Chicago is home to one of the largest, most politically active Palestinian immigrant communities in the United States. For decades, secular nationalism held sway as the dominant political ideology, but since the 1990s its structures have weakened and Islamic institutions have gained strength. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interview data, Palestinian Chicago charts the origins of these changes and the multiple effects they have had on identity across religious, political, class, gender, and generational lines. The perspectives that emerge through this rich ethnography challenge prevailing understandings of secularity and religion, offering critical insight into current debates about immigration and national belonging.Palestinian AmericansSocial conditionsPalestinian ArabsIllinoisChicagoHistory20th centuryPalestinian ArabsIllinoisChicagoHistory21st centuryHISTORY / United States / State & Local / Generalbisacsh1990s.academic.american cities.american history.american immigrants.chicago.classism.fieldwork.gender roles.generational.government.immigrant communities.immigrant population.immigrant story.interviews.islam.islamic.nationalism.nationalist.palestine.palestinian immigrant.political.politics.religion.religious persecution.religious studies.scholarly.secular.social class.us history.Palestinian AmericansSocial conditions.Palestinian ArabsHistoryPalestinian ArabsHistoryHISTORY / United States / State & Local / General.305.892/74077311Lybarger Loren D., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut988285DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910416121803321Palestinian Chicago2259947UNINA
