		The Arab federated entities do not need to follow the current colonial divisions but will be determined by the free will of all the Arab people.
		Arab unity will grant the needed space for any form of diversity and recognize the right of old and new linguistic minorities to foster their language and culture.
		5- Arabs and Muslims are facing occupation on the hand of the west, oppression on the hand of the dictators often supported by the west and aggressive colonization by the Zionist state of Israel.

	Objective Arab realities Hana Abdul Ilah Albayaty
		This unity of the Arab world behind Hizbullah has definitively buried US-Israeli plans as it destroyed the myths upon which they rested (the canard that Arabs cannot develop democratic movements, that Israel is invincible, and that nothing unites Arabs), exposing their imperial nature.
		Arabs are more and more aware — despite attempts to divide the Arab nation — that the people of this region are unified by their Arabo-Muslim identity and interests.
		The only defendable position is an Arab Palestine consisting in a secular, democratic state of the citizens of all of Palestine after the return of Palestinian refugees to their homes according to UN resolution 194.

	Foreign Affairs: Taking Arabs Seriously
		Arabs and Muslims recognize and dismiss such efforts as propaganda, something they are quite familiar with from their own regimes.
		Arab and Islamist commentators focus obsessively on the imbalance of power and hardly need to be reminded of their weakness.
		Arab liberals complain that they have long been fighting for human rights and public freedoms without any palpable American support and ask why things should be any different now, at a time when the war on terror and public outrage over Iraq have made Arab regimes ever more repressive.

	Manas: Reflections on the Indian Diaspora
		It thus appears perfectly reasonable to speak of an Indian Diaspora, as it does of the Chinese Diaspora, the African Diaspora, the Palestinian Diaspora, and of course the Jewish Diaspora.
		This is perhaps all the more remarkable, when one considers that the 'Indianness' of the Indian diaspora is not as evidently conceptualizable, or even visible, as the distinctly Chinese characteristics of the Chinese diaspora or the Islamic features of the Arab diaspora.
		In the Indian Diaspora, the plurality of India is condemned to disappear, even as the most esoteric traditions are given a fresh burst of life, and a unitary vision of 'Indianness', of Indian civilization and of Hinduism, appears poised to dominate.

	AFRICAN HOLOCAUST: The History of the Arab Slave Trade in Africa
		There is a low African Diaspora in the Arab lands due to the proliferation of miscegenation, the dynamics of being classified as an Arab, and the degree or easy of Arabization.
		Arab slavery was primarily domestic, and only in the 18th century was it a mainstay for Arab economies.
		Arab slavery generally lacked large droves of sugar plantations where slaves toiled to the crack of a whip in the hot sun.

		The word "Arab" usually brings to mind images of white-robed Bedouins riding across the desert on their camels; however, this is not the total picture.
		Because the Diaspora Arabs have been exposed to western culture on a grand scale, their traditional culture and way of life have undergone many changes.
		This reflects the Muslim Arab tradition that even though women are subservient to men, they retain their identities, separate legal rights, and family ties.

	Constitutional Design and Power-Sharing
		The recent effort to secure recognition of the PLO by the City of Berkeley in a referendum is an example of the Arabs successfully mobilizing an Arab diaspora on behalf of an issue.
		Initially, the diaspora communities were happy to view Israel strictly as a beneficiary of their fundraising for relief and rehabilitation needs.
		If there is an attack on Israel by the Arab states, obviously there is going to be a response without going through a large round of consultations, because there is a consensus as to what the issue is and what needs to be done.

	CU Art Museum - Shatat
		The Arab diaspora, resulting--in part--from past and present colonialism, and the political, social and economic contexts, is present in many 'Western' countries.
		The stereotypes of Arab and Middle Eastern women, that have been circulating for more than a century and are still found in contemporary western societies, have been a source of exploration and concern for the four artists.
		By stepping into the frame of representation at this point in history, contemporary artists of the Arab diaspora are reclaiming their bodies and subverting the ideologies, which have dominated for too long.

	The Arabist » Political Islam
		Some Arab ministers came to the area and they did not object to the presence of one or two ministers from the government.
		The president mentioned the issue of the Arab initiative in a way that gave the impression that as a government, we were engaged in a battle with our Arab brothers, especially with our brothers, the dear ones, in Saudi Arabia, whom we respect and appreciate.
		Now Tehran is playing the “Arab street” and undermining the legitimacy of the ruling Arab regimes by leading this new alliance of Islamism and Arab nationalism in the near east.

		Junior scholars were invited to submit abstracts of their research to the CAAS Colloquia on emergent research in Arab American and Arab Diaspora Studies.
		These representations reinforce over all constructions of the Arab world as a problem area to be democratized and India as the ideal model of capitalist development.
		In measuring modernity and ‘liberation’ for women against a U.S. and Eurocentric standard, Arab women (assumed to be Muslim) are represented by popular media as possessing a “deviant modesty” symbolized in the burqa, veil, and hijab.

