Hizbullah's Identity Construction

Hizbullah's Identity Construction
- Used Book in Good Condition
As the dominant political force in Lebanon and one of the most powerful post-Islamist organizations in the world, Hizbullah is a source of great controversy and uncertainty in the West. Despite the significant attention paid to this group by the media, the details of Hizbullahâ€™s evolution have frequently confounded politiciansâ€•and even scholars. In this important study, Joseph Alagha, a scholar with unprecedented access to the organization, exhaustively and objectively analyzes Hizbullahâ€™s historical evolution and offers a revolutionary new perspective on the political phenomenon of the organization. Hizbullahâ€™s Identity Construction is a timely examination of one of the worldâ€™s most turbulent regions; a major contribution to the study of contemporary Islamic political movements in the Middle East; and a refreshing departure from the bland hagiographies and ad hominem attacks that are all too common in studies of Hizbullahâ€™s murky history. Superbly documented and argued, and rooted in broad knowledge of contemporary Islamist political thought, this study brings much-needed clarity to a hot-button subject.
