A diversity of historical narratives has progressively converged into one dominant narrative which entails a standard definition of the  self . In contrast, the  other  is defined through the exclusion of religious groups considered exogenous and ethnicities considered inferior. In addition, women are marginalized. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSurprisingly, the textbooks affiliated with Hezbollah, a Shiite militia financed by the Iranian regime, depart to a certain extent from this definition. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile most previous research on Lebanese history textbooks has focused on the diverging narratives of religious communities, this study views these textbooks as the outcome of a tension between two major forces: educational traditions, on the one hand, and contemporary politics, on the other. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bouchra Saab\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111577104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111577104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Bouchra Saab","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46927952314623,"sku":"9783111577104","price":117.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7e31286-8c92-41c3-a8ad-04d971ee051a.jpg?v=1749373479","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-education-in-lebanon-and-bouchra-saab-9783111577104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
