Download or read book British Diplomacy in Turkey written by G. R. Berridge and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early twentieth century the resident embassy has been supposed to be living on borrowed time. By means of an exhaustive historical account of the contribution of the British Embassy in Turkey to Britain s diplomatic relationship with that state, this book shows this to be false. Part A analyses the evolution of the embassy as a working unit up to the First World War: the buildings, diplomats, dragomans, consular network, and communications. Part B examines how, without any radical changes except in its communications, it successfully met the heavy demands made on it in the following century, for example by playing a key role in a multitude of bilateral negotiations and providing cover to secret agents and drugs liaison officers.

Download or read book The Making of Arab Americans written by Hani J. Bawardi and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While conventional wisdom points to the Arab-Israeli War of 1967 as the gateway for the founding of the first Arab American national political organization, such advocacy in fact began with the Syrian nationalist movement, which emerged from immigration trends at the turn of the last century. Bringing this long-neglected history to life, The Making of Arab Americans overturns the notion of an Arab population that was too diverse to share common goals. Tracing the forgotten histories of the Free Syria Society, the New Syria Party, the Arab National League, and the Institute of Arab American Affairs, the book restores a timely aspect of our understanding of an area (then called Syria) that comprises modern-day Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine. Hani Bawardi examines the numerous Arab American political advocacy organizations that thrived before World War I, showing how they influenced Syrian and Arab nationalism. He further offers an in-depth analysis exploring how World War II helped introduce a new Arab American identity as priorities shifted and the quest for assimilation intensified. In addition, the book enriches our understanding of the years leading to the Cold War by tracing both the Arab National League's transition to the Institute of Arab American Affairs and new campaigns to enhance mutual understanding between the United States and the Middle East. Illustrated with a wealth of previously unpublished photographs and manuscripts, The Making of Arab Americans provides crucial insight for contemporary dialogues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich history and culture of the Arab American people is found in the passionate works of its artists. Whether they be traditional media such as painting and calligraphy, or more sophisticated media such as digital work and installation, the pieces represent the beauty of heritage, the struggles of growing up in war-torn countries, the identity conflicts of female artists in male-dominated societies, and the issues surrounding migration to a Western culture very different from one's own. Many of the artists included here, though their works appear in museums and galleries throughout the world, have never before been featured in a reference book. Interviews conducted by the author provide a personal look into the experiences and creative processes of these artists. Artists included: *Etel Adnan *Wasma Chorbachi *Nihad Dukhan *Kahlil Gibran *Sari Khoury *Emily Jacir *Sari Khoury *Mamoun Sakkal *Mary Tuma *Madiha Umar *Afaf Zurayk
Download or read book Dam Foolishness written by Raff Ellis and published by Cune Press, Us. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in Dam Foolishness are based on the author's life experiences that began in the small village of Carthage, New York, tucked away in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. Carthage lays no claim to uniqueness or any remarkable attributes that would distinguish it from thousands of such hamlets all across America. The author's reminiscences, which led him to pen the short stories contained in Dam Foolishness, were prompted by the memories nearly all of us have as we grow older and ponder our past lives. Anyone who has lived in small town America will likely recognise, or recall, many of the characters written about in this book. As they peruse these well-written tales, readers will also be prompted to take their own journeys into the past and remember the quaintness their own hometowns and the people that populated them.
