Based on over eighty interviews with first-generation Lebanese immigrants in the global cities of New York, Montreal and Paris, this book shows that the Lebanese diaspora – like all diasporas – constructs global relations connecting and transforming their new societies, previous homeland and world-wide communities. Taking Lebanese immigrants’ forms of identification, community attachments and cultural expression as manifestations of diaspora experiences, Dalia Abdelhady delves into the ways members of Lebanese diasporic communities move beyond nationality, ethnicity and religion, giving rise to global solidarities and negotiating their social and cultural spaces. The Lebanese Diaspora explores new forms of identities, alliances and cultural expressions, elucidating the daily experiences of Lebanese immigrants and exploring new ways of thinking about immigration, ethnic identity, community, and culture in a global world. By criticizing and challenging our understandings of nationality, ethnicity and assimilation, Abdelhady shows that global immigrants are giving rise to new forms of cosmopolitan citizenship. 2024-04-03T10:11:18Z 2024-04-03T10:11:18Z 2011 book ONIX_20240403_9780814705452_134 9780814705452 9780814707333 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/89416 eng application/pdf application/epub+zip Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International 9780814705452_WEB.pdf 9780814705452_EPUB.epub New York University Press NYU Press 10.18574/nyu/9780814707333.001.0001 10.18574/nyu/9780814707333.001.0001 7d95336a-0494-42b2-ad9c-8456b2e29ddc 9780814705452 9780814707333 NYU Press New York open access
