Muhammad al-Ghazali and the Politics of Divine Presence in Twentieth-Century Egypt

Why African Autocracies Promote Women as Leaders explains how and why authoritarian countries promote women as leaders in Africa. The face of African politics has changed significantly since the mid-1990s as more women have entered politics in both democracies and autocracies. Women's movements and organizations have successfully lobbied for and won more leadership roles for women in the executive, legislature, and sub-national bodies.

"This book examines the dynamics of Iranian political refugees settling in and migrating through Turkey after the 1980 coup and how they were able to influence its asylum policies. Maral Jefroudi presents a comprehensive picture of one of the biggest migration waves in contemporary history. Bringing together interviews with refugees from the period, analysing the cultural products by and on them, and tracing their footsteps in newspapers, archives, and scholarly literature, this book presents a thorough ethnography of Iranians in transit in Turkey after the 1979 Revolution"--

At its zenith, the Islamic State was one of the most developed and powerful of the various militant organisations that have emerged within the Middle East in recent decades. Not limiting its objectives to organising mass casualty attacks, it constructed a complex system of administration, including an outreach department, which produced a large body of film, social media and literature. Of these, its flagship publication, Dabiq (later renamed Rumiyah), has been its most significant English-language output, and has the potential to tell us a great deal about its ideas and those of other non-state armed actors that claim to maintain some kind of relationship with Islam. Islam and the Islamic State begins by tracing out the emergence of the Islamic State. It locates its separatist appeal within the aftermath of the Iraqi invasion and the early years of the occupation--particularly the Coalition's successful efforts to prevent the formation of a unified national resistance movement. It then goes on to position the West's efforts to reveal its "true nature" within established narratives on the relationship between Islam and violence. This campaign of "ideological delegitimisation" lay at the heart of the military campaign to denude the so-called Caliphate and was, Tim Jacoby argues, central to a global attempt to downplay its quintessentially political motives. With this context in mind, the book this book seeks to understand what the Islamic State says about itself. Attempting to get beyond the moral opprobrium that characterises many other studies, it looks in detail at Dabiq/Rumiyah. The objective here is to analyse how this vital corpus of literature engages with Islamic exegeses--in terms of references to the Qur'an, classical scholarship and contemporary Muslims intellectuals. This reveals a complex and highly instrumental approach to the faith that was fundamentally driven by a determined claim to statehood.

Revolutionary Anxieties studies the role of the liberal elite during the Egyptian transitional period (2011-2014). It shows how the election of the Islamists caused anxiety among the liberal and cultural elites that constituted Cairo's exclusive society. The book examines their relationship with other Egyptians--those who were not part of Cairo's exclusive society, including their servants, the city's poor, and members of Islamist parties. It further illustrates how the narratives of "others" relied on dichotomies such as "ugly versus beautiful" and "civilized versus uncivilized," familiar to scholars from the colonial era. The book also shows how, during the transitional period, Cairo's liberal elite attempted to assert their superiority in various fields. Performative practices related to gender, culture, and art; etiquette and manners; the use of foreign languages; and knowledge of Egyptian history all manifested the cultural capital of the liberal elite. One purpose of this book is to explore the uses of the past in legitimizing and reinventing current cultural and socio-political asymmetries. Throughout, I demonstrate how access to narratives of Egypt's past--understood as "liberal" and "civilized"--functioned as a critical resource for the elite who opposed the new Islamist rulers. The insistence on Egypt's true "civilized" character, which was seen as endangered by the Islamists, was closely tied to political calculations.

This book offers an intimate ethnographic window into the ways Chinese Muslims produce, maintain, and transmit religious, cultural, and historical knowledge through their everyday practices of heritage literacy. Sino-Muslims in China inhabit a unique landscape of religious and spiritual expression, shaped by the intersections of the Islamic faith with Chinese cultural traditions, and where the spoken and written word plays a vital role in sustaining Islamic heritage across generations. Drawing from multiple personal narratives across diverse regions - including Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Qinghai, Gansu, Jilin, Henan, and Hong Kong SAR - this book illuminates the lived experiences of Chinese Muslims as they navigate the intersections of faith, language, and identity. These accounts trace practices of heritage literacy shaped by migration, linguistic-semiotic ideologies, life-cycle rituals, and forms of artistic expression. The authors show how practices of heritage literacy, rooted in Islamic traditions yet responsive to contemporary shifts, tether Sino-Muslims to a broader sense of Muslimness while also anchoring them in local Chinese cultural and historical milieus and diverse linguistic traditions. This interdisciplinary study offers new insights into the significance of heritage literacy in linguistic anthropological study, and the vital role of narrative in preserving and articulating Islamic heritage in China's evolving sociocultural landscape.

In The Politics of Inclusion and Exclusion, Yujeong Yang investigates this question by examining locally divergent patterns of pension expansion in China. Drawing on interviews, surveys, and anecdotal evidence, Yang argues that the answer lies in local citizenship institutions and the ability of local governments to deny informal workers access to citizenship membership. Extending her insights beyond China, Yang offers a valuable framework for understanding the shifting dynamics of welfare politics in the context of growing labor informalization, the rise of the gig economy, and global migration.

Russia has more trees than there are stars in our galaxy, and the forest lies at the heart of this vast nation's history and culture.The Oak and the Larchtells the story of the northern Eurasian forests which have, over the centuries, been part of the territories of Chinggis Khan's Golden Horde, the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and now the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, and Mongolia. Ranging from the medieval era to the present, Pinkham draws on literature - from indigenous legends to canonical works by Tolstoy and Turgenev - as well as political history, art, music, and original reportage. As she traces the forest's role as a wellspring of national identity, a place of shelter, conflict and survival against the odds, Pinkham also shows the threats facing the forests - and what we stand to lose when nature is depleted.
