This thesis argues that, from 1880 to 1935, Syrian immigrants, who comprised an
enclave on the Lower West Side of Manhattan in New York City, sought to control the
pace and extent of their assimilation into mainstream American society, by distancing
themselves from their ethnicity, or by using their ethnicity to their advantage, or by
combining both approaches to varying degrees, as they determined individually, rather
than monolithically. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
