Against a celebratory reminiscence of the "golden years", Beirut's long 1960s is conceived of as a liminal juncture, an anxious time and space when the city held out promises at once politically radical and radically cosmopolitan. Zeina Maasri examines the transnational circuits that animated Arab modernist pursuits, shedding light on key cultural transformations that saw Beirut develop as a Mediterranean site of tourism and leisure, a nexus between modern art and pan-Arab publishing and, through the rise of the Palestinian Resistance, a node in revolutionary anti-imperialism. Drawing on uncharted archives of printed media this book expands the scope of historical analysis of the postcolonial Arab East"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Art and society $z Beirut. $z Beirut. 650 0 $a Modernism (Art) $z Beirut. $z Beirut. 650 0 $a Cosmopolitanism $z Beirut. $z Beirut. 650 0 $a Design $z Beirut. $z Beirut. 650 0 $a Book design $z Beirut. $z Beirut. 650 0 $a Decolonization in art. 650 0 $a Visual communication $x Political aspects $z Beirut. $z Beirut. 651 0 $a Beirut (Lebanon) $x Civilization $y 20th century. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Maasri, Zeina $t Cosmopolitan radicalism $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781108767736 $w (DLC) 2019051254 830 0 $a Global Middle East (Cambridge, England) 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302015916.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=693C06AA1DA411EBAAA0CA112BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
