Recenzje

'Tine Gade provides us with a remarkably detailed and in-depth field study which highlights the 'Sunni city' of Tripoli as a world in itself. However, the book goes beyond this case story: it shows also how this Sunni city mirrors the complexity of Lebanese politics and identity, and the long, complex history of Arab Sunni radicalism in the Middle East.' Olivier Roy, European University Institute
