Arab-American Faces and Voices
Author: Elizabeth Boosahda
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292783132
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
As Arab Americans seek to claim their communal identity and rightful place in American society at a time of heightened tension between the United States and the Middle East, an understanding look back at more than one hundred years of the Arab-American community is especially timely. In this book, Elizabeth Boosahda, a third-generation Arab American, draws on over two hundred personal interviews, as well as photographs and historical documents that are contemporaneous with the first generation of Arab Americans (Syrians, Lebanese, Palestinians), both Christians and Muslims, who immigrated to the Americas between 1880 and 1915, and their descendants. Boosahda focuses on the Arab-American community in Worcester, Massachusetts, a major northeastern center for Arab immigration, and Worcester's links to and similarities with Arab-American communities throughout North and South America. Using the voices of Arab immigrants and their families, she explores their entire experience, from emigration at the turn of the twentieth century to the present-day lives of their descendants. This rich documentation sheds light on many aspects of Arab-American life, including the Arab entrepreneurial motivation and success, family life, education, religious and community organizations, and the role of women in initiating immigration and the economic success they achieved.

Seeing Arabs Through an American School
Author: Robert F. Ober Jr.
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 146283549X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
The author encountered the Arab worlds full complexity while heading the largest American independent school abroad, International College, Beirut, Lebanon. The College serves 3500 Arab students, preschool through high school. Its nonsectarian program accommodates Muslim, Druze and Christian families. The author worked to strengthen the schools American attributes in an atmosphere beclouded by Israeli air attacks, Hezbollahs resistance, Syrias occupation, and allegations of CIA involvement. Indigenous ways of management that had become entrenched during wartime as well as board governance from afar added complications. Despite everything, the school is a model that deserves replication elsewhere in the Middle East, especially after September 11. A reviewer in Connecticut observes: "As our national attention focuses more and more closely on that deeply troubled region, Mr. Obers experiences as president of a large private school take on increased relevance. Collectively, his descriptions develop a complete picture of an ancient and proud culture that is only glimpsed in other parts of the world amid dramatic news copy and images of violence" (Litchfield County Times, November 21, 2003).
