and political reforms they stressed the desire for autonomy
and eventual separation from the Ottoman Empire. ° It is

the West than the rest of the population. As recipients of
modern Western culture, the Arab Christian intellectuals did

not feel "at home" under traditional Ottoman rule.
they stressed the nationalist bond as the most fundamental
factor in building up a modern state.
The seeds of nationalism that were sown earlier by
the literary clubs accomplished a considerable amount of
growth by the turn of the century: From an idealistic
movement confined to a small elite of intellectuals
nationalism evolved into a liberal movement joined by an
increasing number of people. However, this should not
lead us to imagine that the nationalist movement came to
include the largest segment of the population or that its
thought held sway amongst them.
In spite of the evolution of the nationalist
movement, the tenents and traditions of Islam continued to
shape the political and intellectual life of this period.
