Salloum Antoun Mokarzel (1881–1952) was an influential Lebanese American intellectual and publisher.[2] He was the younger brother of Naoum Mokarzel who was the founder of Al-Hoda, one of the first Arabic language newspapers published in the United States.[3] Mokarzel founded and published The Syrian World, a magazine that published articles on the history and culture of Syria.[2] After The Syrian World ceased publication as a magazine in 1932, Salloum converts the publication to a weekly newspaper.[4] After Naoum's death in 1932, Salloum takes over Al-Hoda.[4]
