Departing from orientalist accounts that represent sectarianism as a static and primordial conflict of identities, Nucho argues that sectarianism in Lebanon is a modern, relational, and political process of continual (re)construction. In this sense, her account draws from existing literature on the Lebanese state that emphasizes sectarianism’s contingent character (see, for example, Ussama Makdisi 2000; Max Weiss 2010; Suad Joseph 2008). For these scholars, sectarianism is not a given mode of being in the world. Rather, it is a project inseparable from questions of gender, class, geography, and the state, and cannot be “collapsed onto religion or theology” (4).
