Contesting Consociationalism in Bosnia–Herzegovina and Lebanon
This paper contributes to theorizing how citizens articulate discontent with consociational politics in divided societies by offering a comparative analysis of protest frames across popular movements in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Lebanon. It first detects central differences in how protesters criticize the system, propose alternative politics, and construct collective identities. It then argues that these divergences in frames can be understood with …
Mapping the Relationships Between Sect and Class
Recently, scholarship on divided societies has come to focus increasingly on how sect and ethnicity intersect with other social identities. This article examines the relationship between sect and class in Lebanon, Bosnia–Herzegovina, Northern Ireland, and Iraq, identifying four types of sect-class interplay: (1) Class as competing with sect, (2) Class subordinate to sect, (3) Class moderating sectarianism, and (4) Sectarianization of class differ…
What does it mean to oppose sectarianism? An ordinary language study among Lebanese across social backgrounds
Within the literature on identity politics and divided societies, scholars have increasingly focused on how to conceptualize challenges and antitheses to sectarianism. Recent publications have expanded our theoretical understanding of terms such as non-sectarian and anti-sectarian, which are widely used in academic analyses of protests and social movements in divided societies like Lebanon. However, less research has explored the everyday concept…
Unity through separation
Within the field of social movement studies, scholars have devoted increasing attention to how protesters reclaim and organize public spaces. Case studies reveal that protesters often split up larger reclaimed spaces by drawing internal, sometimes invisible, boundaries. So far, however, the subdivision of protest spaces remains an under-theorized phenomenon. Through a case study of Lebanon’s 2019 October Uprising, this article contributes to dise…
Strategic innovation and mobilization barriers
This paper addresses the potential for labor movements to drive popular opposition in countries where ruling elites dominate civil society and public institutions. While past studies have examined factors enabling labor groups to take on such roles, fewer studies explore instances where activists have attempted to use labor mobilization for broader socio-economic struggles but failed to mobilize. The paper fills this gap by examining a Lebanese c…
Resisting sectarianism
From Kandahar to bride
During the Lebanese 2019 uprising, the country's second‐largest city, Tripoli, became portrayed as the “bride of the revolution.” This portrayal was seen to break with the city's former stigma as a hotbed of extremism. However, as this article shows, local protesters were not unambiguously happy with this portrayal. Based on interviews with 30 protesters and fieldwork observations, the article seeks to understand the critical views of this narrat…
Promoting Inclusivity in Anti-Sectarian Protests
This article contributes to explaining limitations to the inclusivity of protest movements against sectarianism through a case study of the 2019 Lebanese October Uprising. The study scrutinizes the challenges key organizers in Beirut faced when seeking to address issues of inclusivity concerning residents from two Shiʿite majority communities in and around the city. Engaging social movement theories on intersectionality and political opportunity …
The Development and Negotiation of Frames During Non-sectarian Mobilizations in Lebanon
This paper explores the processes whereby organizers of non-sectarian mobilizations frame grievances against the sectarian system in Lebanon. While previous studies on non-sectarian mobilizations have mainly focused on explaining how the sectarian system in Lebanon constrains the outcomes of non-sectarian mobilizations, the paper draws attention to the agency of activists during the process of mobilizations. It analyzes framing processes in two c…
