Il presente volume intende comparare i processi di delegittimazione dell’autorità dello Stato in cinque paesi arabi (Irak, Siria, Libano, Libia, Yemen), collegandoli ad una temporalità più lunga, quella della creazione dello Stato, all’inizio del XX secolo, sul modello dello Stato-nazione moderno europeo e anche al periodo anteriore, nei processi di autonomizzazione regionali, confessionali e/o tribali in corso durante l’ultim...
Praise for The Long War for Freedom "An extremely important book. The Long War for Freedom finally presents to the Western world an in-depth portrait of those 'small voices' in the Arab world waging the most critical battle of the twenty-first century--the battle for the soul of the Middle East. No one with any interest in the struggle for economic and political reform in the Arab world can afford to neglect this penetrating and provocative work, which lays bare both the importance and the great difficulty of helping the Arab world to transform itself." --Kenneth Pollack, author of The Threatening Storm and The Persian Puzzle

But an adventurous journey begins when Sarah rejects the "sacred" laws of Ur's priesthood and she must flee for her life!
How poetic modernism shaped Arabic intellectual debates in the twentieth century and beyond City of Beginnings is an exploration of modernism in Arabic poetry, a movement that emerged in Beirut during the 1950s and became the most influential and controversial Arabic literary development of the twentieth century.

He also provides an intellectual history of Lebanon during the early Cold War, when Beirut became both a battleground for rival ideologies and the most vital artistic site in the Middle East.
