The Shiites of Lebanon under Ottoman Rule provides an original
perspective on the history of the Shiites as a constituent of
Lebanese society. Winter presents a history of the community before
the 19th century, based primarily on Ottoman Turkish documents.
From these, he examines how local Shiites were well integrated in
the Ottoman system of rule, and that Lebanon as an autonomous
entity only developed in the course of the 18th century through the
marginalization and then violent elimination of the indigenous
Shiite leaderships by an increasingly powerful Druze-Maronite
emirate. As such the book recovers the Ottoman-era history of a
group which has always been neglected in chronicle-based works, and
in doing so, fundamentally calls into question the historic place
within 'Lebanon' of what has today become the country's largest and
most activist sectarian community.
