The Palestinian Impasse in Lebanon

"This book investigates the social and political orientation of ordinary Lebanese citizens toward the Palestinian presence in Lebanon, as well as the Palestinian refugees' perceptions of their situation and status. In addressing an important, current humanitarian issue Haddad tackles common conceptions about attitudes toward Palestinian permanent settlement in Lebanon. His findings not only contribute to the larger debate on Palestinian refugee resettlement throughout the Middle East, but provide a wealth of new data and original and insightful analysis."--Jacket.
