Preview Inventing Lebanon: Nationalism and State under the Mandate
Description:
This study examines the history behind an idea: a new polity of “Greater Lebanon”. It shows how, under the powerful influence of the French Mandate, various groups of the local elite attempted to create what amounted to a new Lebanese nationalism, carving the state into Maronite Christian, Sunni and Shiite power bases. The results only accentuated the divisions already inherent in this multi-ethnic and multi-faith society, and were to pave the way for the instability and wars that have plagued the country ever since.
