As Hage establishes what he terms the \"lenticular condition,\" he breaks down the boundaries between \"us\" and \"them,\" \"here\" and \"there,\" showing that this convergent mode of existence increasingly defines everyone's everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ghassan Hage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022654706X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226547060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2022","brand":"Ghassan Hage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042568827135,"sku":"9780226547060","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d79856ee-82cf-4a69-8367-c651f870379b.jpg?v=1684962290","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-diasporic-condition-ghassan-hage-9780226547060","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
