The Modern History of Jordan
Few states in the modern world have had a less promising birth than Jordan. When in 1921 the Hashemite Emir Abdallah was recognized as the ruler of this romantic backwater of the former Ottoman Empire, it was sparsely populated, extremely poor, and widely regarded as ungovernable. Today against all the odds, Jordan has become one of the most prosperous and stable of Middle Eastern countries and a major player in the region's politics. In this pol…

A house of many mansions: The history of Lebanon reconsidered
Middle eastern parallels: Syria‐Iraq‐Arabia in Ottoman times
It has been customary to conceive of the history of the Arab Middle East in the Ottoman period mostly in terms of cities which were centres of imperial administration. Rural and tribal areas away from these cities were treated, for the most part, as though they did not exist. The neglected area consisted of the greater part of Syria, Iraq and Arabia: three regions whose history between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries is commonly thought to…

The Secret of the House of Ma'n
In the early 1590s an obscure chieftain of the Druze district of the Sh ûf, in the mountain hinterland of Sidon, was appointed multazim (tax farmer) of the whole Druze mountain (the Sh ûf along with the Gh arb, Jurd and Matn, in the hinterland of Beirut) by the Ottoman beylerbeyi (provincial governor) of Damascus. The name of this chieftain was Fa kh r al-Dîn ibn Qurqumâs (Turkish Korkmaz ), and he belonged to the family of the Ma'ns, who had bee…
The Lebanese Identity
The earliest evidence of a sense of Lebanese identity is to be found in the writings of some Lebanese historians of the first half of the nineteenth century. By that time the Shihabs, a Sunnite Moslem family from the southern Anti-Lebanon who had inherited the emirate over the Druzes and Christians of the southern Lebanon in 1697, and had become converted to Christianity according to the Maronite (Uniate Catholic) rite in the second half of the e…

The Banu Jama'a: A Dynasty of Shafi'ite Jurists in the Mamluk Period
The Maronites of Lebanon Under Frankish and Mamluk Rule (1099-1516)
NORTHERN Lebanon, with its predominantly Maronite population, was an outpost of militant Western Christendom in Syria during the period that elapsed between the Crusader and the Ottoman conquests. Its history, a confused medley of localized events and seemingly insignificant internal struggles, can only be understood when viewed in relation to Crusader and Western Christian policy and interests in Syria. Were it not for the Crusades the Maronites…
