Description
On today's episode we discuss what happened to Beirut's City Centre after the Civil War in Lebanon. We take a look at how the land was reclaimed after the conflict, who was served best by the expropriation of land, and the consequences that the reconstruction had for regular citizens. Please join us, as Professor Kevin Lewis O'Neill sits down with Professor Nada Moumtaz, from the University of Toronto. -- This podcast is sponsored by the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies at the University of Toronto.
