| Summary: | This collection of seven chapters (plus a helpful introduction) makes one point very clear: there was no singular, monolithic response to Nazism and the Holocaust by Arab and Turkish leaders and intellectuals in the 1930s and 1940s. These neither embraced unreservedly the various antisemitic policies and attitudes promoted by Hitler’s Germany, Mussolini’s Italy, and Franco’s Spain, nor acquiesced in a game of European nations vying for advantage in the Middle East. Instead, Middle Eastern intellectuals and leaders actively and independently read and interpreted events unfolding in Europe in order to determine their potential impact on their own yearnings for national self-determination. |
