Topic: Assad Shoman

	Book Review
		Shoman does not spare the sensibilities of those who prefer myth to reality--including the myth of "benign" slavery and slaves who worked and even fought "shoulder to shoulder" with their wealthy white owners.
		Shoman believes that these strikingly different attitudes towards the land had, along with the institution of slavery, a continuing and negative impact on Belize and elsewhere in the formerly colonial world; since they are the root of the grossly disparate systems of labor and ownership that persist to this day.
		Assad Shoman, a former legislative representative, senator and minister who is no longer active in party politics, believes in the importance of history.

	belizetimes - Assad and Said — Redux
		While both men are described as intellectuals, the analysis was that: “Assad is a politician first and foremost” and that “were it not for Assad, Said would certainly have removed himself from the maelstrom of politics some time ago”.
		Assad Shoman, then, was and is an intellectual first and foremost.
		He is arguably Belize’s purest intellectual in that, in his intellectual pursuits, he is not distracted by the accumulation of wealth or power for power’s sake and also because his thinking and analysis is not contaminated by personal and emotional considerations.

	From El Bireh to Belize - Haaretz - Israel News
		Shoman's and Musa's families were very close and thus could be considered virtual Palestinian landsleit: The distance between El Bireh and Beit Hanina, where Shoman's father was born, is not so great.
		Though he regards immigration as a key factor in Belize's growth, Shoman does not ascribe much importance to the Palestinian immigrants, who were never more than a tiny fraction of the pool of newcomers to the state.
		Shoman has formulated a clear stance on the Palestinian refugee return issue: "The principle is that every person has a right to return to the home from which he was expelled," he says.

		Lisa Shoman, attorney and head of the Belize Bar Association, told IWRAW in an interview 29 September 1997 that the Department of Women's Affairs can have only a limited impact primarily because of serious underfunding (according to the government's own report to CEDAW, it receives only 0.10 percent of the budget).
		According to Shoman, the government-sponsored National Women's Commission "does not have any clout." Several sources have emphasised the "lack of political will" in the government to advance the status of women as the main obstacle to change.
		According to Lisa Shoman, such attitudes persist and women are still reluctant to come forward mainly because of the lack of an adequate support system.
