Yet, in recent years the region has become a vibrant and important arena for feminist and LGBTQ activism. This book provides an insight into this emerging politics through a unique analysis of feminist and LGBTQ social movements in the context of Lebanon's postwar sectarian system.\u003ci\u003e Resisting Sectarianism\u003c\/i\u003e argues that LGBTQ and feminists social movements are powerful agents of political and social transformation in Lebanon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, the book takes the reader inside these movements to see how they attract members and construct campaigns, forge alliances, and the multiple ways in which they generate important forms of resistance to, and change within, the sectarian system. The book also traces the strong obstacles that sectarian parties and religious authorities employ to weaken LGBTQ and feminist activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Nagle, Tamirace Fakhoury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786998009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786998002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"John Nagle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46747704656127,"sku":"9781786998002","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f77b7be6-5613-4556-8c82-8821d67eb4ad.jpg?v=1743584487","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/resisting-sectarianism-john-nagle-9781786998002","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
