Civil and Uncivil Violence in Lebanon
Protestant images of Islam
The paper explores the impact of two largely overlooked factors which sustained and reconfirmed the disparaging images American Protestants harboured towards Islam, particularly those which prefigured and informed the perceptions New England missionaries carried over with them in their efforts to evangelize the Orient and the Levant. First, America's encounter with the Barbary States of North Africa at the turn of the nineteenth century, are cons…
Recovering Beirut
Recovering Beirut, the result of a workshop organised by the Center for International Studies at MIT on urban planning and socio-economic reconstruction in post-war Lebanon, brings together established professors, young scholars, architects, town planners and entrepreneurs to explore the problems of and prospects for urban planning and to consider visions and strategies for the reconstruction of Lebanon after sixteen years of civil war.

The Arab World
Islamic Values in the United States
Lebanon's Predicament
Persistence and Change in 19th Century Lebanon
On the demoralization of public life in Lebanon
Social Change in a Hostile Environment
Family Associations in Lebanon
The structural and organizational features of all 477 registered family associations in Lebanon, their underlying functions, pattern and trend are surveyed in an effort to examine how a kinship culture reacts to the disruptive forces associated with the decline in kinship. The central argument of the paper supplements the hypothesis that extended family relations need not be inconsistent with urban and industrial societies. It is suggested that e…
Primordial ties and politics in Lebanon
indigenous and foreign alike - the political system in Lebanon stands as a curious but happy phenomenon. A pluralistic confessional society, it enjoys a parliamentary system of government with a freely elected Chamber of Deputies. Outwardly the country appears to be bolstered by liberal and democratic traditions, yet Lebanon hardly possesses any of the political instruments of a civil polity. A National Pact, a sort of Christian-Moslem entente, s…
Correlates of prostitution
Unlike, perhaps, other social problems, prostitution has always been subject to some crude errors and popular misconceptions. It is rather ironical that our knowledge of the nature and character of one of the world's oldest professions is either based on hearsay or still reflects some moral and normative overtones. This is especially true of traditional societies, where prostitution is either taboo or conceived in terms of sexual perversions and …
Prostitution in a Changing Society
Family Firms and Industrial Development
The Growing Pains of Arab Intellectuals
As a social group intellectuals everywhere are almost always gripped by certain tensions and uncertainties. Some of these tensions are inherent in the universal role of intellectuals as creators and carriers of culture; others reflect the particular socio-economic and political milieu in which they live. Although, for instance, the American intellectual has been enjoying more power and status in society, he still must "avoid the twin temptations …
Prostitution in a Changing Society
Industrial Conflict in Lebanon
Insofar as one accepts the proposition that discontent is a normal condition of mankind, then industrial conflict, or the inherent instability of labor-management relations, becomes an inevitable and continuous phenomenon in most changing societies This is more the case in a newly developing society where the disruptive forces of economic and rapid social change may widen further the gap between the haves and the have-nots, and where discontent e…
