- This book is based on more than 10 years’ research on social movements. It draws on extensive fieldwork conducted by the author in Beirut and Belfast, including more than 50 interviews conducted with social movement activists, policymakers, politicians. The book highlights how a range of social movements – LGBTQ, feminist, victims, labour groups – are able to transcend sectarian and ethnic divisions in postwar societies and contribute to social change and peacebuilding. To analyse these issues, the book develops a broad span of social theory. Familiarity with two fieldsites and the range of material covered underlies the case for double-weighting.
