What kind of decolonial possibilities exist in today's world? Exploring the rise of Shi'i activism in Lebanon and the Middle East, and drawing transnational parallels with other revolutionary religious struggles in Latin America and South Africa, Sarah Marusek offers a timely analysis of the social and political evolution of Islamic movements. From colonial authorities, to authoritarian governments, and occupation forces, Islamic movements have long existed in opposition to a number of different forces. Whilst this opposition has often been contradictory, the growing popularity of Islamic movements means that many groups are now also gaining increasing economic and political powers. Based on more than two years of ethnographic fieldwork in Lebanon, following the Islamic Resistance movement and Hizbullah, Marusek paints a picture of how resistance is lived and reproduced, and where resistance and power clash.Faith and Resistance discusses the possibility for resistance groups to reconcile acquiring power with their decolonial aspirations. In doing so, it will act as a guide for liberation struggles and those engaged in resistance the world over.
