Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>In 1894, George Joseph Safy immigrated to the United States at 26 years of age; he lived in New York City for nine years, and was naturalized in 1903. In 1907, he returned to Lebanon, before coming back to the US with his wife Susie (Soosan) Safy. The couple arrived in New York on August 21, 1907, on the ship the S.S. Majestic. By 1910, the couple had settled in Mullins, South Carolina, and became successful in the town's business scene. George Joseph Safy was a member of the Macedonian Methodist Church and the local Masonic Lodge. In the 1920s, they moved north to Weldon, North Carolina. The couple had five children: Sophie Mae Safy Rabil (1909-1987), Alice Eugene Safy Lewis (1914-1977), Sue Olga Safy (1916-1937), George Joseph Safy (1921-1944), and George Victor Safy (1924-1977). They also had four children who died in infancy: Alice (1910-1911) Joseph (1912-1912), Kafa (1917-1917), and Eveline (1918-1918).</p>
<p>George Joseph Safy suffered a heart attack and passed away on July, 18, 1924. He was buried in Mullins, South Carolina at his request. In 1926, Susie remarried to Betrus Dahar (B.D.) Rabil. The Safy children appear to have spent time in the Epworth Orphanage in Columbia, South Carolina, where they are listed in the 1930 census. The children rejoined their mother and stepfather in North Carolina by the late 1930s. </p>
<p>In 1937, Sue Olga died from complications with acute appendicitis while she lived in Rocky Mount and worked as a sales associate. Both George Victor and George Joseph served in World War II. George Joseph was killed in action when his plane was shot down over Germany on September 9, 1944. He is buried in the Lorraine American Cemetery in France. <span>Sophie Mae married Albert Rabil, B.D.'s son from his first marriage to Beula Davis Striman, and had two children: Albert Rabil, Jr., and Carolyn Joan Rabil. Alice Eugene attended Winthrop College in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and taught at the Lincoln School in Kingsport, Tennessee. In 1946, she married Frank Milton Lewis. George Victor married Agnes Harper Ellen in 1951.</span></p>
<p>Susie Safy and B.D. Rabil had two additional children together, Virginia Dell Rabil Mansour (b. 1927) and Betrus Dahar Rabil, Jr (1929-2004). B.D. Rabil, Sr., passed away in 1964; Susie passed away in 1969. Sophie Mae Safy Rabil and Albert Rabil, Sr., brought a lawsuit against Virginia Dell Rabil Mansour and B.D. Rabil, Jr. over which of two wills should be given priority: a joint will created by B.D. Rabil, Sr., and Susie Safy Rabil, or a subsequent will made by Susie Safy Rabil following the death of her second husband. The case was settled in 1970 by the North Carolina Supreme Court, which upheld the bequeathal of B.D. Rabil, Sr.’s real estate and personal property to his two youngest children, Virginia Mansour and B.D. Rabil, Jr.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Salmā Sā’igh, Salwā Salāma, and Afīfa Karam were three prominent literary figures born in Syria in the 1880s. They each immigrated to the Americas (Sā’igh and Salāma to Brazil and Karam to the United States), where their literary careers took root. The three writers’ work focused especially on issues of women’s rights and empowerment.</p>
<p>Salmā Sā’igh (1889-1953) was a writer, orator, and literary figure born in Beirut. She had a son, who died as an infant, and a daughter with her first husband. Sā’igh taught to support her daughter after her separation from her husband, and wrote openly about women’s issues in a number of newspapers and magazines. She also published a number of literary works, some of which we have no remaining evidence of. In 1939, Sā’igh immigrated to Brazil to search for her missing brother, who died soon after her arrival. She lived in Brazil for eight years before returning to Beirut. In Brazil, Sā’igh learned Portuguese and joined the literary movement “al-‘Uṣba al-Andalusiyya” (The Andalusian League). Around 1947, Sā’igh returned to Beirut and founded the organization “al-Nahḍa al-nisā’iyya” (The Women’s Awakening), which brought women together to reject sectarianism and advocate for religious pluralism and unity in Lebanon. She also directed Orthodox Christian charity schools in Beirut. In the 1940s and 1950s, Sā’igh hosted a prominent literary salon at her home in Beirut, which was attended by some of the leading literary figures of the era. Sā’igh died in Beirut in 1953 from pneumonia.</p>
