The Middle East is often portrayed as oppressively patriarchal and
homophobic. Yet, in recent years the region has become a vibrant
and important arena for feminist and LGBTQ activism. This book
provides an insight into this emerging politics through a unique
analysis of feminist and LGBTQ social movements in the context of
Lebanon's postwar sectarian system. Resisting Sectarianism argues
that LGBTQ and feminists social movements are powerful agents of
political and social transformation in Lebanon. Drawing on
extensive ethnographic fieldwork, the book takes the reader inside
these movements to see how they attract members and construct
campaigns, forge alliances, and the multiple ways in which they
generate important forms of resistance to, and change within, the
sectarian system. The book also traces the strong obstacles that
sectarian parties and religious authorities employ to weaken LGBTQ
and feminist activism.
