Islam and Arab Nationalism In the First World War
The period 1916-1920 is the pre-Mandate moment of reconfiguring and imaging Arab sovereignty. What type of political system would rule the British-occupied, post-Ottoman Syrian and Iraqi territories? This paper argues that race and religion was united in a unique monarchical vision in the Arabic official journals of the Hashemite monarchies in Mecca and Damascus between 1916 and 1921. These brief Hashemite polities and their propaganda fitted in what I call “the monarchical order” in the Euro-Asian world: the making of new states in monarchical form which European imperial governments preferred as part of their system of sovereignty management. Following the local discourse about Arab monarchies through the ideas of their main propagandist in the period, Muhibb al-Din al-Khatib (1885-1969), the paper contributes to discussions of layered sovereignty in modern empires.
