Christian-Muslim Relations, Women, and Religion

Abstract

How are these developments affecting women in Saghbine and throughout other parts of the country?¹ I conducted an updated fieldwork in Lebanon in the summers from 2008 to 2010. I spent the summer of 2008 in Beirut, and from there I traveled to different cities and villages in order to examine first-hand the changes, to analyze them in terms of Western modernity as well as in terms of Islamic resurgence that occurred recently in the lives of urban and rural women there.
