  • Race and Transnationalism in the First Syrian-American Community, 1890-1930
    Abstract Title of Thesis: RACE ACROSS BORDERS: RACE AND TRANSNATIONALISM IN THE FIRST SYRIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY, 1890-1930 Zeinab Emad Abrahim, Master of Arts, 2013 Thesis Directed By: Professor, Madeline Zilfi Department of History This research explores the transnational nature of the citizenship campaign amongst the first Syrian Americans, by analyzing the communication between Syrians in the United States with Syrians in the Middle East, primarily Jurji Zaydan, a Middle-Eastern anthropologist and literary figure. The goal is to demonstrate that while Syrian Americans negotiated their racial identity in the United States in order to attain the right to naturalize, they did so within a transnational framework. Placing the Syrian citizenship struggle in a larger context brings to light many issues regarding national and racial identity in both the United States and the Middle East during the turn of the twentieth century.

  • Former Ottomans in the Ranks: Pro-Entente Military Recruitment Among Syrians in the Americas, 1916–18*
    Journal of Global History (2016), 11,pp.88–112 © Cambridge University Press 2016 doi:10.1017/S1740022815000364 Former Ottomans in the ranks: pro-Entente military recruitment among Syrians in the Americas, 1916–18* Stacy D. Fahrenthold Center for Middle Eastern Studies, University of California, Berkeley, California, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract For half a million ‘Syrian’ Ottoman subjects living outside the empire, the First World War initiated a massive political rift with Istanbul. Beginning in 1916, Syrian and Lebanese emigrants from both North and South America sought to enlist, recruit, and conscript immigrant men into the militaries of the Entente. Employing press items, correspondence, and memoirs written by émigré recruiters during the war, this article reconstructs the transnational networks that facilitated the voluntary enlistment of an estimated 10,000 Syrian emigrants into the armies of the Entente, particularly the United States Army after 1917. As Ottoman nationals, many Syrian recruits used this as a practical means of obtaining American citizen- ship and shedding their legal ties to Istanbul. Émigré recruiters folded their military service into broader goals for ‘Syrian’ and ‘Lebanese’ national liberation under the auspices of American political support. Keywords First World War, Lebanon, mobilization, Syria, transnationalism Is it often said that the First World War was a time of unprecedented military mobilization. Between 1914 and 1918, empires around the world imposed powers of conscription on their

In this thesis, I question whether the authenticity of modernism derives from its temporality period or its literary content while concurrently investigating several poems by Lebanese authors Kahlil Gibran and Nadia Tuéni and Syrian poet Adonis. Additionally, I trace Arabic modernism’s influence to the early 1900s-1910s to the conception of the Mahjar movement and the Pen League, an Arabic literary society consisting of Arabic immigrant writers.

  • Schools of Qur'anic Exegesis
    Schools of Qur’anic Exegesis Qur’anic exegesis has become the battleground of political Islam and theological conflict among various Muslim schools of thought. Using comparative and con- trastive methodology, examples from the Qur’an are investigated in the light of various theological views to delineate the birth, development and growth of Qur’anic exegesis. The political status quo, in the past and at present, has impinged upon Qur’anic exegesis more than on any other discipline in Islamic studies. This book illus- trates the dichotomy between mainstream and non-mainstream Islam, showing how Qur’anic exegesis reflects the subtle dogmatic differences and political cleavages in Islamic thought. Chapters explore in depth the intrusive views of the compilers of early exegesis manuscripts, the scepticism among Western scholars about the authenticity of early Muslim works of exegesis and of prophetic tradi- tion, and the role of exegesis as a tool to reaffirm the Qur’an as a canon. Broader themes encompassed include the interpretations of exegetical terms; use of the notion of free will and pre-determinism to justify the political misfortunes of Muslim leaders and the sufferings of their people; politicization of Ramadan; and the disparity between jihad and non-jihad. Written to appeal to those with comparative exegetical interests as well as those focused on Islamic studies in general, this book will be an important refer- ence for research students, scholars and students of Islamic studies, Theology, Religious studies and Middle Eastern studies. Hussein Abdul-Raof is Senior Lecturer in Arabic and Qur’anic Studies at the University of Leeds.

Without any doubts, Mahjar writers’ works have special place in the world literature. These works are surrounded by real life, sublime love, the images of beautiful nature and sincere human feelings. The Arabic literature has passed the different period prosperity and expensive works to the exchequer of world literature. The Mahjar writers lost their original identity along with their Christendom because the Islamic victors imposed their language, culture and political influence on them. The Christians perceived themselves as Arab and the people of Gassan tribe in spite of false European propaganda. Here, they became proud of Arabic language and literature. Keywords: Meaning of Mahjar, Mahjar Literature, Development of Mahjar Literature. Introduction: In this article paper I would like to highlight the Arabic migration literature.
