A Historical Overview of Lebanese-American Political Organizations (1990s and 2000s)
View through CrossRef
The chapter, based on primary sources, including interviews with activists and diaspora leaders, as well as documents from diaspora organizations, analyzes the previously unexamined history of Lebanese-American organizations in the 1990s and 2000s. It proposes specifics on Lebanese-American political identification, as distinct from Arab-American identity and organizational activity, and it discusses a number of the 15 organizations that supported and opposed the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003. The chapter also traces the activity of several organizations of US-based supporters of General Michel Aoun, other institutions such as the World Lebanese Cultural Union, and Lebanese-American organizations’ transnational links to Lebanon.
