Memory and Conflict in Lebanon

Remembering and Forgetting the Past

Beschreibung

This book examines the legacy of Lebanon's civil war and how the population, and the youth in particular, are dealing with their national past. The author explores the efforts of those who wish to forget and those who wish to remember, so as not to repeat past mistakes, shedding new light on trauma and the persistence of ethnic and religious hostility.
