The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture AN ANALYSIS OF A MIDDLE EASTERN ENCLAVE: LITTLE EGYPT A Thesis in Architecture by Dina Mahmoud © 2015 Dina Mahmoud Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Architecture May 2015 The thesis of Dina Mahmoud was reviewed and approved* by the following: Alexandra Staub Associate Professor of Architecture Thesis Adviser Nida Rehman Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture Ed Coulson Professor of Business Economics Mehrdad Hadighi Professor of Architecture Head of the Department of Architecture *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This study explores a Middle Eastern enclave of New York City, known as Little Egypt. It examines the ethnic characteristics and social behaviors found within this Arab enclave. Components of the research include physical characteristics of the place, such as Arabic signage, hookah displays found in storefronts, and culturally inspired street events. Additionally, the study explores the implications and use of culture to define an enclave. I examined cultural events that are either politically, socially, or religiously relevant as ways in which the member of the enclave used them to create a territory of their own. I also assessed aspects through theories developed by urban theorists and economists, such as Jane Jacobs’s concept of the effectiveness of small fragmented businesses, Michael Porter’s definition of clusters and Alejandro Portes’s enclave economic theory. These theoretical models are the backdrop of the study and are tested in Little Egypt as a way to analyze the vitality of the enclave.

Middle Eastern Cuisine
MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.

KITCHEN HISTORIES in MODERN NORTH AFRICA a Dissertation
KITCHEN HISTORIES IN MODERN NORTH AFRICA A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arabic and Islamic Studies By Ann M. Gaul, M.A. Washington, DC May 6, 2019 Copyright 2019 by Ann M. Gaul All Rights Reserved ii KITCHEN HISTORIES IN MODERN NORTH AFRICA Ann M. Gaul, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Elliott Colla, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation is a comparative study of modern Egypt and Morocco from the turn of the twentieth century through the 1970s, narrated through the lens of the urban middle-class kitchen. Scholars of the region have paid increasing attention to domestic spaces and the politics of gender in the formation of national identity, but with a tendency to focus on written sources, nationalist movements, and formal concepts. I suggest that the notions of modern home and family that underpinned nationalist politics and cultures in Egypt and Morocco cannot be fully understood without an exploration of the kitchen as both a conceptual and material space. By tracing the histories of cooking stoves and cookware, cookbooks, and foods associated with “national cuisines,” I use the kitchen to tell a narrative that grounds abstract processes in everyday material, affective, and sensory contexts. I show how the home kitchen was crucial to the formation of modern national cultures as well as the figure of the middle-class housewife as a new kind of worker, and the concept of domestic happiness. The dissertation uses literary analysis, archival data, and ethnography to explore relationships between dominant discourses and quotidian experiences.

CLASSIC PALESTINIAN CUISINE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Christiane Dabdoub Nasser | 208 pages | 24 Jul 2013 | SAQI BOOKS | 9780863568442 | English | London, United Kingdom Classic Palestinian Cuisine PDF Book Sayadiah , a golden fish and rice dish, with fragrant spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and coriander. A journalist traveling in Palestine and living in the West Bank looks at the plight of the Palestinian people and the comments on the current state of Jewish-Arab relations in the region. It consists of a roasted chicken over taboon bread that has been topped with pieces of fried sweet onions, sumac, allspice and pine nuts. Battir is the antithesis of industrial farming, because its crops evolved according to real conditions: topography, microclimate, water, and most importantly for Sansour, people. Kassis is working on her second book, about modern Arabic cooking, and found examining the past — how recipes evolved in Palestine and the surrounding regions — crucial to giving shape to the notion of a people and its food. Masgoof is made with fire grilled "shabbout" fish unique to the Tigris River, served with lemon slices. Before we know it, a tray laden with fresh-looking starters arrives, carrying more than what we ordered, testament to Palestinian generosity and hospitality. Ramadan is the only period during which the restaurant is primarily visited by Egyptians, who come in large numbers to break-fast there with Palestinian food. A dish native to the Gaza area is sumaghiyyeh , consisting of water-soaked ground sumac mixed with tahina. I know now not to let anyone interpret for me what it means to be Palestinian.
