This volume, edited by Leyla Dakhli and Klaus Wieland, is an overview of the cultural memory of the Lebanese Civil War,as it has emerged and evolved over the last 30 years. These narratives represent a counter-memory to the non-existentnational memory, undesired by Lebanon's political class. In 1991, the Amnesty Law G84/91 was enacted, granting state power impunity for all war crimes, including crimes againsthumanity. The general amnesty entailed partial amnesia; the war was to be "officially" forgotten. And yet, since the 1990s,nongovernmental organizations, archives, activists, publicists, visual artists, filmmakers, and writers have produced animpressive alternative culture of remembrance of the Lebanese Civil War, which is revisited and analyzed in this book.Contributors represent a multi-disciplinary mix, with perspectives from area studies, history, social science, literary studies,trauma and memory, and peace and conflict studies.