<p>Salwā Salāma was born in Homs, Syria in 1883. After attending a school for girls, she taught in Homs and later Zahle, in the region of Mount Lebanon, and published some of her writing. She married writer Jūrj Aṭlas in 1913; on their honeymoon, the couple was forced to stay in Brazil due to the outbreak of World War I. Shortly after their arrival in Brazil, Salāma and her husband founded the magazine al-Karma (A Vinha, The Vineyard), which later became the official publication of the prominent Syrian social club, al-Nādī al-Homsi, founded by Aṭlas and several others in 1920. The club was home to the Syrian community in Brazil, and was attended by writers who would later go on to establish prominent literary societies, including al-‘Uṣba al-Andalusiyya (The Andalusian League). In addition to being editor and owner of al-KarmaI and playing a prominent role in the Syrian community in Brazil, Salwā published collections of her short stories and speeches during the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. She opened a school in São Paulo in 1914 and became headmistress at the city’s Syrian orphanage.</p>
<p>Afīfa Karam (1883-1924) emigrated from her hometown of Amchit, Lebanon to Shreveport, Louisiana when she was 14 years old. In Louisiana, Karam learned English and literary Arabic. As a teenager, Karam began publishing articles in the New York City-based Arabic newspaper al-Hodā (Guidance). By age 22, she directed her own column dedicated to the discussion of women’s issues, and was later appointed editor-in-chief of the newspaper for six months. Karam founded the first Arabic women’s journals outside of the Arab world, al-Imrā’a al-Sūriyya (The Syrian Woman) and al-‘Ālam al-Jadīd al-Nisā’ī (The New World: A Ladies’ Monthly Arabic Magazine), both of which circulated internationally. In addition to publishing some of the first Arabic novels– predating by several years what is generally recognized as the “first Arabic novel,” Zaynab (1914) by Egyptian author Muhammad Husayn Haykal– Karam translated several novels from English to Arabic. In her Arabic novels, which were published between 1906 and 1910, Karam articulated her feminist politics. Through immigrant stories of love and romance, Karam criticized social conventions and defended women’s rights. Karam died at age 41 of a cerebral hemorrhage. Letters sent to al-Hodā after her death praised Karam as a leader of the women’s movement and of the “women’s literary awakening” (“al-nahḍa al-adabiyya al-nisā’iyya”).</p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>The Elizabeth Saylor Collection of Books by Women Arabic Writers contains eight volumes of essays, speeches, and novels written by Salmā Sā’igh, Salwā Salāma, and Afīfa Karam.</p>
<p>Included are Al-Nasamāt, النسمات [Breezes], a collection of essays written by Salma Sa'igh and published in Beirut in 1923; Al-Kalimāt Al-Khālida, الكلمات الخالدة [Sincere Words], a collection of speeches and writings by Salwá Salāma Aṭlas published in Sao Paolo in 1923; Fāṭima al-Badawiyya [Fatima the Bedouin], Afifa Karam’s second novel, published in New York City in 1908; and Ghādat ‘Amshīt, غادة عمشيت[The Girl from ‘Amshit], Afifa Karam's last novel, published in New York City in 1910. The other four volumes are not online due to copyright.</p>

<p>Salmā Sā’igh (1889-1953) was a writer, orator, and literary figure born in Beirut. She had a son, who died as an infant, and a daughter with her first husband. Sā’igh taught to support her daughter after her separation from her husband, and wrote openly about women’s issues in a number of newspapers and magazines. She also published a number of literary works, some of which we have no remaining evidence of. In 1939, Sā’igh immigrated to Brazil to search for her missing brother, who died soon after her arrival. She lived in Brazil for eight years before returning to Beirut. In Brazil, Sā’igh learned Portuguese and joined the literary movement “al-‘Uṣba al-Andalusiyya” (The Andalusian League). Around 1947, Sā’igh returned to Beirut and founded the organization “al-Nahḍa al-nisā’iyya” (The Women’s Awakening), which brought women together to reject sectarianism and advocate for religious pluralism and unity in Lebanon. She also directed Orthodox Christian charity schools in Beirut. In the 1940s and 1950s, Sā’igh hosted a prominent literary salon at her home in Beirut, which was attended by some of the leading literary figures of the era. Sā’igh died in Beirut in 1953 from pneumonia.</p>