		Arab transnational media surged in North American markets at a time of high volatility in the Middle East with the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the war in Afghanistan and the Iraq war.
		Arab audience in the United States have access to Arabic satellite television through subscription to Dish Network (around $23 per month) or by investing in a relatively expensive satellite antenna and receiver that requires a one time investment but does not require monthly subscription.
		A mixture of open and close ended questions were conducted with a non random sample of Arab households in the Portland metropolitan area in which respondents were asked to describe both their personal viewing habits and aspects of viewing behavior within the household as a whole.

	Home / World Wide / Americas / Sexual content on Arab Satellite Channels - Media Monitors Network (MMN) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The subject of sex on television or in public in general in the Arab world is still in the realm of the taboo, it has always been dealt with in the mildest of manners so as not to offend the sensibilities of the Arab audience.
		Arab Satellite channels have virtually no advertising revenues, and from a business perspective they all are losing hundreds of millions of dollars a year, including Aljazeera, but the question remains why sexualizing the news and entertainment.
		These segments the in Arab world and particularly in Lebanon, where this problem is more acute feel that if they act in the ways of the west (in their mind, that basically means living a glamorous Hollywood life style) they themselves become modern and advanced.

		The result is creolized discourse, society and ultimately culture among overseas Arab emigres, exiles, labor migrants, students and new professionals.
		This is a world of the best-and-brightest, in which computer scientists are the latest in a series extending back through engineers and physicians before them, and military officers even earlier, who went or were sent from their countries to acquire the latest learning of the West.
		In addition to these immigrants, are the overseas "guestworker" migrant communities (including professionals and students), such as of Palestinians, North Africans, Gulf Arabs in North America and Europe (Soysal 1994), and, of course, exile communities of political dissidents, particularly from Algeria and the Arabian penninsula.

	Asia Times Online :: Middle East News, Iraq, Iran current affairs
		Arabs are delighted to find good products and competitive prices in South America and a business climate much more relaxed than in Europe, and especially post-September 11 US.
		According to Georgetown University's Tarik Youssef, "From the Arabs' perspective, Latin America is probably the best case to benchmark the pace of progress in the Arab world," meaning in both the political and economic spheres.
		Arabs may learn one or two practical things in South America in terms of privatization and fiscal and political reforms.

	The Head Heeb: I've seen the future and it speaks English
		English-language Arab media, however, are not only a remnant of the British Empire but a connection with the worldwide Arab diaspora, many of whose members reside in English-speaking countries.
		The other two great Arab diasporas - the Coptic and Palestinian - also reside disproportionately in countries where English is spoken and maintain a connection to the homeland through English media, particularly as the second and third generations lose the Arabic language.
		During the 35 years that the Tutsi diaspora existed in those countries, English became its preferred language; the army that fought first the Habyarimana government and then the interahamwe was heavily English-speaking, and the "fifty-niners" who returned after the fall of the Hutu Power government have continued to prefer English.

	LRB \| Michael Gilsenan : Out of the Hadhramaut (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Arabs were popularly associated with moneylending, land and property ownership and close relations with the Dutch in Indonesia.
		The degree to which Arabs were responsible for the long and uneven period of Islamisation of the region since the later 13th century is much disputed.
		'Arab food' here is very different from the nasi kabuli (mutton with rice) of a Surabaya wedding, taken to be the definitive Arab dish, much to the disdain of a Javanese friend who claimed to be astonished that something so basic would do for a feast.

	Shatat: Arab Diaspora Women Artists
		The curator is presenting four female artists with Diaspora experience in different parts of the world (see biographical data).
		In his opinion, their works are translations of cultural differences, which, considering the current debate about the increased "blurring" of geographical and cultural boundaries that has emerged in the course of the globalization process, are particularly relevant.
		At the core of their work are reflections on the identities of Arab peoples and members of the Arab Diaspora in the West.

		His explanation for Arab tyranny dwells not on the foibles of culture in Arabic-speaking countries; not on their premodern legacy of dictatorship; and not on the winner-take-all atmosphere that dominates their politics.
		Many wealthy Arab businessmen and intellectuals (with a few notable exceptions), says Aburish, help to perpetuate this false view of the Middle East in which the simple Arabs must be protected from the onslaught of Islamic Fundamentalism and the West's primary goal is to furnish selfless assistance in regional development.
		Add to this the Arab governments' (understandable) unease about any US plans to attack Iraq (without the right provocation this time), popular Arab despair about any possibility of peace between the Palestinians and Israel, the effective fusing of Palestinian secular groups with their Islamist 'enemies' and you have a Middle East ready to completely explode.

