DESCRIPTION:Please join the Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies
  for a conversation with Ziad Abu-Rish\, an associate professor of human r
 ights and Middle Eastern studies at Bard College in New York. Abu-Rish wil
 l discuss "Wayn al-Dawleh? [Where is the Government?]: Lebanon in the 1940
 s and 1950s".\n\nIn this conversation\, we will explore the expectations\,
  debates and transformations within both state institutions and popular mo
 vements in Lebanon as the country transitioned from a French colonial poss
 ession (1918-1943) to an independent state. The discussion will cover soci
 al movements such as labor unions and women's organizations to consider th
 eir vibrancy amidst competing visions and numerous struggles over the shap
 e of the political system\, economic development and social hierarchies in
  post-colonial Lebanon. While not a focus\, the conversation will invariab
 ly upend many assumptions about Lebanese politics and history that have be
 come axiomatic of how Lebanon is discussed in contemporary public forums a
 s well as many scholarly and historical publications.
