Abstract

Based on more than two years of ethnographic fieldwork, I will focus on the work of the charities affiliated with the resistance movement in Lebanon. Using a Gramscian framework, I analyze how these charities are challenging Western secularism by re-mystifying liberal economic principles as a means to strengthen the resistance community—a process that is full of internal contradictions. Thus I conclude with some critical thoughts on ‘the resistance’ as a social project in Lebanon today.
