Description: Chad Elias analyzes a generation of artists working in Lebanon who interrogate Lebanon's civil war (1975-1990), showing how their appropriation and creation of images challenge divisive political discourse, give a voice to those silenced and forgotten, and provide the means to reimagine Lebanon's future.

Review Quotes: "Sophisticated and carefully researched . . . . The significance of [Elias's] book for current Anglophone art history is its in-depth and rewarding analysis of a context outside the usual terms of reference."--Tom Snow "Art Monthly"
