Mohanad Hage Ali: Nationalism, Transnationalism, and Political Islam, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book sheds light on how Hizbullah has transformed religious rituals and supernatural narratives in order to mobilize the Shi a community. The author examines how Hizbullah has altered its institutional structure and reconstructed Lebanese Shi a history in a manner similar to that of nationalist movements. Through fieldwork and research, the project finds that Hizbullah has centralized around the concept of Wilayat al-Fagih (Gaurdianship of the Islamic Jurists): in essence, the absolute authority of Iran s Supreme Leader over the Shi a nation.
