ISBN: 9780674052987 / Angielski / Twarda / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that sectarianism is intrinsically linked to violence, bloodshed, or social disharmony, Max Weiss uncovers the complex roots of Shii sectarianism in twentieth-century Lebanon. The template for conflicted relations between the Lebanese state and Shii society arose under French Mandate rule through a process of gradual transformation, long before the political mobilization of the Shii community under the charismatic Imam Musa al-Sadr and his Movement of the Deprived, and decades before the radicalization linked to Hizballah. Throughout the period,... Contrary to the conventional wisdom that sectarianism is intrinsically linked to violence, bloodshed, or social disharmony, Max Weiss uncovers the ... |
