On August 4, 2020, the city of Beirut was struck by a blast after roughly four tons of ammonium nitrate exploded in the capitals port. The explosion has left an insurmountable impact on the psychological, emotional, and financial wellbeing on the residents of Beirut which is still yet to be explored (UNFPA, 2020). Because, in Lebanon, trauma-related mental health dysfunction must be examined in light of the layers of piled up wars, traumas and complexities over the years, the present study moved away from the traditional post-traumatic stress disorder paradigm used in much of trauma research. It aims to explore the narratives of the survivors of the Beirut blast in relation to past war-related traumatic memories, among which experiencing the on-going disappearance of a loved one during the Lebanese Civil War era. Its purpose is to further fathom the conceptualization that the individuals have created considering these traumas, their personal explanation about what happened, their diff ...

Set against the background of post-1967 Lebanon, this novel caused a sensation in the Arab world because of its frank and realistic descriptions of Lebanon's--and particularly Lebanese women's--problems. Tragedy awaits Tamina, who is drawn by the lure of the city to leave her Shia Muslim village for the university in Beirut. Injured in a student demonstration, she is rescued by a young Maronite, Hani, who speaks convincingly of the dangers of anarchy and revolution. But once recovered, she is dazzled and seduced by the revolutionary journalist Ramzi. Disillusionment follows. Tamina eventually returns to Hani, to her studies, and to her work with the poorest of Lebanese and with Palestinian refugees. The tragic climax of the book foreshadows the terrible events in Lebanon in 1975.

A twelve-year-old girl writes an essay that extols revenge to impress her teacher, and is surprised to receive criticism rather than praise. 'Revenge', Mrs Nomy insists, is 'the most cowardly' human behaviour. Years later, having fled Beirut, she reflects upon the devastating role revenge has played in her country. Might she have found it so easy to forgive if she had stayed? Or might she, too, have contemplated retribution? A compelling and humane book, which abounds in courage and compassion. 'One of those rare books that leaves its readers able to breathe more deeply, with a renewed sense that life, for all its cruelties, is beautiful.' Maggie Gee 'A writer, artist and publisher who took her passion for life, controversy and feminism to the streets of Beirut and London.' Malu Halasa, Guardian 'A tangled and creative mix of memoir, fiction, recollection, old-fashioned yarn-spinning, postmodern pastiche, literary criticism and methodically plotted political essay.'

Cathy Sultan combines vital history and vivid personal interviews to relate the lives of the oft-ignored civilians of southern Lebanon and northern Israel during the July war of 2006 and its aftermath. She documents how thousands of area residents have been victimized by the hawkish, shortsighted policy decisions of Israel, Lebanon and the United States. Throughout the book, these narratives of mothers, soldiers, activists and ambulance drivers on both sides are memorable for their detail, honesty and the deep sense of tragedy they relate.Tragedy in South Lebanon also addresses the media treatment of the war, systematically dispelling common myths about the region perpetuated by government and main-stream sources. Sultan discusses how divisive factions within the current Lebanese government leave the country teetering on the brink of yet more violence, imploring government officials on all sides to act with foresight, compassion and responsibility. Features include a chronology of Lebanese history, maps depicting wartime activity and a glossary of Middle Eastern terms.

As Beirut exploded with the bombs and violence of a ruthless civil war in the ’80s, a nine-year-old Salma Abdelnour and her family fled Lebanon to start a new life in the States. Ever since then—even as she built a thriving career as a food and travel writer in New York City—Salma has had a hunch that Beirut was still her home. She kept dreaming of moving back—and finally decided to do it. But could she resume her life in Beirut, so many years after her family moved away? Could she, or anyone for that matter, ever really go home again? Jasmine and Fire is Salma’s poignant and humorous journey of trying to resettle in Beirut and fumbling through the new realities of life in one of the world’s most complex, legendary, ever-vibrant, ever-troubled cities. What’s more, in a year of roiling changes around the Middle East and the rise of the Arab Spring, Salma found herself in the midst of the turmoil. As she comes to grips with all the changes in her life—a love left behind in New York and new relationships blossoming in Beirut—Salma takes comfort in some of Lebanon’s enduring traditions, particularly its extraordinary food culture. Through the sights, sounds, and flavors of a city full of beauty, tragedy, despair, and hope, Salma slowly begins to reconnect with the place she’s longed for her entire life.

The people of Lebanon will see a lot of change as the future becomes present. The country has overcome adversity in all phases, and it will continue to overcome. As the first 100 years ends, and the next 100 years await, the generations forthcoming will have a lot more pressure to sustain an environment that is fair and just. The people that have run this country will no longer be around. People will die, and they will be replaced by people who will take on the responsibility of leadership. Nobody lives forever. If Lebanon can maintain its peace, then the generations forthcoming will have a much easier time to lead. The memories of the 1975-1990 civil war will fade away and the people living in future generations will not have much connection to their forefathers that died on the battle ground. If you look at the world today, there is no living World War 1 veteran. They have all died and moved to heaven. The last living World War 1 veteran died in 2012. That means there is no living connection in the entire world left from that phase of time, in terms of people that were on the battleground. With no living connection left, the last link of World War 1 is now gone, and all that are left are memories and stories of how it was back then. The great-great grandchildren of those soldiers are living in present day, many of them never meeting their great-great grandfathers, the soldiers that survived the war. A soldier that was 18 years old when he went to war but survived, may have died in the 1950s or even the 1960s. His great-great grandchildren may not have been born until the 1980s or 1990s. This new generation doesn't know the horrifying life of the past, of World War 1 and how that war decimated Europe at that time.In the present, people travel the world and interact with one another. Descendants from countries of the Allied Powers interact with the descendants from countries of the Central Powers. Americans and Canadians interact with Germans and Bulgarians. The world has changed, the hate of that time is now gone. The fighting happened, and then the world moved on. Lebanon is at a stage where it needs to move forward. After all that has happened, the civil war, the war of 2006, the economic meltdown, the 2020 explosion that shocked the world. Lebanon has future generations that need to move on, put the hate and disorganization in the past, and make the country the best it can be. The Lebanon of the future will be unlike the Lebanon of the past. At some point before the year 2030, Lebanon will have a leader that will take the country to new heights and into prominence it has not seen in its history. At one-point heaven on earth, and at one-point hell on earth. The leader that comes forward and does right by the people, he will be loved and respected. His legacy will live on the next 100 years as the man who made change happen. This is now the time for that leader to emerge. Lebanon has had countless leaders assassinated or pushed out of office due to public pressure amid corruption. The people need a man they can trust. The people need a man that will be their voice on a united front. By the year 2100, there will be no living soldiers from the civil war of 1975-1990. There will only be stories in history books and schools teaching the students of how things were. The further we get away from that war, the more society in Lebanon will be able to move forward and the hate will dissipate. But people don't want to wait until the end of this century to realize what Lebanon can be. They don't want to wait for change. Life is too short; they want that change now! That change is forthcoming. In other countries, although politicians are known for getting away with alleged corruption to some degree, eventually the truth comes to bare. But with the Lebanon of the past, the finger pointing doesn't stop. The strongest and most resilient humans on earth, the Lebanese.