<p>Salwā Salāma was born in Homs, Syria in 1883. After attending a school for girls, she taught in Homs and later Zahle, in the region of Mount Lebanon, and published some of her writing. She married writer Jūrj Aṭlas in 1913; on their honeymoon, the couple was forced to stay in Brazil due to the outbreak of World War I. Shortly after their arrival in Brazil, Salāma and her husband founded the magazine al-Karma (A Vinha, The Vineyard), which later became the official publication of the prominent Syrian social club, al-Nādī al-Homsi, founded by Aṭlas and several others in 1920. The club was home to the Syrian community in Brazil, and was attended by writers who would later go on to establish prominent literary societies, including al-‘Uṣba al-Andalusiyya (The Andalusian League). In addition to being editor and owner of al-KarmaI and playing a prominent role in the Syrian community in Brazil, Salwā published collections of her short stories and speeches during the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. She opened a school in São Paulo in 1914 and became headmistress at the city’s Syrian orphanage.</p>
<p>Afīfa Karam (1883-1924) emigrated from her hometown of Amchit, Lebanon to Shreveport, Louisiana when she was 14 years old. In Louisiana, Karam learned English and literary Arabic. As a teenager, Karam began publishing articles in the New York City-based Arabic newspaper al-Hodā (Guidance). By age 22, she directed her own column dedicated to the discussion of women’s issues, and was later appointed editor-in-chief of the newspaper for six months. Karam founded the first Arabic women’s journals outside of the Arab world, al-Imrā’a al-Sūriyya (The Syrian Woman) and al-‘Ālam al-Jadīd al-Nisā’ī (The New World: A Ladies’ Monthly Arabic Magazine), both of which circulated internationally. In addition to publishing some of the first Arabic novels– predating by several years what is generally recognized as the “first Arabic novel,” Zaynab (1914) by Egyptian author Muhammad Husayn Haykal– Karam translated several novels from English to Arabic. In her Arabic novels, which were published between 1906 and 1910, Karam articulated her feminist politics. Through immigrant stories of love and romance, Karam criticized social conventions and defended women’s rights. Karam died at age 41 of a cerebral hemorrhage. Letters sent to al-Hodā after her death praised Karam as a leader of the women’s movement and of the “women’s literary awakening” (“al-nahḍa al-adabiyya al-nisā’iyya”).</p>

An account of the resource
<h5>Introduction</h5>
<p>Naoum Antoun Mokarzel (1864-1932) and Salloum Antoun Mokarzel (1881-1952) were influential intellectuals who immigrated to the United States from Lebanon in the late nineteenth century. Both were prominent Lebanese-American intellectuals who used their family-owned publishing house, the Al-Hoda Press, to preserve their heritage for diaspora communities across the world and to educate English-speaking audiences about the rich history and culture of Lebanon.</p>
<p>The Mokarzel brothers were the sons of Antoun Mokarzel, a Maronite Priest, and Barbara Akl Mokarzel. They were born and raised in Frieke, Lebanon. Naoum Mokarzel emigrated to the United States in 1890, at the age of 26. Naoum explored various career options as a young man, including: shopkeeper, bookkeeper, journalist, and medical student. While working as a bookkeeper in Philadelphia he founded <em>Al Asr</em>, a fledgling newspaper which quickly failed. Shortly after, in 1898, Naoum founded <em>Al-Hoda</em><span> [Guidance] as a biweekly publication; the first issue was published on February 22 of that year. In 1902, Naoum moved the paper from Philadelphia to New York and began