Yusri Hazran

The Druze Community and the Lebanese State (eBook, ePUB)

Between Confrontation and Reconciliation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book grapples with one of the fundamental questions of Lebanese and Middle Eastern studies, namely 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. It demonstrates that the origins of this alienation lie in the state's national ideology, its political confessional system, and the Druze's historical background during the medieval period.
