Exploring the intersections of visual culture, design and politics
in Beirut from the late 1950s to the mid-1970s, this compelling
interdisciplinary study critically examines a global conjuncture in
Lebanon's history, marked by anticolonial struggle and complicated
by a Cold War order. Against a celebratory reminiscence of the
'golden years', Beirut's long 1960s is conceived of as a liminal
juncture, an anxious time and space when the city held out promises
at once politically radical and radically cosmopolitan. Zeina
Maasri examines the transnational circuits that animated Arab
modernist pursuits, shedding light on key cultural transformations
that saw Beirut develop as a Mediterranean site of tourism and
leisure, a nexus between modern art and pan-Arab publishing and,
through the rise of the Palestinian Resistance, a node in
revolutionary anti-imperialism. Drawing on uncharted archives of
printed media this book expands the scope of historical analysis of
the postcolonial Arab East.
