Despite the significant attention paid to this group by the media, the details of Hizbullah's evolution have frequently confounded politicians--and even scholars. In this important study, Joseph Alagha, a scholar with unprecedented access to the organization, exhaustively and objectively analyzes Hizbullah's historical evolution and offers a revolutionary new perspective on the political phenomenon of the organization.\u003ci\u003eHizbullah's Identity Construction\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely examination of one of the world'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 Hizbullah'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Alagha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9089642978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789089642974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2012","brand":"Joseph Alagha","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659554271487,"sku":"9789089642974","price":83.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52ed9285-6144-47ef-b03a-ba827ba3762d.jpg?v=1781201952","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hizbullahs-identity-construction-joseph-alagha-9789089642974","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
