I am about to start an ethnographic study and the first steps involved is to learn about the contxt of the place I'm about to visit. My ethnographic study is located in a public school in Sidon. A city in south Lebanon. I have lived in the country for the longest time and have lived in Sidon for 4 years. I also spent 1 year teaching in the same school. Nevertheless, I felt the need to read thoroughly about the different aspects of that place. I began my search in the Library and those are some of the titled I checked out:
1)A house of many mansions: The history of Lebanon reconsidered by Kamal Salibi
2) Political parties in Lebanon by M Suleiman
3) Lebanon, Improbable nation by L Meo
