Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article presents a descriptive analysis of the
magnitude, scale, and implication of Syrian-Lebanese emigration to the United States. The
paper focuses on three dimensions of this complex phenomenon dealing with: (1) changing
patterns in the emigration process between 1886 to 1914; (2) a socioeconomic profile of the
immigrants themselves and how and why this profile changed over the years; and (3) the
clarification and accounting of the major causes of such an exodus.
