Fragmented Political Mobilizations
From: Identifying as Arab in Canada
$1.60
Chapter six, Fragmented Political Mobilizations, explores the increasing fragmentation in the Arab secular communities and organizations in Canada in the 1950s and 1960s, often around terminology of the community- Syrian, Syrian-Lebanese, Lebanese, Arab or simply Middle Eastern. The chapter also looks at the hostility of Canadian officials to the Arab community both in Canada and in the Middle East during the Arab-Israeli conflict.
