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. 606 $aShi??ah$zLebanon 606 $aStatus (Law)$zLebanon 606 $aReligion and state$zLebanon 607 $aLebanon$xEthnic relations 615 0$aShi??ah 615 0$aStatus (Law) 615 0$aReligion and state 676 $a305.6/9782095692 700 $aWeiss$b Max$f1977-$0517518 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955632503321 996 $aIn the shadow of sectarianism$9849535 997 $aUNINA
