In a far-reaching and much-needed analysis of this complex legacy, James A. Reilly looks at Arabic-language history writing emanating from Lebanon in the post-1975 period, focusing on the three main Ottoman administrative centres of Saida, Beirut and Tripoli. This examination highlights key aspects of Lebanon's current political and cultural climate, and emphasises important points of agreement and conflict in contemporary historical discourse. The 1989 Ta'if Accords, for example, which ended the Lebanese Civil War, were accompanied by calls for reinterpretation of how the country's history could assist in creating a sense of national cohesion. The Ottoman Cities of Lebanon is invaluable to all historians and researchers working on Lebanese history and politics, and wider issues of identity, post-imperialist discourse and nationhood in the Middle East."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of Middle East history ;$vv. 63. 606 $2Middle Eastern history 607 $aBeirut (Lebanon)$xHistory$y20th century$xHistoriography 607 $aBeirut (Lebanon)$xHistory$y21st century$xHistoriography 607 $aLebanon$xHistory$y20th century$xHistoriography 607 $aLebanon$xHistory$y21st century$xHistoriography 607 $aSidon (Lebanon)$xHistory$y20th century$xHistoriography 607 $aSidon (Lebanon)$xHistory$y21st century$xHistoriography 607 $aTripoli (Lebanon)$xHistory$y20th century$xHistoriography 607 $aTripoli (Lebanon)$xHistory$y21st century$xHistoriography 676 $a956.92045 700 $aReilly$b James A.$01651700 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821953703321 996 $aThe Ottoman cities of Lebanon$94001805 997 $aUNINA
