Cultures Without Borders
I have never met anyone who so adeptly mixes academics, philosophy, technical know-how, advocacy, and common sense like May Rihani. I have watched with awe as she has applied her unique set of skills and made a difference in the lives of women and girls around the world. Stephanie Funk, USAID Mission Director, Zimbabwe May Rihanis book is proof of the emptiness of three stereotypes: she challenges the idea that Arab women are submissive, that there are no democracies in the Middle East, and the notion of a clash of civilizations. Her life demonstrates global leadership by a Lebanese Arab woman, and her memoir describes a golden age in Lebanon when democracy and freedom of expression were tak...
Ameen Al-Rihani: My Story with May
Rumors abounded concerning the romantic relationship between May Ziyadeh and Ameen al-Rihani: How and when did they meet? How did they correspond? How did they exchange their books and opinions? How did this relationship develop through ebb and flow and ups and down?Rumors also abounded concerning May's tragedy: its causes, circumstances, and conclusion, especially Ameen al-Rihani's role in all of this.This manuscript, "My Story with May" which was published for the first time in 1980, in Arabic, forty years after the death of al- Rihani and thirty nine years after the death of May, is in fact, simply a "Confession and an Apology" as the philosopher of Freike, al-Rihani, puts it. It is also one of the many phases of a loving and sincere autobiography that is interactive between two giant authors of our time. For the first time ever, this book has been translated into English by George Nicolas El-Hage, Ph.D. It is an important addition to al-Rihani scholarship and research.

Cultures Without Borders
May Rihani's book is proof of the emptiness of three stereotypes: she challenges the idea that Arab women are submissive, that there are no democracies in the Middle East, and the notion of a "clash of civilizations." Her life demonstrates global leadership by a Lebanese Arab woman, and her memoir describes a golden age in Lebanon when democracy and freedom of expression were taken for granted. Perhaps most importantly, Cultures Without Borders finds the common ground among cultures despite apparent differences. This is an eyewitness account of the rich and profound goodness in humanity. H.E. Amine Gemayel, former President of Lebanon Cultures Without Borders contains important lessons for a...

Proceedings of the inaugural lecture by May A. Rihani in September 20, 2016
Prisoner of the Levant
“I had a dream that women, all women, will hold their heads high, that women will work, that in their eyes we will no longer see fear or defeat or humiliation. That women will never again be shackled by society, or by circumstance, or by men. Instead we will see in the eyes of every woman a person fully in control of herself, and mistress of her own destiny.” Cairo, 1920. In the cafés and literary salons, the great minds of the Arab renaissance meet and share ideas. Among them is May Ziadeh, pioneer of the Arab feminist movement and the great love of Khalil Gibran’s life. Intense and talented, May is celebrated by the greatest writers and thinkers of Cairo’s literary world, who flock to her famous salon. Yet when a series of personal losses leave her vulnerable to plots against her, she is abandoned by those she believed would protect her. Stripped of her everything and imprisoned against her will, May is left fighting for the most basic right: freedom. In Prisoner of the Levant, Darina Al Joundi offers a moving account of May Ziadeh’s desire for emancipation and enlightenment, and an indictment of a world that does not allow women to be free.
