    1 Lebanese Christian nationalism: A theoretical analyses of a national movement A Masters Thesis Presented by Penelope Zogheib To the faculty of the department of Political Science at Northeastern University In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science Northeastern University Boston, MA December, 2013 2 Lebanese Christian nationalism: A theoretical analyses of a national movement by Penelope Zogheib ABSTRACT OF THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University December, 2013 3 ABSTRACT OF THESIS This thesis examines the distinctiveness of Lebanese Christian identity, and the creation of two interconnected narratives pre and during the civil war: the secular that rejects Arab nationalism and embraces the Phoenician origins of the Lebanese, and the marriage of the concepts of dying and fighting for the sacred land and faith. This study portrays the Lebanese Christian national movement as a social movement with a national agenda struggling to disseminate its conception of the identity of a country within very diverse and hostile societal settings. I concentrate on the creation process by the ethnic entrepreneurs and their construction of the self-image of the Lebanese Christian and the perception of the "other" in the Arab world. I study the rhetoric of the Christian intelligentsia through an examination of their writings and speeches before, during and after the civil war, and the evolution of that rhetoric along the periods of peace and war. I look at how the image of “us” vs.

The evidence is very limited, but it suggests that several types of burials were used at the same time, namely jar burials (with inhumed infants and small children), rock-cut tombs, pit graves, cist graves and hypogea with chambers and possible sarcophagi. The burial gifts seem to have been placed in the graves according to the sex of the deceased, as men are often buried with weapons and women are buried with domes- tic objects and jewellery. Furthermore, luxury items are placed in some of the graves, a fact which sug- gests the existence of a society with marked social differences. At Sidon we find evidence for the prac- tice of animal sacrifice, and ovens that are placed at Fig. 1: The sarcophagus of Ahiram depicting mourning women. the graves suggest a belief in the afterlife of the deceased. On the sarcophagus of Ahiram from Byblos are depictions of mourning women which could tell us how the deceased was mourned. The evidence comes mainly from Beirut, Sidon and Byblos. During the Iron Age both inhumation and cremation burials were in use.
