Who Writes Arab History?

By: Joseph A. Kéchichian

At a time of profound regional and international transformations that extend beyond the political, Middle Easterners in general and Arabs in particular ponder their future, as well as how to best preserve and protect their interests and, equally important, their cultures. As non-Arabs interpret and opine about Arab civilization far more than indigenous thinkers, how can we understand what motivates scholars and opinion-makers, and how can Arab analysts highlight indigenous perspectives? What are the core factors that separate non-Arab scholars from their Arab counterparts? Can the perceptions of nearly 500 million individuals be mislabeled so frequently and so easily, and what ought to be done to repair the damage already done? Do Arab thinkers bear any responsibility for what may appear to be little more than a campaign to denigrate? To answer these questions, this paper first offers an overview of the dilemmas involved, then identifies and analyses two major concerns—censorship and translation matters—and finally focuses on the case of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to test the assertion that books authored by non-Arabs, many of whom shroud themselves in the cloak of authority but, in reality, harbor a sharp dislike, if not outright hatred, of Arabs, dominate over works written by Arabs. The paper closes with a few recommendations that call on Arab thinkers to overcome existing academic as well as journalistic prejudices.

Politics and Palestinian Literature in Exile

Gender, Aesthetics and Resistance in the Short Story

By: Joseph Farag,Joseph R. Farag

Despite, or even because of their tumultuous history, Palestinians are renowned for being prolific cultural producers, creating many of the Arab world's most iconic works of literature. In particular, the Palestinian short story stands out for its unique interplay between literary texts and the political and historical contexts from which they emerge. Palestinian Literature in Exile is the first English language study to explore this unique genre. Joseph Farag employs an interdisciplinary approach to examine the political function of literary texts and the manner in which cultural production responds to crucial moments in Palestinian history. Drawing from the works of Samira Azzam, Ghassan Kanafani and Ibrahim Nasrallah, Farag traces developments in the short story as they relate to the pivotal events of what the Palestinians call the Nakba ('catastrophe'), Naksa ('defeat') and First Intifada ('uprising'). In analysing several as yet un-translated works, Farag makes an original contribution to the subject of exilic identity and subjectivity in Palestinian literature. This book offers the opportunity to engage with literary works as well to learn from a literary account of history.It is a subject of interest for students and scholars of both Arabic literature and Middle East studies.

Year of the Sword

The Assyrian Christian Genocide, A History

By: Joseph Yacoub

The Armenian genocide of 1915 has been well documented. Much less known is the Turkish genocide of the Assyrian, Chaldean and Syriac peoples, which occurred simultaneously in their ancient homelands in and around ancient Mesopotamia - now Turkey, Iran and Iraq. The advent of the First World War gave the Young Turks and the Ottoman government the opportunity to exterminate the Assyrians in a series of massacres and atrocities inflicted on a people whose culture dates back millennia and whose language, Aramaic, was spoken by Jesus. Systematic killings, looting, rape, kidnapping and deportations destroyed countless communities and created a vast refugee diaspora. As many as 300,000 Assyro-Chaldean- Syriac people were murdered and a larger number forced into exile. The "Year of the Sword" (Seyfo) in 1915 was preceded over millennia by other attacks on the Assyrians and has been mirrored by recent events, not least the abuses committed by Islamic State. Joseph Yacoub, whose family was murdered and dispersed, has gathered together a compelling range of eye-witness accounts and reports which cast light on this 'hidden genocide.' Passionate and yet authoritative in its research, his book reveals a little-known human and cultural tragedy. A century after the Assyrian genocide, the fate of this Christian minority hangs in the balance.

