- Power, sect and state in Syria (2016) is an anthropological monograph (circa 100,000 words). It is based on two years of fieldwork among the Druze community, dancers and state actors in the first ethnography of the Syrian Druze. As well as providing a nuanced insight into the organisation of Druze society, and the trope of marriage as a culturally specific and politically mediated form of relating in pre-war Syria, it makes a critical contribution to the anthropology of the Middle East, the state and the mobilisation of sectarianism in what became the international and hegemonic ’struggle for Syria’.
