Often demonized by the Western media and press, Hezbollah's origins
are rooted in activities of the Lebanese Shi`a in the late 1970s
and early 80s. Covering the Shi`a: English Press Representation of
the Lebanese Shi`a 1975-1985 chronicles how the English-language
press and media represented the most consequential group in Lebanon
to Western audiences during the critical period of 1975-1985.
Focusing on three of the most prominent English-language newspapers
at that time, the book outlines how the Western media frequently
disregarded the Shi`i civil rights movement in Lebanon. Conflating
that movement with other Arab independence campaigns, the Western
media missed key aspects and the dynamics at work in the Lebanese
Shi`i community. Additionally, in failing to understand and report
the nature of the transnational networks that supported the Shi`i
community in Lebanon, the resultant news narrative reported in the
English-language media was at odds with the narratives harbored by
the Lebanese Shi`a themselves. In order to gain an understanding of
the operations of Lebanese Hezbollah today, and the current media
coverage of the organization, this book offers insights on the
origins of Shi`a resistance and how one can evaluate the group
today.
