Summary: | Concerned with mobilizing its populace for a summer swing to socialism in 1961, the governemtn of the U.A.R. was pressed to resolve its conflicts with the intellectuals and then to suggest ways to minimize them within the context of the country's developing pains. Although his efforts appear appropriate for wooing the technical intelligentsia and the general public to the socialist schemes, casualties of his discussion are a complete and profound interpretation of intellectuals in crisis and therefore the self-defined "true" intellectual. Haykal's remarks have been evaluated against a background of developments in the U.A.R. especially before and after 1961. |
