Biography of Philip M. Kayal

Professor Kayal received his B.A. at Fordham University,1965; M.A. at Fordham University,1966; and Ph.D. at Fordham University, 1970. He has done extensive research on the of AIDS volunteerism and activism. His book, Bearing Witness: Gay Men's Health Crisis and the Politics of AIDS (Westview Press, 1993) examined the voluntary formation of the largest most successful AIDS service organization in the world. His other major research and publication area is on Arab-Americans. He co-curated the exhibit Arab- New York at the Museum of the City of New York and co-edited (with Kathleen Benson) A Community of Many Worlds: in (Museum of the City of New York and Syracuse University Press, 2002). In a related, but different vein, he recently published, with his cousin, Virginia Gerbino, A Taste of Syria (Hippocrene Press, 2002). He is also the director of the interdisciplinary Social and Behavioral program at Seton Hall University.

History of the Syrian-Lebanese Community

Beginning after the Civil War, emigration from the Middle East was mostly Syrian Christian, a substantial number of whom were from Mount Lebanon. The community was called Syrian-Lebanese. Despite sharing history, , and organizations, these two were distinct and independent of one another. While socially intertwined the Lebanese began to develop their own "nationalistic" organizations. At the beginning, however, these immigrants were all called , if not Turks. The development of a Maronite/Lebanese identity among Syrians was a later occurrence. More recent emigrants from Lebanon

- Page 5 - Guide to the Philip M. Kayal and Adele L. Younis Papers CMS.090 are unfamiliar with the socio-poitics of the American Lebanese community and are not as caught up with the "religious identity" question characteristics of their American counterparts. Changes in the political, demographic, and geographic organization of the Middle East meant that there are hundreds of thousands of who derive their identities from other Arab ethnic groups. The term Arab is the preferred titled for all these newer American populations and widely used by Kayal in his later research. However, the collection emphasizes the early immigrants and their communities from Syria rather than the emigration from Palestine, , , and Lebanon.

Scope and Contents note

This collection contains all the materials Philip M. Kayal used and acquired in his years of research on the Arab-American popular and the Syrian-American community in particular. His interest in the experience of Syrian Catholics, or Melkites, dominates the collection. The collection also contains many materials on , Muslim Arab Americans, and other Middle Eastern ethnic groups. Kayal's materials include ephemera collected by Kayal from Arab American and Syrian American communities, including newsletters, organizational publications, program bulletins, and other materials that he used for his writings and research. In addition to the materials donated by Kayal, the collection also includes the original research of Adele L. Younis. It includes a manuscript written by Elias of Mosul, an Iraqi Chaldean priest who toured the New World before the founding of the United States, translated into English. Her original research notes and documentation for her book, The Coming of the Arabic Speaking People to the United States, is also included in the collection. The scope and variety of materials in the collection is broad. Some materials included are unpublished manuscripts, others are readily accessible articles in journals and books, and some are from more difficult to locate sources. It also includes manuscripts, dissertations, newspaper clippings and even a film on the "" in America, produced by Mobil in the 1960s and documents the emigration and contains interviews with famous various Arab-Americans.

Scope and Contents note

Often, many organizations, such as the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, or individuals publish brief articles as booklets. Their content is issue specific. Some are academic papers and others are guides. The range is rather broad and each entry should be checked for content, etc. The booklets are not easily attainable. Hence, their placement in the Archives should be very helpful to researchers.

This was the first venture of Melkites outside the ethnic community. Its establishment and the debates around the nature and future of the Melkite Church in North America are very enlightening and make up the bulk of this section.

Series II: Adele L. Younis Papers

Scope and Contents note

Adele Younis is considered the dean of Arab-American scholarship, matching in erudition and dedication the great , Philip K. Hitti of .

Younis began preparing a manuscript surveying the history of Arab Americans in the 1960s but did not complete it. She died in 1990, having willed her papers to the Center for Migration Studies, which used them first to complete her manuscript, publishing The Coming of the Arab-Speaking People in the United States in 1993. At that point Philip Kayal arranged the papers for this collection.

Adele Younis had many lives as both a scholar, , teacher, and writer. Her collection includes all her original research notes used in the book, her dissertation, short stories she has written, papers presented at conferences, and a collection of articles and papers which she either wrote or acquired from others. Among her documentation are the papers of the "Syrian naturalization" issue and her news clips of Syrian-Americans in the military. Also included is the 300 year old survey of the travels of Elias of Mosul to the New World. He was a Chaldean priest from Iraq who toured the Americas in the 1600's, documenting his encounters with Indians and Spaniards as he travelled. This is an incredible historical document not easily available or accessible to scholars till now.

Subseries A: Articles (Manuscripts/Lectures)

Scope and Contents note

In her research, Adele collected many articles and attended many lectures where papers were delivered. She also collected papers and news articles from now defunct newspapers. The most significant paper in this section is that of Elias of Mosul, the first Iraqi Chaldean to explore the Americas.
