Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article explores the role of various factors in the
acquisition of individual modernity in a migrant community of Christian Maronite Lebanese
in Detroit, Michigan. Of particular interest in this study are the problems of adaptation,
integration, and assimilation encountered by this immigrant group in the transition from a
traditional agricultural environment to an urban-industrial one. Attention is specifically
focused on the history and social background of the group, their motivation for emigrating,
early settlement patterns, and assimilation characteristics (p. 148).
