Emigration from Syria and the Syrian-Lebanese Community of Worcester, MA

Najib E. Saliba

The story of the Syrian immigrants who settled in Worchester, Massachusetts, has been carefully traced by Najib Saliba.  His analysis of the Syrian community in Worchester is sensitive to both the history of these people and their settlement in a new land.  He has added invaluable insight into the study of Arab-Americans, an area which currently suffers from too little attention by ethnic scholars.  Studies like this one by Dr. Saliba are not only important recordings of American ethnic history, but provide a basis for the on-going attempts to understand the nature and process of immigration, adjustment, assimilation." - From the Introducton.
