One of the fundamental questions of Middle Eastern, and Lebanese studies in particular, is the history of the relationship between the Druze community and the state in modern Lebanon. Arguing that the Druze community has been politically alienated from the Lebanese state, this book explores the historical and political origins of this alienation.<\/p>\n

The Druze Community and the Lebanese State<\/em>\u00a0contends that the origins of this alienation lie in the state\u2019s national ideology, its political confessional system, and the Druze\u2019s historical background during the medieval period. Moreover, this book examines the extent to which the Druze\u2019s attitude vis-\u00e0-vis the Lebanese state has been influenced by their historical rivalry with the Maronites. Particular emphasis is placed on the political and ideological practices adopted by the Druze leadership and intelligentsia as they dealt with the changes taking place in their community\u2019s political status following the political settlements of 1920 and 1943 (the establishment of Greater Lebanon and the National Pact, respectively).<\/p>\n

A welcome addition to existing literature on Lebanon, this book will be an essential reference tool for students and researchers with an interest in nationalism, identity and Middle East Politics more broadly. To press site press here<\/a><\/p>\n
