THIS PRESCIENT AND
timely book documents Noam Chomsky's visit to
Lebanon, in May 2006, to lecture on U.S.
imperialism and the imminent crises facing the
Middle East two months before Israel orchestrated
major military campaigns against Lebanon and
Palestine. During his visit he met with political
leaders, including those of Hizbullah, toured
refugee camps, and inspected a former Israeli
prison and torture compound.
Inside Lebanon
describes Chomsky's journey and situates it within
the tragically altered context of Lebanon and
Palestine before and after the war of 2006. It
situates Israel's attacks and the position of
Hizbullah and Hamas in this conflict while at the
same time providing a record of events during the
war, linking the conflicts on the ground to the
global order.
Inside Lebanon
includes essays and photographs by Carol Chomsky,
Irene L. Gendzier, Assaf Kfoury, Jennifer
Loewenstein, Hanady Salman, Rasha Salti, and Fawwaz
Traboulsi and provides an analysis of the
socio-political conditions of people in Lebanon,
Gaza, and refugee camps.
