Language, memory, and identity in the Middle East : the case for Lebanon / Franck Salameh.

• Arabism and its rivals -- Swarming memories, clashing identities : the case for Lebanon -- Lebanon's myths and legends -- Saïd Akl : the architect of the spirit of the nation -- Particularism as template -- Linguistic Lebanonism -- Toward a Lebanese alphabet, towards a new Middle East.

• Language, Memory, and Identity in the Middle East proposes a new reading of modern Middle Eastern history and suggests alternate solutions to the region's problems. The book is an attempt to rehabilitate and bring back to the fore of Middle East Studies the issue of language as a key factor in shaping (and misshaping) the region, with the hope of rediscovering a broader, more honest, and less ideologically tainted discussion on the Middle East. Language, Memory, and Identity in the Middle East has a special focus on Lebanon, a "Christian homeland," because Lebanon has traditionally acted as the region's template for change and a barometer gauging its problems and charting its progress. -- Book jacket.
