Arab Cultural Renaissance
The Arab Cultural Renaissance, also known as the Nahda, was a movement that started in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It aimed to revive and modernize Arab culture, literature, arts, and education after a period of decline. Influenced by global ideas and modernization, it fostered a sense of identity, promoted intellectual growth, and encouraged new literary and artistic expressions. The Nahda helped lay the groundwork for contemporary Arab societies by blending tradition with modernity, inspiring political activism, and strengthening cultural pride across Arab countries.
