This book argues that the modern state, from the nineteenth century
to the contemporary period, has consistently been used as a means
to measure civilizational engagement and attainment. This volume
historicizes this dynamic, examining how it impacted state-making
in Lebanon and Syria. By putting social, political, and economic
pressure on the Ottoman Empire to replicate the modern state in
Europe, the book examines processes of racialization, nationalist
development, continued imperial expansion, and resistance that
became embedded in the state as it was assembled. By historicizing
post-imperial and post-colonial state formation in Lebanon and
Syria, it is possible to engage in a conceptual separation from the
modern state, abandoning the ongoing reproduction of the state as a
standard, or benchmark, of civilization and progress.
