The Lebanese civil war, which spanned the years of 1975 to
1990,caused the migration of hundreds of thousands of Lebanese
citizens, many of whom are still writing of their experiences.
Jumana Bayeh presents an important and major study of the
literature of the Lebanese diaspora. Focusing on novels and
writings produced in the aftermath of Lebanon's protracted civil
war, Bayeh explores the complex relationships between place,
displacement and belonging, and illuminates the ways in which these
writings have shaped a global Lebanese identity. Combining history
with sociology, Bayeh examines how the literature borne out of this
expatriate community reflects a Lebanese diasporic imaginary that
is sensitive to the entangled associations of place and identity.
Paving the way for new approaches to understanding diasporic
literature and identity, this book will be vital for researchers of
migration studies and Middle Eastern literature, as well as those
interested in the cultures, history and politics of the Middle
East.
