It shows that the contribution of these Christian Arabs, despite their relatively small number, lies in the processes they set in motion, being the first to promote territorial concepts along with a secular interpretation of Arab culture. This Syrian identity constitutes an innovative case study in the broader discipline of proto-national identity and the study of the development of local identities in Middle Eastern countries. It is also a vital basis for research of 20th century Syrian nationalism. 410 0$aSocial, Economic and Political Studies of the Middle East and Asia ;$v98. 517 3 $aIntellectuals and Merchants in Nineteenth-Century Beirut 606 $aIntellectual life 606 $aNational characteristics, Syrian 606 $aSyrians$zLebanon$zBeirut 607 $aBeirut (Lebanon)$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aBeirut (Lebanon)$xIntellectual life$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIntellectual life. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Syrian. 615 0$aSyrians 676 $a305.892/75691056925/09034 700 $aZachs$b Fruma$0876691 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451035503321 996 $aThe making of a Syrian identity$91957573 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01732nam a2200325 a 4500 001 991000285069707536 008 040203s2003 riua b 000 0 eng d 020 $a0821832336 035 $ab12594660-39ule_inst 040 $aDip.to Matematica$beng 082 0 $a512.24$221 084 $aLC QA251.3.C654 084 $aAMS 13B22 245 00$aCommutative algebra :$binteractions with algebraic geometry : international conference, Grenoble, France, July 9-13, 2001, special Session at the joint international meeting of the American Mathematical Society and the Société mathématique de France, Lyon, France, July 17-20, 2001 /$cLuchezar L.
