Memoirs of locals: daily life under the Lebanese Civil War

🇱🇧 Lebanon

Over 15 years, residents of Lebanon endured the war in many varied ways, yet they are all bound by commonalities: be it stories of survival, resistance, or immigration, authors express loss, fond memories, and a complicated love-hate relationship with their homeland. Their individual stories often evoke universal feelings, and provide the personal lens through which they understood their surroundings (or didn’t).
