A fresh look at the past, present and future of a conflict that lies at the heart of the Middle East

'A masterly engagement with the most delicate and important of subjects - filled with gentle empathy, learning and rare balance' Rory Stewart

'Rogerson is an original - eloquent and always fascinating' William Dalrymple

Recommended on The Rest is Politics and Empire

At the heart of the Middle East, with its regional conflicts and proxy wars, is a 1400-year-old schism between Sunni and Shia. To understand this divide and its modern resonances, we need to revisit its origins, which go back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632, the accidental coup that set aside the claims of his cousin and son-in-law Ali, and the slaughter of Ali's own son Husayn at Kerbala. These events, known to every Muslim, have created a slender faultline in the Middle East.
 
The House Divided follows these narratives from the first Sunni and Shia caliphates, through the medieval caliphates and empires of the Arabs, Persians and Ottomans, to the contemporary Middle East. It shows how a complex range of identities and rivalries - religious, ethnic and national - have shaped the region, jolted by the seismic shift of the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Rogerson's original approach takes the modern chessboard of nation states and looks at each through its particular history of empires and occupiers, minorities and resources, sheikhs and imams. The result is a book of wide-ranging empathy, understanding and insights.

Nach dem Tod von Mahsa Jina Amini im September 2022, der landesweite Proteste auslöste, geht auch Nila auf die Straße. Die Angst ist der ständige Begleiter der Frauen, die gemeinsam für ihre Rechte kämpfen - bedroht und eingeschüchtert von der berüchtigten Sittenpolizei, die wahllos verhaftet, foltert und tötet.
 

 Eindringlich und bewegend schildert Nila ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen als Aktivistin auf den Straßen Teherans und setzt diese in den Kontext einer langen Geschichte weiblicher Stärke in Iran. 
 

 Ein mutiges Zeugnis, das einen tiefen Einblick in die gegenwärtigen Proteste und die anhaltende Unterdrückung in Iran bietet.

Ein eindringliches Zeugnis der Revolution mit einem Vorwort von Natalie Amiri

Auf den Straßen Teherans

Wars are expensive, both in human terms and monetary ones. But while warfare might be costly it has also, at times, been an important driver of economic change and progress. Over the long span of history nothing has shaped human institutions - and thus the process of economic development - as much as war and violence. Blood and Treasure looks at the history and economics of warfare from the Viking Age to the war in Ukraine, examining how incentives and institutions have changed over time. Along the way it asks whether Genghis Khan should be regarded as the father of globalisation, explains how New World gold and silver kept Spain poor, asks if handing out medals hurt the Luftwaffe in the Second World War and assesses if economic theories helped to create a tragedy in Vietnam. 'A delightfully quirky approach to military history' Spectator 'Time and again Weldon spots the invisible hand behind hostilities' The Economist

From two leading writers and thinkers on Palestine: a profound meditation on memory and what we choose to memorialise

Searching for Palestine’s Hidden Places and Lost Memorials

Forgotten

When their summer settlement is flooded without warning, a family of Sámi women must fight for their way of life in a changing world, in this powerful, haunting novel. 'Heartachingly beautiful' Lisa Ridzén, author of WHEN THE CRANES FLY SOUTH '[An] intimate story of infuriating discrimination' Guardian Every summer, Ingá, her mother Rávdná, and her Aunt Ánne travel west to their village on the lake. But the summer Ingá is thirteen, they arrive to find their home and possessions have disappeared under water, the land flooded by a dam built to supply hydropower to a society that has continually stolen from them. The Home of the Drowned follows these women's fortunes over forty years - from 1942 to 1982 - as the water their people have lived near for centuries is transformed into a menacing force that threatens all they hold dear. Defying the authorities, Rávdná decides to build a house on the lake to replace what was lost, becoming an unlikely activist. Meanwhile, Ánne's health is in decline, and a concerned Ingá merely longs to live like everyone else - an impossible wish when the Swedish state is relentlessly drowning her world. Elin Anna Labba's debut novel brings Sámi history to the fore, revealing connections between land, water and people that hauntingly reverberate with the question: what is it that makes a home? Translated by Elizabeth Clark Wessel 'Powerful... explores memory, marginalisation and what happens when collective wisdom is washed away' Financial Times 'In this story of the struggle of a family of Sámi women... the great saga of humanity seems mystically encoded. . .With the heft of myth and the urgency of activism, this book is a clear-eyed portal into a world of wonder, injustice, resilience, and hope' Damian Le Bas, author of THE DROWNED PLACES

