On this week’s episode of the podcast, Anne Kirstine Rønn of the Aarhus University joins Marc Lynch to discuss her book, Anatomy of an Opposition: The Struggle Against Sectarianism in Postwar Lebanon. The book traces the anatomy of these diverse movements, examining their key characteristics, strategies, and internal tensions. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts, it analyses how resistance against sectarianism unfolds across five key fields: electoral politics, labour and class, urban space, gender and sexuality, and migration and refugee rights.
