Inhalt:
Surrounded by my research notes, books, and articles, I spent the better part of two years tapping away at the keyboard of my computer in an attempt to write this book. Alone with my own thoughts, I alternated between reveling in crystalline visions of my intellectual purpose (alas far too briefly) and being lost in a labyrinth of ideas so twisted as to induce hyperventilation. With such a contradictory existence (which climaxed at times in hysterical laughter), it would have been far too easy to become hopelessly lost on my scholarly journey never reaching an end point. However, the support, advice, critical readings, and sense of humor with which colleagues and family showered me helped me stay the course and reach the moment when I can acknowledge all that they have done on my behalf.
Inhalt:
Between 1890 and 1920 over one-third of the peasants of Mount Lebanon left their villages and traveled to the Americas. This book traces the journeys of these villagers from the ranks of the peasantry into a middle class of their own making. Inventing Home delves into the stories of these travels, shedding much needed light on the impact of emigration and immigration in the development of modernity
