This book examines the legacy of Lebanon's civil war and how the
population, and the youth in particular, are dealing with their
national past. Drawing on extensive qualitative research and social
observation, the author explores the efforts of those who wish to
remember, so as not to repeat past mistakes, and those who wish to
forget. In considering how the Lebanese youth are negotiating this
collective memory, Larkin addresses issues of: Lebanese post-war
amnesia and the gradual emergence of new memory discourses and
public debates Lebanese nationalism and historical memory visual
memory and mnemonic landscapes oral memory and post-war narratives
war memory as an agent of ethnic conflict and a tool for
reconciliation and peace-building. trans-generational trauma or
postmemory. Shedding new light on trauma and the persistence of
ethnic and religious hostility, this book offers a unique insight
into Lebanon's recurring communal tensions and a fresh perspective
on the issue of war memory. As such, this is an essential addition
to the existing literature on Lebanon and will be relevant for
scholars of sociology, Middle East studies, anthropology, politics
and history.
