Uncovers the complex roots of Shi'i sectarianism in twentieth-century Lebanon. Uncoupling the beginnings of modern Shi'i collective identity from the rise of political Shi'ism, this title transforms our understanding of the nature of sectarianism and shows why in Lebanon it has been both so productive and so destructive at the same time.
