Posthumous Images

Contemporary Art and Memory Politics in Post-Civil War Lebanon

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Chad Elias analyzes a generation of artists working in Lebanon who interrogate Lebanon's civil war (1975-1990), showing how their appropriation and creation of images challenge divisive political discourse, give a voice to those silenced and forgotten, and provide the means to reimagine Lebanon's future.
