For Lebanese Americans
The Identity Between the Cedar and the Diaspora
Between the cedar and the diaspora, there is an identity. This is where you name it.
For the Lebanese American person working through what it means to carry Lebanese identity — its sectarian complexity, its phoenix-like resilience, the multiple waves of diaspora — into an American life
The Name It First Experience
Lebanon carries an extraordinary cultural legacy alongside extraordinary pain — civil war, sectarian division, economic collapse, resilience that is both famous and exhausting. Lebanese people have been building diasporas for generations. You carry some version of that — the culture, the food, the family, the sectarian identity that shapes which version of Lebanese you are — into America. This workbook is about naming what you're carrying and what being Lebanese American means to you. You leave with The Lebanese American Identity Charter — a named account of who you are.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does it mean to be Lebanese American — between the cedar and the diaspora?
- What does Lebanese identity mean to you personally — the culture, the sectarian complexity, the resilience?
- What are you building in America with what your family carried from Lebanon?
Research basis
Grounded in Lebanese diaspora research / Berry (1997) acculturation / sectarian identity and personal identity / and Levantine diaspora scholarship.
