In this paper, I examine the Syrian Revolt of 1925 through a different geographic lens. Heretofore, the history of the revolt has been generally limited to the boundaries of modern-day Syria. This paper will take the village of Rashaya, now part of Lebanon, to broaden the geography of the revolt. More specifically, I will explore the history of the revolt in light of the interaction between Syrian-Lebanese immigrant communities with those in Syria and Lebanon. In situating the revolt globally, the paper uncovers the critical role of propaganda and fundraising which took place across oceans and ultimately conditioned the outcome of debates and events surrounding the revolt. In turn, the flow of donations from the Americas prompted a dynamic debate over questions of homeland, nationalism, and sectarianism--and more particularly of the role of the mandatory government and international community in the compensation of Christian victims from south Lebanon. I will finally argue that diaspora activism played a critical role in influencing debates over the "colonial civic order" in south Lebanon, thereby spreading and deepening the confessional characteristics of Lebanese nationalism.
