Abstract

This paper examines We Are History: A People’s History of Lebanon as a case study for pursuing historical justice in post-war contexts. The planner not only satisfies three existing desires—co-creation, polyvocality, and pushing against a singular truth—but also poses the question of the beneficiary of these narratives and digital projects.
