    This chapter outlines the socioeconomic and political conditions that underlie the civil strife of 1860. It scrutinizes the claims al-Bustani made in Nafir Suriyya and offers alternative readings beyond tribal, communal, and sectarian prejudice, including elite rivalries, class conflict, imperial reform, and foreign intervention.
