Tarajim), Manaqib, Tabaqat and Maghazi as they were understood in antiquity. I also showed how the meaning of Sirah in modem times has only narrowly developed. Although the method of biographical writing continuously developed in Europe, it hardly progressed in Modem Arabic Literature. The only exception was seen in the writings by the pioneers of enlightenment in Egypt at the beginning of the twentieth century. This change of direction relied on borrowing European methodology in biographical writing. In chapter two, I reviewed the early attempts at writing biographies in the nineteenth e. 4 M. century by Abd al-Rahm7an.al. -Jabarti and AlT Mub7arak.Although both were the first pioneers in this respect, yet they followed the footpath of classical approach above all -C that of al-Maqn'-zi' from whom Aff Mub&ak derived inspiration in his book Al-Khitat al-Tawfiqiyyah. In chapter three, I studied the twentieth century, starting with traditional biography writers who could not employ European methodologies and whose writings oscillated between biographical notes and biographical sketches; or whose texts were more of a literary study than a biography proper. In chaptersfour to nine, I selectedthe most renowned,productive writers who best represented methodologies of biography writing. Perhaps certain NAI-ritershave not been mentioned in this period of study. This is not out of negligence but simply becausetheir texts were totally out of reach, or their writings did not exhibit the required literary criteria. 4 All methodologiesrepresenting the theory of biography Nwiting in Ec-Typthave been analysed in these chapters.All, in fact, form a digestion or assimilation of French. English and German schools.In Egypt, Taha Husayn is consideredthe chairman of the French school, al-M`azini and al-ýAqqad of the English/German schools, al- Nuwaihi of the psychoanalytical/anatomical school and Sidqi who employed both. By contrast,al Iryan was the trailblazer of the distinguishedbiographical novel In these chapters, I tried to lay out the general outlines these writers have produced in the production of biographical texts, and how these attempts were a successful step on the road of presenting literary biographies characterized by high world standards. Chapter ten may well seem traditional, but it is important to give a comparative outlook on the views of biography writers themselves when they study and analyse the samecharacter. Among the Bashsliar, Abu Nuw5s, Ibn characters studied ,I selected al-Rurn-i, al- MutanablTiand al-Mlarril. These are outstanding landmarks in the history of Arab verse and the subject of a multitude of studies as well. Modern biographers took these figures as a test field for the deployment and employment of biographical methodologies. I selected these examples to provide comparisons and explain how far these biographies were successful in producing a biography or a profile of those classicalpoets. The conclusionand the bibliographical list arrived at the end of research. I wish, however, to clarify one important point here. It seemsthat I could not fix the year 1950 as the temporal parameterof my researchbut took sometextswhich were published shortly beyondthat point. The reasonfor this obvious extensionwas either 5 to give additional useful details or simply becausechapters of such texts had already beenpublished prior to that year and were known to the readership. At times I would satisfy myself with analysing the part rather than the ý,vhole. This again was meant to eschewrepetition or was due to the fact that the book in question was not available. 6 CONTENTS Chapter I Introduction a.

Biographical Works in Egypt 12 Modern Arabic biography writing has its roots in two different sources.The first is the developedEuropean biography which Arab writers had come acrossduring their encounterwith Westerncivilization in the twentieth century.The secondsource is the classical, embryonic, raw forms of Arabic biography. This dual origin contributedto the developmentof a mode of biography writing. This chapterexplains the classical lineageof the blend. In its earliest prototypes, biography emerged at certain points in the development of civilizations. It stemmed out of spiritual (religious) or mundane needs, or out of both. In its simplest form, it was a record of the deedsof sublime figures, the two major classesof the time, statesmenand warriors. Obviously, it was a method of venerating or worshipping the past and instructing the living.

  • I Did Not Know the Levant in Its Heyday, I Arrived Too Late, All That
    1 I did not know the Levant in its heyday, I arrived too late, all that was left of the spectacle was a tattered backcloth, all that remained of the banquet were a few crumbs. But I always hoped that one day the party might start up again, I did not want to believe that fate had seen me born into a house already condemned to demolition. My people have built many houses, from Anatolia to Mount Lebanon, to coastal cities and the valley of the Nile, only to abandon them, one after another. I feel a nostalgia for them, unsurprisingly, and also a little stoic resignation when confronted by the vanity of things. Never become attached to something you might miss when the day comes that you must leave! It was in Beirut that I was born, on February 25, 1949. The news was announced the following day, as was once cus- tomary, via a paragraph in the newspaper where my father worked: Mother and child are both doing well. The country and the region, on the other hand, were doing badly. Few realized it at the time, but the descent into hell had already begun. Egypt, the adoptive country of my mother’s family, was in turmoil. On February 12, two weeks before my birth, Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, had been assassinated. He had gone to meet with one of his political allies; as he left the building, a car drew up and a gunman fired. Although shot in the chest, he did not collapse and the wound did not seem serious.

  • 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.
