Description

Explore the complex connections between urban design and political influence in Ward Vloeberghs' study of Beirut. This volume examines how religious architecture serves as a central stage for power struggles in a modern, multi-confessional society. By focusing on the patronage of Rafiq Hariri and his lasting legacy, the book provides a detailed look at how sacred spaces are used to assert authority and commemorate history. The text traces a 150-year history of the Muhammad al-Amin Mosque, Lebanon's primary Sunni mosque. It analyzes how the site evolved into a venue for commemoration, demonstrating the ways architecture, religion, and politics become visually and discursively linked. This work is a significant addition to the Social, Economic and Political Studies of the Middle East and Asia series, offering deep insights into the social inequalities and political dynamics that shape the built environment of Beirut.
