Yet, in recent years the region has become a vibrant and important arena for feminist and LGBTQ activism. This book provides an insight into this emerging politics through a unique analysis of feminist and LGBTQ social movements in the context of Lebanon's postwar sectarian system.\u003ci\u003e Resisting Sectarianism\u003c\/i\u003e argues that LGBTQ and feminists social movements are powerful agents of political and social transformation in Lebanon. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, the book takes the reader inside these movements to see how they attract members and construct campaigns, forge alliances, and the multiple ways in which they generate important forms of resistance to, and change within, the sectarian system.
