Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis tells the story of the student movement at the American University o f Beirut with special emphasis on the Student Council. This study will highlight the events of the period between 1967 and 1974 which h ad a major impact on Lebanon in general, and on the AUB in particular. During th is period, two factors combined to energize student activism on the AUB campus i n a special way. One was 1967 War and the second was the rise of the Palestinia n Revolution. The 1971 and 1974 10 % student strike and the occupation of University building s is also covered by this study, as well as the reason and motive of both the ad ministration and the students actions during the course of these strikes. The AUB Student Council after its reestablishment has been viewed as being no mo re than a front for the Palestinian Revolution on campus, but receiving its orde rs from outside, so that its behavior invariably reflected the policy of its sup eriors. In reality, however, the Student Council?s actions, as will be demonstra ted in this thesis, were not always in agreement with the strategy of the PLO or that of its Lebanese allies. One has to keep this fact in mind to understand so me of the key events of the 1974, as will subsequently be shown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the American University of Beirut opened its doors in 1866, the campus has stood at the intersection of a rapidly changing American educational project for the Middle East and an ongoing student quest for Arab national identity and empowerment. Betty S. Anderson provides a unique and comprehensive analysis of how the school shifted from a missionary institution providing a curriculum in Arabic to one offering an English-language American liberal education extolling freedom of speech and analytical discovery. Anderson discusses how generations of students demanded that they be considered legitimate voices of authority over their own education; increasingly, these students sought to introduce into their classrooms the real-life political issues raging in the Arab world. The Darwin Affair of 1882, the introduction of coeducation in the 1920s, the Arab nationalist protests of the late 1940s and early 1950s, and the even larger protests of the 1970s all challenged the Americans and Arabs to fashion an educational program relevant to a student body constantly bombarded with political and social change. Anderson reveals that the two groups chose to develop a program that combined American goals for liberal education with an Arab student demand that the educational experience remain relevant to their lives outside the school's walls. As a result, in eras of both cooperation and conflict, the American leaders and the students at the school have made this American institution of the Arab world and of Beirut.
