This thesis is a study of the Shi'i community of Lebanon. The thrust of the study is the political development of the Shi'a in the light of certain past events. The Shi'a, otherwise known as Matawila, are admitted to be the poorest of the Lebanese communities, materially and educationally. They are almost totally dependent on a small upper class of notables who derive their power from land as well as financial enterprises, and by exploiting their "clients" through control of their resources.
