Further, this study addresses the current crisis in Syria, locating Syrian women's and men's laments today, including those from Muslim background. These laments show both continuity with ancient lament traditions and creative lyrical innovations that speak to the Syrian people's urgent, devastating situation and their united need for help and justice.
