Living in Refuge - Leonardo Schiocchet Kartoniert (TB)

This comparative ethnography of a Muslim and a Christian Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon focuses on contrasting social belonging processes through a ritualization approach. Leonardo Schiocchet argues that contrasts emerge out of the intersectionality of religiosity nationhood refugeeness and politics and synthesizes academic research on piety and moral self-cultivation and on the everyday life of religious communities. He contributes to the literature on refugees at large and Palestinian refugees in particular with the unique dense socio-historical portrait of two refugee camps for wh ich there is almost no recorded literature.
