; they all share a common concern: without a strong sense of individualism, no real progress can be made towards democracy and the rule of law in the Middle East.
