Too Many Enemies: The Palestinian Experience in Lebanon

Book by Rosemary Sayigh documents the devastating impact of the Lebanese civil war, Israeli invasions, and intra-Palestinian violence on Palestinian refugees in Lebanon in the 1970s and 1980s, based on extensive oral history research with camp residents. Centered on the War of the Camps and Amal sieges of the Palestinian Shatila Refugee Camp in the mid-1980s, Sayigh examines additional context such as the Sabra and Shatila Massacre, and the political and social devastation visited on Lebanon's Palestinian refugee community. An essential account of the Palestinian refugee experience and multiple fronts of vulnerability. Recommended for researchers studying the Palestinian refugee experience in Lebanon, and the political vulnerability of stateless refugee communities in the context of Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990) and Israeli Invasion of Lebanon (1982).
