This book sheds light on how Hizbullah has transformed religious rituals and supernatural narratives in order to mobilize the Shi'a community. The author examines how Hizbullah has altered its institutional structure and reconstructed Lebanese Shi'a history in a manner similar to that of nationalist movements. Through fieldwork and research, the project finds that Hizbullah has centralized around the concept of Wilayat al-Fagih (Gaurdianship of the Islamic Jurists): in essence, the absolute authority of Iran's Supreme Leader over the Shi'a "nation."
Mohanad Hage Ali is a political journalist and was previously based at the London School of Economics and Political Science where he researched conflict studies and Islamic movements. He covers the Middle East for Al-Hayat newspaper. Dr. Hage Ali’s articles have appeared in The Guardian, The Washington Post, and Foreign Policy magazine.
