"This book is an original and engaging ethnography of life in a war zone conceived as an entanglement of worlds formed around tobacco, land mines, nature, and borders. The author's social and affective enmeshment in the field makes for a particularly well-written and gripping text."--Ghassan Hage, author of The Diasporic Condition: Ethnographic Explorations of the Lebanese in the World "Eloquently written, beautifully evocative of the mundane and the extraordinary forms of violence, endurance, and liveliness in the southern villages of Lebanon, Munira Khayyat's book is an invaluable ethnography of survival in the 'gray zone' of a more-than-human landscape that has seen decades of war and occupation. This book provides a highly original and critically important contribution to anthropological literatures on Lebanon and on studies of war and conflict, memory and space, and life under occupation."--Joanne Randa Nucho, author of Everyday Sectarianism in Urban Lebanon: Infrastructures, Public Services, and Power
