摘要

To understand Hassan Nasrallah and the Hezbollah phenomenon in Lebanon, it is necessary to explore the historical roots that have shaped the Shiite community in the country. The political and social trajectory of the Shiite community is one of the most transformative narratives in the modern history of the Middle East. It is a story that moves from deep historical marginalisation to eventual political and military dominance, a journey catalysed by internal social shifts and external geopolitical shocks. The arrival of Imam Musa al-Sadr in 1959 was a critical turning point, transforming a politically ‘quietist’ and socioeconomically ‘dispossessed’ community into a mobilised political force.
