A House of Many Mansions

Salibi offers a major reinterpretation of Lebanese history and provides remarkable insights into the dynamic of Lebanon's recent conflict. In so doing, he illuminates important facets of his country's present and future. This book also gives a masterly account of how the imagined communities that underlie modern nationalism are created and will be of interest to students of international affairs as well as Near Eastern scholars.

Today Lebanon is one of the world's most divided countries. But paradoxically the faction-ridden Lebanese, both Christians and Muslims, have never shown a keener consciousness of common identity. How can this be? In the light of modern scholarship, a famous Lebanese writer and scholar examines the historical myths on which his country's warring communities have based their conflicting visions of the Lebanese nation. He shows that Lebanon cannot afford this divisiveness, that in order to develop and maintain a sense of political unity, it is necesary to distinuish fact from fiction and then build on what is real in the common experience of both groups.

“...history is not merely a search for knowledge. It is also a search for understanding; and the house of understanding has many mansions."基于宗教信仰文化，黎巴嫩各民族人没有共同的历史认同感，这样强如苏联也有解体的一天，反而是中美这方面压制的最好（明着暗着高压迫）| 由于是作者的博士论文集所以写作语言稍晦涩啰嗦，读的太慢周期太长已经读到了物是人非的地步
