Una delle difficoltà del lavoro dello storico è quella di dover cercare le fonti in archivi sparsi in quasi ogni angolo del pianeta. Questo vale anche per chi si occupa della modernità siro-libanese. Le fonti di archivio si trovano non solo a Beirut ma nelle varie città mediorentali, in Europa e Nordamerica.

Presentiamo qui una breve audio-guida, in inglese, elaborata da Graham Pitts, studente di dottorato, impegnato in una ricerca sulla storia moderna del Libano. L’audio-guida è presentata sull’ottimo sito di storiografia Ottoman History Podcast gestito da Chris Gratien.

Graham Pitts is a PhD candidate at Georgetown University focusing on Middle East environmental history
Chris Gratien is a PhD candidate studying the history of the modern Middle East at Georgetown University (see academia.edu)
