Beginning in the 7th century, when Islam began to spread from the Arabian peninsula to the West, and working through to the modern day, this study effectively documents the history of Arab peoples and their relationship to the major turning points in world history. The expansion of Islamic monotheism to countries as widespread as Egypt, Syria, and Morocco is described, as is the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire, the expansion of European commerce during the 19th century, the surge of nationalism and statehood in the 20th century, the transformation of the Arab culture by modern influences, and the reaffirmation of the Islamic identity in recent decades.

La Historia de Los arabes,
This review is from: La historia de los Arabes (Biografia Historica) (Paperback)
Resumen
A partir el siglo VII, cuando la nueva religión del islam empezaba a propagarse desde la península arábiga hacia Occidente, hasta el presente, Albert Hourani despliega con eficacia y con una amplia documentación la historia de los pueblos árabes, así como su relación con los grandes temas de la historia mundial. Hourani describe la expansión del monoteísmo y del idioma árabe, hablado en países tan diferentes como Egipto, Siria o Marruecos, y cuya impronta ha quedado profundamente grabada en la lengua española, así como la creación del poderoso Imperio otomano y su desintegración, la expansión del comercio europeo durante el siglo XIX, el surgimiento de los nacionalismos y los Estados-nación.
