Lebanese Civil War literature

Lebanese Civil War literature encompasses writings—novels, poetry, essays, and memoirs—that reflect and analyze Lebanon's devastating 1975-1990 conflict. These works explore themes like identity, sectarian division, trauma, loss, and the country's complex history. They serve as a means to process collective suffering, critique violence, and seek understanding amidst chaos. By giving voice to diverse perspectives, the literature helps contextualize the war’s impact on individuals and society, functioning as both historical record and a tool for reconciliation and reflection.