publishing it as a daily. Newspapers proliferated among the populous Lebanese immigrant community in New York City, but among them <em>Al-Hoda </em>stood out in its wide circulation and international sphere of influence. Though Naoum frequently insisted upon his own journalistic integrity and objectivity, <em>Al-Hoda </em>was guided from the start by a fierce devotion to the cause of Lebanon; it also initially leaned towards Maronite interests, against Orthodox views. In his editorials and articles, Naoum was quick to rise to the defense of both his homeland and himself, a tendency that often stirred controversy even as it furthered Naoum's political goals.<em><br /></em></span></p>
<p>Around the time that Naoum founded <em>Al-Hoda</em>, his much younger brother Salloum joined him in the United States. Though Salloum travelled back to Lebanon to obtain his higher education at St. Joseph’s University, he was quickly folded into the new family trade of publishing. Salloum quickly established himself as an innovator in his own right: in 1909, he catalogued and published <em><a href="http://lebanesestudies.omeka.chass.ncsu.edu/collections/show/41">The Syrian Business Directory</a></em>, an inventory of Syrian businesses in the United States. In the next year, he patented the first Arabic linotype machine, an invention which helped modernize Arabic publishing; this innovation contributed to the explosion of the Arabic press in both North and South America. In the 1910s and 1920s, Salloum published scholarly works through the imprint called <a href="https://lebanesestudies.omeka.chass.ncsu.edu/collections/show/53" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Syrian-American Press</a>; he also carried forth his interest in Lebanese business endeavors through the monthly journal <span><em>Al Majallah Al-Tijariyeh</em> [<em>Syrian-American Commercial Magazine</em>], which he edited from 1918 to 1926.</span></p>
<p><span>Despite their shared vocation, the two brothers had very different personalities and political goals. Naoum had a fiery commitment to Lebanese independence: in 1911, he founded the Lebanese League of Progress in an attempt to unite the Lebanese diaspora behind the cause of Lebanese independence. Naoum was among the delegation from Lebanon sent to the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. Though Naoum was an outspoken and passionate figure whose devout Maronitism, Lebanese nationalism, and willingness to critique the diasporic community often created controversy. By contrast, Salloum was known as a gentler figure, more interested in building new communities and hybrid cultural identities than in influencing political change in the homeland. Despite his very different aims, Salloum, too, was a formidable influence both to his peers and to younger generations of Lebanese-Americans.</span></p>
<p><span>The difference between the brothers’ personalities and political goals is represented by the differences in their publications. Throughout World War I and the following years of geopolitical chaos and decolonization, Naoum was deeply involved in nationalist movements. His decision to publish </span><span>Al-Hoda </span><span>in Arabic indicates his continuing commitment to a diasporic community which faced towards and participated in the culture and political realm of the homeland. By contrast, Salloum was interested in translating and modifying his birth culture to thrive in various new homelands. To facilitate this goal, in 1926, Salloum launched </span><em>The Syrian World</em><span>, which he initially conceived as an academic journal aimed towards a hybrid audience of second-generation children of immigrants and Americans of non-Lebanese descent. Between 1926 and 1932, </span><em>The Syrian World </em><span>was published as a monthly journal. During this time, it served as an outlet for scholarship on Syrian and Lebanese history, as well as topics pertinent to the immigrant community such as health, current events, and preserving Lebanese heritage for younger generations. In served as a platform for Salloum to initiate his plans for community formation through his editorials; for example, Salloum put out a call for the formation of regional federations like the Southern Federation of Syrian and Lebanese American Clubs in a editorial in the late 1920s. In 1932, the combined factors of the Great Depression and the death of Naoum Mokarzel led Salloum to scale back his involvement in the paper; its format was changed from the style of an academic journal to a more traditional newspaper. This incarnation of the paper--which lasted from 1932 to 1935--consisted of daily news on both transnational and local levels. </span></p>
