- This book uses interdisciplinary and novel approaches to study Hizbullah's political communication strategy and its use of language and visual over a 30-year period. The book expands knowledge about non-state actors in non-Western contexts to understand how the group managed to maintain support through its instrumentalisation of cultural meaning. The book offers the first original analysis of the centrality of communication to political practices of non-state actors and addresses the interweaving of image and language and their use to maintain the group's credibility over a period of time.
