Exploring the intersections of visual culture, design and politics in 1960s Beirut, this compelling and original study examines a critical period in Lebanon's history, now celebrated as the 'golden age'. It draws from uncharted archives of visual and print culture, filling a major gap in the literature on the history of the postcolonial Arab East.
