Freedom and identity: Levantine sovereignty and solidarity

20.0$

Amid the ruins of French and British colonialism in the Levant and under the weight of post-independence regimes that reproduced oppression in new forms, an existential question continues tr resurface with each generation: Who are we? And where does freedom lie in the equation of identity? In this profound intellectual work, the author sheds light on how sectarianism has been deliberately engineered as a political tool to sow division and extend control. He explores how Levantine national consciousness was weakened in favor of fragmented sub-identities that were politicized and deliberately nurtured. The book also examines the impact of Western colonialism, ruling elites, and manufactured divisions in distorting the state-building project and obstructing the path to genuine liberation. Freedom and Identity is not merely a political critique; it is a sincere call to redefine the collective self of the people of the Levant, not as warring sects, but as Levantine communities “Mashriqiyyin,” United by culture, language, and history, and aspiring toward a future of genuine justice and sovereignty.
