| Summary | "The Revolt in Arabia" by C. Snouck Hurgronje is a historical account written during the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. The book offers a detailed examination of the political and social dynamics surrounding the Arab Revolt against Turkish dominion, particularly focusing on the Shereefate of Mecca and its significance in the broader context of Islamic governance. It reflects on the complexities of the Arabian Peninsula's political landscape during a time of upheaval and change. The content of the book delves into the historical background of the Shereefate of Mecca, discussing its origins and the complexities of its relationships with various powers, including the Ottoman Empire and emerging nationalist movements. Hurgronje elucidates the significance of Mecca and Medina as religious centers, while also examining the challenges faced by local leaders such as Shereef Husein amidst the socio-political chaos of the early 20th century. It details the factors leading to Husein declaring an uprising against Turkish rule, driven by a quest for autonomy and the desire to reclaim Islamic authority, intertwined with issues of loyalty, law, and political identity within the Muslim world.
