Over the last three decades, Hezbollah has developed from a small
radical organization into a major player in the Lebanese, regional,
and even international political arenas. Its influence in military
issues is well known, but its role in shaping cultural and
political activities has not received enough attention. Kanaaneh
sheds new light on the organization's successful evolution as a
counterhegemonic force in the region's resistance movement, known
as "Maqawama". Founded on the idea that Islam is a resisting
religion, whose real heroes are the poor populations who have
finally decided to take action, Hezbollah has shifted its focus to
advocate for social justice issues and to attract ordinary
activists to its cause. From the mid-1990s on, Hezbollah has built
alliances that allow it to pursue soft power in Lebanon, fighting
against both the dominant Shi'ite elites and the Maronite-Sunni, as
well as Israeli and US influence in the region. Kanaaneh argues
that this perpetual resistance - military as well as cultural and
political - is fundamental to Hezbollah's continued success.
