The book's essays use the concept as an animating principle within a variety of sites across Lebanon and its diasporas and over a range of historical periods. With contributions from historians and anthropologists, this volume reveals the many ways sectarianism is used to exhibit, imagine, or contest power: What forms of affective pull does it have on people and communities? What epistemological work does it do as a concept? How does it function as a marker of social difference?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamining social interaction, each essay analyzes how people experience sectarianism, sometimes pushing back, sometimes evading it, sometimes deploying it strategically, to a variety of effects and consequences. The collection advances an understanding of sectarianism simultaneously constructed and experienced, a slippery and changeable concept with material effects. And even as the book's focus is Lebanon, its analysis fractures the association of sectarianism with the nation-state and suggests possibilities that can travel to other sites. \u003ci\u003ePracticing Sectarianism\u003c\/i\u003e, taken as a whole, argues that sectarianism can only be fully understood—and dismantled—if we first take it seriously as a practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: Practicing Sectarianism in Lebanon\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e-Lara Deeb, Tsolin Nalbantian, and Nadya Sbaiti\u003cbr\u003e  1.
