Patel introduces the humanist movement of the period that was the driving force behind much of the linguistic, literary, and educational activity. Drawing on intellectual history, literary history, and postcolonial studies, he argues that the \u003cem\u003enahdah\u003c\/em\u003e was the product of native development and foreign assistance and that \u003cem\u003enahdah\u003c\/em\u003e reformist thought was hybrid in nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, this study highlights the complexity of the movement and offers a more pluralist history of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934270898412,"sku":"9781399564861","price":105.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781399564861-the-arab-nahdah.jpg?v=1783909207","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-arab-nahdah-by-abdulrazzak-patel-9781399564861","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
