Opis

This book explores Hizbullah's understanding of 'being Lebanese' to meet evolving political challenges and gain influence within Lebanon and the wider region.

Recenzje

'Saade offers a compelling account of how Hizbullah's ideologues and intellectuals address history - both their own and that of others - to continually rearticulate a common political project. Along the way, this work unsettles prevailing accounts of Hizbullah's ideological development and of the writing of the Lebanese nation and provides the most theoretically sophisticated analysis of Hizbullah writings yet published in English.' Michaelle Browers, Wake Forest University, North Carolina
