As some of society's most vulnerable and easily influenced, L ebanese children became a primary site for critical debates between Lebanese cit izens and the colonial state over power and identity. The details and effects o f this debate are explored in this dissertation through a study of the home and its anxieties, the educational system and its reforms, and the familial language of colonialism UR - http://library.aub.edu.lb/search~S1?/X%28education+and+department%29&Da=1999&Db=2016&SORT=D&m=y&m=z/X%28education+and+department%29&Da=1999&Db=2016&SORT=D&m=y&m=z&SUBKEY=%28education+and+department%29/151%2C316%2C316%2CB/frameset&FF=X%28education+and+depa ER -
