This study follows the social, intellectual and political
development of the Phoenician myth of origin in Lebanon from the
middle of the 19th century to the end of the 20th. Asher Kaufman
demonstrates the role played by the lay, liberal Syrian-Lebanese
who resided in Beirut, Alexandria and America towards the end of
the 19th century in the birth and dissemination of this myth.
Kaufman investigates the crucial place Phoenicianism occupied in
the formation of Greater Lebanon in 1920. He also explores the way
the Jesuit Order and the French authorities propagated this myth
during the mandate years. The book also analyses literary writings
of different Lebanese who advocated this myth, and of others who
opposed it. Finally, the text provides an overview of Phoenicianism
from Independece in 1943 to the present, demonstrating that despite
the general objection to this myth, some aspects of it entered
mainstream Lebanese national narratives. Kaufman's works should be
of use to anyone interested in the birth of modern Lebanon as we
know it today.
