Dubey M: Esoteric Orientalism

Esoteric Orientalism

Prosecuting the Powerful: War Crimes and the Battle for Justice

From its emergence in seventh century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia and the remote interior of China. From the Arab caliphate to the Mongol empire, from West Africa to the Philippines, Islam was a world-shaping force. By the nineteenth century, Muslims lived everywhere from South Africa to North America. In the age of European empires, through two World Wars and a Cold War, and into the globalised and fractured 21st century, Muslims lived through global conflicts and everyday struggles for adaptation and survival. In Worlds of Islam, historian James McDougall charts the epic global story of Islam's origins and transformations, as Muslims adapted to their changing times from late antiquity to the digital age, constantly remaking their own worlds as the wider world around them changed. Sweeping in scope and colourful in detail, Worlds of Islam shows how Islam's place in the world has been part of how the world - with all its frictions and inequalities, its promises and aspirations - became modern.

A Global History

Worlds of Islam

In the twelfth-century, Pisa was a powerhouse of global trade, a city that stood at the centre of Medieval Europe. But Pisa had a problem. It was running out of coins. In the face of a looming financial crisis, the city's rulers and its moneylenders forged a deal that laid the foundations of the modern state and of present-day banking. In Money and Promises, the distinguished banker and scholar Paolo Zannoni examines the extraordinary relationship between states and banks. He draws upon seven case studies: the republic of twelfth-century Pisa, seventeenth-century Venice, the early years of the Bank of England, Imperial Spain, the Kingdom of Naples, the nascent USA during the American Revolution, and Bolshevik Russia in 1917-21. Spanning a multitude of countries, political systems and historical eras, Zannoni shows that at the heart of our institutions lies an intricate exchange of debt and promises that has shaped the modern world. Featuring pioneering research and original insights, this authoritative yet accessible book explores the vital relationship upon which our financial and political systems still depend.

Semiotics, Communication and Cognition [SCC]

This book addresses disciplinary gaps between work in semiotics and multimodality (fields that have typically centered on the nature of signs/modes or on semiotic artifacts) and situated observational research (traditions that have focused on particular semiotic resources such as talk, gesture, and inscription). Situated, Historical, Embodied Semiosis (SHES) rearticulates these lines of work around understanding semiosis as action, communication, and becoming across temporal-spatial scales. With particular attention to laminated indexical fields, the book offers a multidisciplinary synthesis of Peircean biosemiotics, flat materialist ontologies, dialogic and cultural-historical theory, empirical traditions studying talk, nonverbal communication, and inscriptional practices. It illustrates the SHES framework with examples from the literature and the authors' studies of disciplinary literate activity and communicative diversity (e.g., individuals with aphasia). This unified account of semiotic activity tackles a knotty set of conceptual, methodological, disciplinary, and ideological roadblocks. These roadblocks have impeded a fuller understanding and exploration of semiosis as situated, embodied becoming in material practices in the world.

The 400-Year Fight to End Slavery in the Americas

The Great Resistance

Former USA Today journalist and author of The Chosen Few, Greg Zoroya, reveals the untold story of The Battle of Ramadi, the true start of the war in Iraq that would last seven years, claim thousands of lives and evolve into a traumatic legacy for the US military and its veterans. Their nickname was the Magnificent Bastards and they were warriors without a war. Kept stateside after 9/11 and left floating in the Pacific during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the thousand Marines of the 2nd Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment were told they were bench-warmers as America sent troops into combat. But war was waiting. Iraq would explode in violence exactly one year after a U.S.-led Coalition swept into Baghdad and the Magnificent Bastards would find themselves at the epicenter. Yet when the battalion first arrived in the provincial capital of Ramadi, Iraq, in February of 2004, the assigned mission for the Marines and sailors would be little more than handing out candy, smiling and making friends with a conquered people. Instead, they were thrust into a savage battle where hundreds of insurgents organized a three-day offensive aimed at driving the Marines out of their city of 400,000. Along with the violence that broke out across Iraq in April of 2004, the fight in Ramadi marked the true beginning of a war that would go on for another seven years and claim thousands of American lives. In Unremitting, journalist Gregg Zoroya tells the fast-paced, dramatic, meticulously-researched, and poignant story of the battle that truly began the Iraq War. Capturing the heroism, courage, and brutality of battle, Zoroya explores this vital part of American military history and beyond, showing how Ramadi was not just a game-changer for the Iraq War, but also for the soldiers who fought it, the trauma remaining with survivors more than two decades later.

Unremitting

This volume explores the changing field of cultural history to map out its new developments and future directions, covering major themes such as environment, digitization, heritage and identity.

Cultural History for a Changing World

"Over a quarter of the world's urban population lives in informal settlements. While informality as a concept has been widely debated, it is still in need of a definitive account, which is what this agenda-setting coedited volume sets out to provide. Arguing that informality was vital to urban development across the globe, the editors and contributors reveal informality as an intrinsic feature of urbanity, capable of illuminating processes of state formation, socioeconomic stratification, and political struggle. The volume brings together cases from Latin America (Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, and Mexico), Northern Africa (Morocco and Algiers), and Latin Europe (France, Spain, and Italy) to dispel the notion that urban informality exists only in the Global South. Topics range from attempts to legitimize informal settlements to grassroots efforts to build and save them and the role of racial and ethnic discrimination in their governance. Informal Cities is an indispensable guide to the complex and fraught terrain of urban informality in its many guises"--

Global Diasporas

The African diaspora is widely recognized as one of the world's major diasporas. Until now, most existing studies have focused almost exclusively on the Atlantic world, but this inclusive volume considers other key dimensions of the phenomenon.
