Suriye Arap Milliyetçiliğinde Vatan ve Suriyelilik (1919–1939)

Bu makale, Suriye-Arap milliyetçi ideolojisinin yapı taşlarının ve Suriye-vatanı tahayyülünün şekillenmesinde, Arap milliyetçi elitleri ve Suriye toplumunun farklı kesimleri ile Fransız manda idaresi (1921- 1946) arasındaki ideolojik ve siyasi iktidar mücadelesinin kurucu rolünü anlatmaya çalışmaktadır. Fransız sömürge idaresi altında yapılan kitlesel siyaset vatan, din, cemaat, araplık gibi kavramların milliyetçi bir şekilde içeriklendirilmesindeki en önemli alanlardan birini oluşturmaktadır. Aşağıdaki makale bu iddiayı 1936 yılında Fransa ile Suriye arasında imzalanan ve Suriye’ye beş sene içinde bağımsızlık vaadeden antlaşma ertesinde ortaya çıkan “ayrılıkçı/bölgesel” ayaklanmalar bağlamında tartışmaktadır. Fransız dışişleri ve istihbarat raporları, Dominiken misyonerlerinin raporları, manda dönemi Şam ve Beyrut basını makalede kullanılan birinci el malzemeyi oluşturmaktadır.

The Motherland and Being a Syrian in Arab Nationalism of Syria

This article attempts to discuss the constitutive role of the political and ideological struggles between the French mandatory authorities and the various Syrian-Arab nationalists in the formation of the main components of Syrian-Arab nationalism and the notion of Syrian land, in particular. Mass politics during the French mandate (1921- 1946) played a significant role in the ways in which the concepts like land, religion, community and Arabness were negotiated and redefined within a nationalist content. Below article will examine the violent process of rivalry and contest on the basics of Syrian Arab nationalist ideology within the political repercussions of the Franco-Syrian treaty (1936) which promised independence to Syria in the coming five years. French Foreign Ministry and Intelligence Service reports, Dominican Missionary reports, Damascene and Beirut press during the French mandate form the first hand material utilized in the article.
