This article explores the process of transgressive activation of Jabal ʿAmil’s (Ǧabal ʿĀmil) tobacco growers, in South Lebanon, during the decade preceding the outbreak of the Civil War (1975–1990). Prompted by the material backlashes of the coeval reengineering of the tobacco economy by the Régie monopoly, the mobilization rapidly evolved from a collective demand for better purchase prices and licensing policies to a broad-based confrontation ag…

This new working class was made pr…
