The Shi'ites of Lebanon: Modernism, Communism, and Hizbullah's Islamists - Middle East Studies Beyond Dominant Paradigms
Rula Jurdi Abisaab
Traces the sociopolitical, economic, and intellectual transformation of the Shi‘ites of Lebanon from 1920 during the French colonial period until the late twentieth century. Analysing the interaction between sacred and secular features of modern Shi‘ite society, the authors clearly follow the group's turn toward religious revolution and away from secular activism.
