He demonstrates that sectarianism evolved long before the phenomenon known as “political Shi’ism.” This groundbreaking and deeply researched book is not merely narrative history; it also incorporates some of the latest critical theory about religious modernity and colonialism. Weiss illustrates the power of sectarianism as both a conceptual category and as a set of practices which can be a force for good and positive change as well as for division and destruction. By foregrounding historical forces that shape and direct sectarianism, he also shows how dimensions of sectarianism that no longer serve a society can be overcome with time.ShīʻahLebanonStatus (Law)LebanonReligion and stateLebanonLebanonEthnic relationsShīʻahStatus (Law)Religion and state305.6/9782095692Weiss Max1977-517518MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955632503321In the shadow of sectarianism849535UNINA
