Intersectarian and interreligious marriages often provoke strong opposition from Lebanese of all sects and faiths. In this talk, Prof. Lara Deeb (Anthropology, Scripps College) will introduce her new book, Love Across Difference: Mixed Marriage in Lebanon. Through mixed couples’ stories and the innovative ways many of them think about social difference and confront patriarchy, Deeb highlights the role of family and close social relationships in reproducing sectarianism and explores its impact on people at the personal level, outside the formal realms of law and politics.
