Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Nucho writes about the working-class predominantly ethnic Armenian Beirut suburb called Bourj Hammoud. Based on extensive field research, she explores how in everyday life, institutions, especially the infrastructure layers crisscrossing the community, interact with sectarianism... The book's strength is bringing to life the rich complexity of this densely packed community."--Choice
