Reconstruction as Violence in Assad's Syria

Summer 2026

Nasser Rabbat · American University in Cairo Press · 2025

This book delves into the complex interplay of post-conflict reconstruction in Syria, challenging the traditionally held dichotomy between the end of violence and the commencement of rebuilding. The contributors to this volume, architects, urbanists, geographers, and historians, employ critical concepts such as urbicide, domicide, and "civilian crisis architecture" to argue against the conventional theoretical frameworks that support a neat separation of phases.
