Complexities of Lebanese Politics Under French Colonialism
This chapter explores how French colonialism shaped Lebanese politics, leading to the creation of Lebanon with a Christian majority state. It discusses the challenges of integrating different religious and ethnic groups, the implementation of a consociational system that favored Maronite elites, and the transformation of the Lebanese political landscape from a class-based dynamic to sectarian conflict. The chapter also delves into post-colonial Lebanon's struggles with sectarian and class divisions, identity crises, and efforts by figures like Kamal Jumblat to challenge the entrenched sectarian system.
