This book focuses on the development of the Phoenician-Lebanese movement that struggled against the hegemonic status of Arabic language and culture. The Phoenician-Lebanese were a predominantly Maronite Christian group who attempted to remove themselves from the Muslim and Arab world throughout the twentieth century. Their demands for self-definition as a nation and their desire to establish their own culture were rooted in the concept of their ancient Phoenician past. Basilius Bawardi examines four prominent authors who formed the basis on which all engaged so-called Phoenician literature was built: Sharl Qurm, Sa'id 'Aql, Mayy Murr and Muris 'Awwad. The literary corpus of these writers was a critical component of the political activity that strove to distinguish the native Lebanese inhabitants from their Arab-Muslim neighbours.Studying these authors' works in both a literary and historical way, Bawardi shows how language was used to promote a specific political agenda and identifies the strong connections between language, literature and nation building. As well as revealing the nationalist struggle as it emerges in prose and poetry, the book discusses the history and formation of modern day Lebanon and why language and literature are so crucial for members of a national minority."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPolitical aspects 606 $aNationalism and literature$zLebanon 606 $aNationalism$zLebanon 606 $aPhoenicians$zLebanon 606 $2Nationalism 607 $aLebanon$xEthnic relations 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aNationalism and literature 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aPhoenicians 676 $a305.80095692 700 $aBawardi$b Basilius$01263912 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150291003321 996 $aThe Lebanese-Phoenician nationalist movement$92963137 997 $aUNINA
