For the War Yet to Come - by Hiba Bou Akar (Paperback)

The book "For the War Yet to Come" is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of urban planning in Beirut, Lebanon.

The author, Hiba Bou Akar, delves into the complexities of sectarian divisions and their impact on the city's neighborhoods.

Through a feminist and postcolonial lens, she reveals how urban planning has become a tool for reinforcing these divisions, rather than a means of promoting peaceful coexistence.

The book is filled with vivid descriptions of the city and its residents, as well as in-depth analysis of the political and economic factors driving the conflict.

A must-read for anyone interested in urban planning, politics, and the complexities of the Middle East.
