All too often, the answer is sectarianism-popularly viewed as a timeless and intractable force that leads religious groups to conflict. In Everyday Sectarianism in Urban Lebanon, Joanne Nucho shows how wrong this perspective can be. Through in-depth research with local governments, NGOs, and political parties in Beirut, she demonstrates how sectarianism is actually recalibrated on a daily basis through the provision of essential services and infrastructures, such as electricity, medical care, credit, and the planning of bridges and roads.Taking readers to a working-class, predominantly Armenian suburb in northeast Beirut called Bourj Hammoud, Nucho conducts extensive interviews and observations in medical clinics, social service centers, shops, banking coops, and municipal offices. She explores how group and individual access to services depends on making claims to membership in the dominant sectarian community, and she examines how sectarianism is not just tied to ethnoreligious identity, but also class, gender, and geography. Life in Bourj Hammoud makes visible a broader pattern in which the relationships that develop while procuring basic needs become a way for people to see themselves as part of the greater public.Illustrating how sectarianism in Lebanon is not simply about religious identity, as is commonly thought, Everyday Sectarianism in Urban Lebanon offers a new look at how everyday social exchanges define and redefine communities and conflicts. 410 0$aPrinceton studies in culture and technology. 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics)$zLebanon 606 $aPublic welfare$xReligious aspects 606 $aPublic welfare$xPolitical aspects$zLebanon 606 $aMunicipal services$xPolitical aspects$zLebanon 606 $aReligion and civil society$zLebanon 606 $aCivil society$zLebanon 607 $aLebanon$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInfrastructure (Economics) 615 0$aPublic welfare$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aPublic welfare$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aMunicipal services$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aReligion and civil society 615 0$aCivil society 676 $a306.2095692 700 $aNucho$b Joanne Randa, $01249590 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151647403321 996 $aEveryday Sectarianism in Urban Lebanon$92895748 997 $aUNINA
