In the summer of 1888, Ameen Fares Rihani (1876-1940) left the
shores of his native Lebanon to begin a new life in the bustling
metropolis of New York City. Few could have guessed at the time
that the young Rihani would soon become one of the most famous and
distinctive Arab writers of the era, transforming tales from his
crossings between East and West into a clarion call for
understanding and cooperation between a rising world power and an
Arab world that was suspended between cultural renaissance and
political recolonization. Less than a year after the tragic events
of September 11, 2001, the Ameen Rihani Institute and the American
University Center for Global Peace convened a distinguished group
of Arab, American, and European scholars for an international
symposium in Washington, D.C. Inspired by the conviction that
Rihani's humane vision still addresses many of the most vitally
important issues in global affairs, the participants in this
symposium prepared stimulating writings on every facet of Rihani's
intellectual journey, literary career, political advocacy, and life
as a protagonist of Arab-American understanding. The result is this
remarkable book demonstrating the extraordinary nature of Ameen
Rihani's work as a cultural ambassador; the depth of his affinities
for such writers as Carlyle, Emerson, Thoreau, and Tolstoy; and the
enduring relevance of his commitments to tolerance, universalism,
reconciliation, and peace.
