| Résumé : | The Shaping of the Arabs by Joël Carmichael offers a historical interpretation of the Arab people, emphasizing the ambiguity of the term "Arab." Carmichael explains that Islam does not prioritize distinctions of race or nationality, and the Arabic-speaking peoples trace their origins to the nomadic tribes of Arabia. These tribes, distinguished by their mastery of the camel, evolved into a people united by language and later shaped by Islam. The spread of Islam transformed the Arabic dialect into a world language, uniting vast regions from the Middle East to Spain. However, the rise of the Islamic Caliphate marginalized the Arabs themselves. In modern times, Arab countries have sought unity based on shared language, though challenges remain. The author also delves into the life of Muhammad and the creation of the Quran. |
