The Crime of Writing

Narratives and Shared Meanings in Criminal Cases in Baathist Syria

About this book

This book gives a unique portrait of Syrian society through the workings of its criminal records in the three decades prior to outbreak of the civil war in 2011. Based on actual crime files from Aleppo and Idlib, in addition to extensive interviews with criminal detainees, lawyers, judges, and court experts, this study manages an in-depth account of Syria under the Baathist rule of the two Asad régimes.
