Whether defined as essentially 'Turkish', and therefore alien to
the Lebanese experience, or remembered in its final years as a
tyrannical and brutal dictatorship, the period has not been thought
of fondly in most Lebanese historiography. 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.