<p><span>Naoum Mokarzel had three marriages: Sophie Shishim, between 1898 and 1902; Saada Rihani between 1904 and 1908; and Rose Abillama, from 1910 until Naoum’s 1932 death. Naoum had no children, and Salloum and his family were Naoum’s heirs. In 1908, Salloum married Helen Abu Khalil. Together, the couple had five daughters: Mary, Rose, Alice, Yemna, and Lila. By 1919, Salloum and Helen moved their family to Cranford, New Jersey; however, the children were raised to be highly educated world citizens, encouraged towards literacy in both English and Arabic. In 1925, Helen took her five daughters to Lebanon, where the girls travelled and attended school until returning to America in 1927. </span></p>
<p><span>Naoum died in 1932 on a visit to Paris, where he was serving as a representative of diasporic communities for Lebanon’s transition from French colony to independent nation. This led Salloum to take up the role of editing <em>Al-Hoda</em>. During this time, Salloum became increasingly well-known, contributing to the Lebanese pavilion at the 1939 New York World’s Fair and serving as a dignitary at the 1946 opening of the United Nations. Salloum died in 1952. The bodies of both brothers were repatriated by the government of Lebanon, and are buried together in the family tomb in their native city of Freike, Lebanon.</span></p>
<p><span>The Mokarzel brothers’ legacies were carried on by Salloum’s five daughters. After a struggle over the ownership of the paper, Salloum’s eldest daughter, Mary Mokarzel, carried on the publication of <em>Al-Hoda</em>. In 1954--perhaps in remembrance of her father’s English-language journal </span><em>The Syrian World</em><span>--Mary acquired </span><em>The Lebanese American Journal</em><span>, which she published in tandem with the Arabic paper until September 1971. Yemna was also committed to the family business, supporting her sister’s social, political, and business endeavors and serving as a correspondent for the papers.</span></p>
<p><span>Neither Yemna nor Mary married. Rose Mokarzel married Joseph Tanous; the two had three children: Peter J. Tanous, an investment banker, author, and community leader; Dr. Helene Tanous, who specialized in radiology; and Evelyne Nala Tanous, J.D., who served as Chief Counsel of the United States Small Business Administration district office in Houston. Peter has three children with his wife Ann-Christopher Tanous, Helen Tanous Bartilucci, and Will Tanous--and five grandchildren. Evelyn Najla Tanous has one daughter, Chantal Tanous D’Larenti, and two grandchildren.</span></p>
<p><span>Alice Mokarzel married Edmond Jaoudi and had two children: Dr. Maria Jaoudi, a professor of Comparative Religion who has one child, Harrison Smith-Jaoudi, with her husband, Harry Smith; and Edmond Jaoudi Jr., a technology administrator who has three children with his wife Barbara: Michael, Steven, and Anna.</span></p>
<p><span>Lila Mokarzel married George Hatab. The two had five children: Dr. Lawrence Hatab, a professor of Philosophy and author; Helen Hatab Samhan, a non profit executive; Anne Hatab Dill, an educator; Paul Hatab, a senior statistician at Micron; John Hatab, an art and drama teacher. Lawrence and his wife Chelsey Carter have one daughter, Stephanie Carter, and two grandchildren. Helen Hatab Samhan married Dr. Muhammad Kamal Samhan; they have two children, Leila Samhan Soliman and Zaid Samhan, and one grandchild. Anne Hatab married Francis Dill; the two had five children--James, Clare Dill Cruz, John, Peter, and Teresa—and four grandchildren. Paul and his wife Christine have two children, Jemma Hatab Langland and Will Hatab, and have two grandchildren. John is married to Mary Ann Hatab and they have two children, Ryan and Jeffrey Blaine.</span></p>
