The Shi‘is of Jabal ‘Amil and the New Lebanon: Community and Nation-State, 1918–1943

Chalabi, T.

Tamara Chalabi highlights the development of a 'politics of demand' and the increased political activism of this community in a time of great change. It also explores how Arab nationalism was transformed from an ideology of opposition and empowerment of marginal communities, into a tool for the assertion of political domination.
