    But whatever measures they took, the Lebanese authorities were viewed as over-tolerant by rightist Lebanese nationalists. Anthropologists would call for more nuanced interpretations of cultural processes in camps, with more attention to camp environments urban or rural , to occupation and income levels, and to cultural debates omnipresent among camp populations.