The Home of the Drowned

From an acclaimed architect and investigator, a devastating, meticulous account of the history of Israel's destruction of Gaza 'Urgent and essential' DAVID WENGROW 'Extraordinary' ILAN PAPPÉ Eyal Weizman is one of the world's leading experts on the relationship between violence, conflict and the environment, both built and natural. As director of the organisation Forensic Architecture, he and his team of interdisciplinary researchers document acts of state crimes and human rights violations around the world. Since 2023, the group has worked to produce evidence for the International Court of Justice's genocide case against Israel. In this revelatory new project, Weizman draws on that research to bring us on an eye-opening journey across time and into the 'deep cartography' of the area extending from Gaza's subterranean tunnels through to its militarised topography, its unique soil, settlements and barriers. He catalogues, in unflinching and forensic detail, the Israeli campaigns of violence and displacement that have reshaped the region in an effort to make Gaza and its surrounding areas unliveable. Taking us through the broader geographic and historical context, from the Nakba in 1948 to the present day, Ungrounding establishes that architectural and territorial analysis is key to understanding the relationship between coloniser and colonised - and how Israel's actions after 7 October escalated into violence so extreme and so far-reaching as to, Weizman argues, meet the definition of genocide. Deeply informative and profoundly affecting in its scope and precision, and illustrated with dozens of original images, maps and diagrams, Ungrounding is an essential document of atrocity in our time.

The first major account of this transformative period in the history of Great Britain Between 1990 and 2020, the United Kingdom experienced tension between unparalleled social change and a pragmatic political culture which sought continuity, compromise and gradualism. Thatcher’s legacy was slowly digested, Blair’s ‘New Labour’ thoroughly scrutinized and the decision was made after forty-seven years to leave the European Union. The UK’s long-established major institutions—monarchy, parliament and the union between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland—were sorely tested. Yesterday provides the first fully documented history of this pivotal time in Great Britain. Was the UK in decline? Brian Harrison points to Britain’s unsuccessful adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan and its relative economic decline, underfunded hospitals, sink schools, over-filled prisons and terrorism of both Irish and Islamic varieties. Yet there were successes. Harrison shows how the UK’s participatory institutions outmanoeuvred terrorism and precariously surmounted regional, intergenerational, ethnic and social-class tensions. This vibrant, creative society saw major improvements in time, place and recruitment for work, as well as growth and innovation in conservation, digitization, tourism, consumerism, sport and the arts. Some changes were revolutionary: in family life and relations between the generations, and in the ever-changing electronic media. And if religious observance was in decline, immigrants were introducing new faiths and even a revived religious fervour while attitudes to health and death were changing fast. A panoramic and wide-ranging analysis by a scholar at the height of his powers, Yesterday paints an evocative, richly textured portrait of a people who were shedding their complacency and insularity and bracing themselves to face a very different but promising future.

Bestsellerautor Hasnain Kazim über sein ambivalentes Verhältnis zum Islam 
 „Herr Kazim, warum hassen Sie den Islam?“ – „Was haben Sie gegen Muslime?“ – „Warum zeigen Sie so wenig Empathie gegenüber den leidenden Palästinensern?“ Hasnain Kazim, Spross einer schiitisch-muslimischen Familie und selbst evangelisch-christlich aufgewachsen, nimmt sich solche Vorwürfe zu Herzen. In diesem pointierten Essay setzt er sich mit seinem ambivalenten Verhältnis zu der Religion auseinander, der ein Großteil seiner Verwandtschaft angehört. Er selbst hat jahrelang als Korrespondent in muslimisch geprägten Ländern, in Pakistan und der Türkei gelebt. Entlang weltpolitischer Ereignisse und privater Erfahrungen zeichnet er sein persönliches Bild des Islam, widmet sich familiären Zwängen sowie Fragen der Gleichberechtigung. Dem Kampf für Demokratie, für religiöse Toleranz und Menschenrechte, der auch innerhalb des Islam geführt wird. Ein Text, der das Unbehagen vieler Menschen in Worte kleidet und zugleich pauschaler „Islamkritik“ etwas entgegensetzt.

Why the separation of powers is essential to liberty and democracy. From the winner of the Holberg Prize and New York Times–bestselling author of The World According to Star Wars. All over the world, people are questioning the separation of powers. They want a strong man, able to do what must be done. But James Madison was right to say this: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” In this essential and immensely timely book, Separation of Powers, Cass Sunstein explains why the separation of powers is necessary for both freedom and self-government. He shows that freedom from fear is a central goal of the system of separation of powers. He also explains why the executive branch is the most dangerous branch, why the idea of presidential immunity is a terrible one, and why an independent judiciary is crucial. Drawing on his extensive experience in the White House, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Homeland Security, the author also argues that the separation of powers is, in fact, six separations of powers: (1) The legislature may not exercise the executive power. (2) The legislature may not exercise the judicial power. (3) The executive may not exercise the legislative power. (4) The executive may not exercise the judicial power. (5) The judiciary may not exercise the legislative power. (6) The judiciary may not exercise the executive power. Each of these is essential to liberty under law.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER The world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.
