The Alawis of Syria provides a wide-ranging exploration of the cultural and historical hinterland of Syria's powerful Shia minority, from loyalist gangs (Shabiha) to outspoken critics of the regime. Themes covered include religious practice, social identities, and relations to the Ba'ath party, the Syrian state, and the military apparatus.