	ARAB FILM FESTIVAL / Movies tell gripping, heartbreaking stories of war
		The Arab diaspora stretches to distant places: In "Zozo," a young Lebanese boy finds his way to Sweden in the midst of the Lebanese civil war, which ravaged the country from 1975 to 1990.
		A historic example of the Arab diaspora can be seen in West Africa, where Lebanese traders have lived for three generations.
		Iraq is a living hell: The Arab Film Festival is certainly not the only venue where this point is driven home, but the festival is the only way to see "Ahlaam" on the big screen so far.

	Reflections By An Arab Jew - Ella Shohat
		The assumption was that "Arabness" referred to a common shared culture and language, albeit with religious differences.
		I recall a well-established colleague who despite my elaborate lessons on the history of Arab Jews, still had trouble understanding that I was not a tragic anomaly--for instance, the daughter of an Arab (Palestinian) and an Israeli (European Jew).
		The Gulf War, for example, intensified a pressure already familiar to the Arab Jewish diaspora in the wake of the Israeli-Arab conflict: a pressure to choose between being a Jew and being an Arab.

	The Head Heeb: The Bethlehem diaspora and the making of national consciousness
		It may be more accurate to say that there are two Palestinian diasporas, because the communities in Central and South America differ in age, religion and reasons for migration from their counterparts in the Arab world and Europe.
		The Palestinian diaspora is often thought of as beginning with the Israeli war of independence (or, depending on one's perspective, the nakba).
		Both in their origins and the way they have adapted to life in the diaspora, they are a poignant contrast to those who didn't choose their exile.

	Amazon.com: The Poetry of Arab Women: Books: Nathalie Handal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The Arab world's poetic tradition predates Islam, but it was through the social revolution of Islam that it became possible to be a poet, an Arab, and a woman.
		Ancient Arab women are sometimes anthologized, but contemporary poets don't get the attention that they deserve and that this ambitious volume begins to give them.
		Under the able editorship of Nathalie Handal, The Poetry Of Arab Women: A Contemporary Anthology stands as a monument to the manifold literary of Arab women as poets and wordsmiths evoking images and rhythms of language born of their experience, art, and imagination.

	CRL - The Arab-American Press
		Kansas State University professor Michael W. Suleiman is conducting an extended study of the social and political history of Arabs in the United States.
		Suleiman’s Arabs in America: Building a New Future (Temple University Press, 1999) is a pioneering scholarly production that brings together essays by 21 prominent scholars from a variety of disciplines—including anthropology, economics, history, law, literature and culture, political science, and sociology—to examine the history and influence of Arabs in the United States and Canada.
		Very little of the published legacy of the early Arab communities survives today and much of what does survive is in Arabic.

	Hitchens: The Arab Street - a vanquished cliche — LastSuperpower
		While the Paris-based site is trilingual (Arabic, English, French), its particular value is that it has become a forum for Arab liberals who would otherwise have no outlet for their writings.
		The London-based newspaper Al Quds al-Arabi, which has for some time been a surrogate voice for "insurgent" talk in the Arab diaspora, polled its readers after the Iraqi elections and had the grace to print the result.
		And it was most obviously those elections that discredited the idea of ventriloquizing the Arab or Muslim populace or of conferring axiomatic authenticity on the loudest or hoarsest voice.

	The Creativity of Diaspora / Exile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		In both cases, the distance from the country of origin often encourages writers to tread new ground, exploring and experimenting with new themes and forms, breaking taboos prevailing in their home countries (especially where sexuality, religion, and social and political order are concerned), and developing new ideas.
		In some cases, diaspora has ensured a Middle Eastern literature’s very survival (under Saddâm Husayn, for instance, non-panegyrical Iraqi literature was produced almost exclusively outside Iraq), in others the works of diaspora authors have been able to challenge the literary canon of their home countries.
		Moreover, as agents of mediation, diaspora authors may differentiate or, as the case may be, correct the images the West and the East are constantly producing of each other.

	The Yale Herald - January 31, 2003 - Divesting from Israel is not answer
		There are 1.2 million Israeli Arabs, and roughly 17 percent of Israel's voters on Tuesday were estimated to be Arabs.
		While Arabs across the Middle East are routinely denied a voice in their own lives by Arab governments, Israel's democracy is open to all, including Israeli Arabs, many of whom openly side with the Palestinians in the ongoing conflict there.
		Surely some of the contempt for Israel shared by Qumsiyeh and by the region's dictators really stems from a fear that if Israel is not undermined, Arabs across the Middle East may one day demand the same rights and freedoms enjoyed by their Israeli Arab brothers and sisters.