From Village to Presidential Suite

By: Joseph Jabbra

I did not intend to write a scholarly book, for I did not want to intellectualize my life. Nor did I wish to romanticize it. I wanted to describe it as I lived it, with emphasis on people. I wanted to express in this book the joy I experienced in giving generously of myself, my time, and my modest material possessions, to make others happy and to share the many gifts of life. I wanted also to share with those who aspire to become academic leaders the myriad lessons my upbringing, education, and professional life have taught me. I thought they might find these lessons learned useful, as they strive for successful careers and, more importantly, for rewarding personal and professional lives. Again, this book is a story, the story of my life, wherein the personal and the professional have intermingled and strengthened each other, making a better whole of my person, personality, aspirations, and talents. This unique alliance between the professional and the personal dimensions of my life, I am happy to say, always triumphed and accounted for the successes that so many good people helped me achieve. Without the guidance, advice, cooperation, and support of others, I am sure my life would not have been as fulfilling. Dr. Jabbra did govern this impossible republic, delivering transformative change to LAU in the process.” “Dr. Jabbra restored our mission.” Philip Stoltzfus, Chairman, LAU Board of Trustees “How does one know one has lived a full life? This is a question that preoccupies all of us at one time or another, but at a simple level we can say, “through the evidence of our actions and our relationships with others.” The pages of this memoir bear witness to Dr. Jabbra’s achievements, from his successful terms as Provost at St. Mary’s and Loyola Marymount, to his crowning moment as President of LAU. But much of the magic of this book lies in its descriptions of his friendships and interactions throughout his life, from the early days in his family village of al-Firzul to his school experiences at Harissa and St. Joseph, and the eventual passage to the United States, armed with Arabic, French, Latin and Greek, but no English. Then on to his life in America and Canada, and the rich relationships he formed with so many in that extraordinary phenomenon that is the Lebanese diaspora. After seeing an early draft of this memoir, I urged Dr. Jabbra to relate the day-to-day experiences he had in running LAU in the semichaotic atmosphere that prevails even in the best of times in Lebanon. I knew how vivid some of these moments were, having shared many with him, and he has captured that time beautifully, although I wish he had included a particularly hairy moment he and I once had, from which we were fortunate to emerge unscathed.” Philip Stoltzfus, Chairman, LAU Board of Trustees September 2021 My tamed ego was my friend and not my enemy, my wise advisor but not my dictator. Forgiveness, instead of retaliation, was my motto. Integrity and the highest ethical standards defeated, hands down, my detractors at the governing boards of any institution I served. My leveling with people, working together with them, and my honesty were invincible weapons and very difficult to resist or defeat. The realization on the part of the three university families I served, in Canada, the United States, and Lebanon, that I had a unique combination of genuine caring for people and a will of steel to defend the institution I was working for against any abuse, won me the people’s respect, not their fear, their genuine affection and trust. And this is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life. My transformative tenures at SMU, LMU, and LAU were strengthened by their remarkable families. They believed in the mission of their respective universities, they pulled ranks together, and together they transformed them from ordinary colleges to major forces in higher education, and they did it with indomitable drive, exemplary grace, unique pride, and contagious passion.” Dr Joseph Jabbra, From Village to Presidential Suite: My Life’s Journey, 2022, pg 687, In Conclusions and Lessons learned, Beirut, Hachette Antoine.

L'armée libanaise pendant la guerre: un instrument du pouvoir du président de la République (1975-1985)

By: Joseph Hokayem

Nous avons choisi d'aborder le thème de l'armée libanaise entre 1975 et 1985 car c'est un sujet innovant sur lequel il reste encore beaucoup à faire. En effet, la plupart des milices qui ont participé à la guerre du Liban ont fait l'objet d'études les concernant, alors que l'armée libanaise en tant qu'acteur et enjeu dans cette guerre a été le plus souvent occultée. Nous avons choisi d'arrêter notre travail en 1985 car cette année, le retrait israélien du territoire libanais est en train de s'achever, à l'exception de la ceinture de sécurité dans la zone frontalière au Liban-Sud. Ce retrait redessine les cartes au Liban, au détriment de l'armée libanaise. Nous étudierons successivement l'enjeu que constitue l'armée, un facteur de division nationale. Puis nous étudierons l'enjeu du contrôle par l'armée du Liban-Sud et des régions Est. Enfin, nous étudierons les moyens mis en place afin de renforcer l'armée libanaise et lui permettre de contrôler la sécurité dans l'ensemble du pays.
