SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
More than 20 years after the end of Lebanon's civil war (1975-1990), reconciliation remains elusive. A number of factors contribute to this stasis. No agreed-upon historical narrative exists by which Lebanon's 18 ethnoreligious groups can make sense of the war, and the state has interests-both economic and political-for burying common memories and erasing common spaces. In light of these erasures, the capital Beirut, like much of the country, remains divided along spatial, ideological, and mnemonic lines.
