Resumo

The Hezbollah Suburbs Alternative Images of Post-War Beirut The headquarters of the Hezbollah Shiite political party in the southern suburbs of Beirut is presented to the world as a centre of instability. Precise rules govern, however, social and economic life inside this ghetto-like area. The political movement is backed up by a powerful symbolic arsenal of posters, slogans and a TV channel that pervades public space and keeps the fighting spirit alive against Israel and the West.
