The Lebanese in the World: A Century of Emigration
Edited by Albert Hourani and Nadim Shehadi
CLS/I.B. Tauris, 741 pp.
ISBN: 1850433038
Publisher: Saint Martin's Press, Incorporated
Pub. Date: January 1992
For more than a century, people have been emigrating from countries of the Mediterranean basin - Spain, Italy, Sicily, Greece and parts of the Near East - to the New World of America and Australasia. This emigration has formed an important part of the international movement of population which is one of the features of the modern world.
This book is concerned with one specific movement, that of emigrants from Lebanon who have established communities in North and South America, the Caribbean, Australia, and West Africa, and more recently in the Gulf and other parts of the Middle East.
The book is a collection of essays based on papers delivered at a conference on Lebanese Emigration organised by the Centre for Lebanese Studies in Oxford. The chapters are written by historians, economists, sociologists and political scientists, coming from various backgrounds and disciplines. They attempt to evaluate the impact of the emigrants from Lebanon on the host societies, the process of integration, their economic, political and cultural significance, as well as their home country and their contribution to its development.
The book also touches on the more recent emigration during the recent war in Lebanon, one of the pressing problems facing the country at present. Issues discussed include the effect of the war on the established immigrant communities.
This is perhaps the first comprehensive attempt to make a comparative study of the life of an immigrant community of common origin in different continents and cultures.

A survey of Lebanese immigration to the United States with a discussion of the contributions made by Lebanese to various areas of American life.
Gr 6-8 Harik's well-written, interesting text offers a unique approach to geography and history. It is unfortunate that there is no bibliography or pronunciation guide. The insufficient number of maps will also limit usefulness. The black-and-white photographs, which are occasionally fuzzy, are realistic, people-oriented, and a complement to the text. Once past the unappealing cover, middle grade students should discover a wealth of information about the history, culture, and people of Lebanon, now and in the past. This is an updated, different approach to Newman's Lebanon (Watts, 1978; o.p.). Andrea Antico, Aurora Hills Middle School, Colo.

The Lebanese Civil War of 1975
By the Lebanese-American Association
Comprehensive article summarizing the Lebanese Civil War of 1975 . Since that 16 year long war caused a major increase in Lebanese emigration, and since that war was very incomprehensible to non-Lebanese residents (as well as many Lebanese residents), we thought we refer our readers to this excellent article.
