"Lords of the Lebanese Marches" looks at relations between
different forms of power, violence and hierarchy in Akkar, the
northernmost province of Lebanon, during the 1970s. Often regarded
as "backward" and "feudal," in reality this area was controlled
mainly by groups with important roles in government and business in
Beirut. Using both material collected during his stay in Akkar and
a variety of historical sources, Gilsenan analyzes the practices
that guaranteed the rule of the large landowners and traces shifts
in the discourses of domination in the area. He also examines the
importance of narratives and rhetoric in constituting social honor,
collective biography and shared memory/forgetting.
