Oxfam bookshop knutsford focusing on ottoman lebanon, ussama makdisi shows how sectarianism was a manifestation of modernity that transcended the physical boundaries of a particular countrymakdisi highlights how european colonialism and orientalism, with their emphasis on christian salvation and islamic despotism, and ottoman and local nationalisms each created and used narratives of sectarianism as foils to their own visions of modernity and to their own projects of colonial, imperial, and national developmentmakdisi's book is important to our understanding of lebanese society today, but it also makes a significant contribution to the discussion of the importance of religious discourse in the formation and dissolution of social and national identities in the modern worldhis study challenges those who have viewed sectarian violence as an islamic response to westernization or simply as a product of social and economic inequities among religious groupsmakdisi argues that sectarianism represented a deliberate mobilization of religious identities for political and social purposesthe religious violence of the nineteenth century, which culminated in sectarian mobilizations and massacres in , was a complex, multilayered, subaltern expression of modernization, he says, not a primordial reaction to itthe ottoman reform movement launched in and the growing european presence in the middle east contributed to the disintegration of the traditional lebanese social order based on a hierarchy that bridged religious differences condition good, some minor warping to front cover as can be seen in digital imagesee oxfam website for delivery information read more
