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.

Sunni, Shia and the Making of the Middle East

Elements in Religion and Monotheism

Monotheism implies a God who is active in creation. An author writing a novel provides a better analogy for God's creative activity than an artificer constructing a mechanism. A miracle is then not an interruption of the ordinary course of nature so much as a divine decision to do something out of the ordinary, and miracle is primarily a narrative category. We perceive as miracles events that are extraordinary while also fitting our understanding of divine purpose. Many miracle accounts may remain problematic, however, since recognizing that a given story purports to narrate a miracle does not determine whether the miracle occurred. This Elementweighs competing narratives. In doing so the understanding of the normal workings of nature will carry considerable weight. Nevertheless, there can be instances where believers may, from their own faith perspective, be justified in concluding that a miracle has occurred.

Monotheism and Miracle

This book provides an introduction to the cultural and intellectual exchanges and conflicts between Islam and Christianity since the seventh century. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the rich history of active cultural contact between Islam and Christianity in Europe and the Middle East, despite periods of conflict since the Arab Conquest of Byzantium. The book highlights the positive traditions of cultural and political partnership that resulted in the exchange of vital religious and philosophical ideas and values. Such partnerships not only introduced the Arabs to the great monuments of Greek philosophy, science and medicine, but also ensured the cultural recurrence of Greek culture, culminating in the Latin Renaissance of the fourteenth and fifteenth century.

Historical Encounter of Civilizations: Islam, Christianity and the West

"What was popular entertainment like for everyday Arab societies in Middle Eastern cities during the long nineteenth century? In what ways did cafâe culture, theatre, illustrated periodicals, cinema, cabarets, and festivals serve as key forms of popular entertainment for Arabic-speaking audiences, many of whom were uneducated and striving to contend with modernity's anxiety-inducing realities? Studies on the 19th to mid-20th century's transformative cultural movement known as the Arab nahda (renaissance), have largely focussed on concerns with nationalism, secularism, and language, often told from the perspective of privileged groups. Highlighting overlooked aspects of this movement, this book shifts the focus away from elite circles to quotidian audiences. Its ten contributions range in scope, from music and visual media to theatre and popular fiction. Paying special attention to networks of movement and exchange across Arab societies in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and Morocco, this book heeds the call for 'translocal/transnational' cultural histories, while contributing to timely global studies on gender, sexuality, and morality. Focusing on the often-marginalized frequenters of cafâes, artist studios, cinemas, nightclubs, and the streets, it expands the remit of who participated in the nahda and how they did"--

Mass Culture and Modernity in the Middle East

The Arab Nahda as Popular Entertainment

"Our lives are ruled by law. But what if law were life? What if it were the knowledge, the ordering of knowledges, necessary to live? Every law? Shari'a, Youssef Belal demonstrates, is in fragments, but these fragments are remarkable pathways to self and other, lives known and unknown, worlds visible and invisible. A phenomenal achievement." --Gil Anidjar, author of The Sovereignty of Mothers: The Political as Maternal "The first truly comparative and conceptually sophisticated study of Islamic law, Belal's book exits the closed world of so much Islamic scholarship to embed his subject in a world of unexpected connections as well as contrasts." --Faisal Devji, Professor of History at Oxford University "This remarkable and multi-faceted study of Shari'a--which looks at its episteme, ethics, politics, and complex relation between inner and outer worlds--is a breathtaking work of scholarship that offers a new genealogy of Western law through the perspective of Shari'a. It delivers a philosophical challenge to reconsider the living relation between forms of knowledge and modes of ethical life concerning law and politics. Engaging a wide range of debates within Islamic jurisprudence, history, and philosophy, as well as an array of modern critical and political thinkers, Belal shows us the entanglements that constitute our complex modernity. Marking the continuing effects of colonial power on thought and politics, Belal reverses the gaze by rewriting Western political theory from the perspective of its discarded Other. He undertakes this project with impressive erudition and conceptual patience. This book shifts our conceptual and embodied understanding of law, the possibility of plural and co-existing legal epistemes, the revolutionary constellations they produce, and the new public spheres that reflect this complexity. It leaves the nonspecialist more educated than before and illuminates a structural ignorance within which Western thought has been living for too long. And it opens up an ethical vision that links the seen and unseen worlds to an ethics in and of the public sphere."--Judith Butler, author of The Force of Nonviolence: An Ethico-Political Bind

"Tracing the emergence of literary history, Alexander Jabbari shows how Iranians and South Asians drew from their shared literary heritage to produce a 'Persianate modernity' in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Using both Urdu and Persian-language sources, Jabbari examines how intellectual exchange across the region made national cultures"--

This book argues that the nature of counterproliferation strengthens the effect of cultural factors in policy choices, and illustrates this by focusing on US and Israeli policy towards the Iranian nuclear program.

Cultures of Counterproliferation

In many European states, multiculturalism has recently come under attack, being openly questioned by many in both the public and political spaces as being in 'crisis'. Prompting many of these attacks have been incidents or events - typically interpreted as 'controversies' - that have involved or centred on issues relating to Muslims or Islam. Having ramifications in the social, cultural or political spaces, many have seen these controversies as accentuating the 'problem' of Muslims and Islam. Focusing on a number of these 'crises' and 'controversies', this book seeks to to interrogate the theories of Islamophobia through the lens of a series of different 'crises and controversies' that have involved - or have been perceived as involving - Muslims or Islam. This book critically engages these 'crises and controversies' through the framework of the definitions, theories and concepts explored in the author's earlier book Islamophobia? (Ashgate, 2010). Allen's latest boo sets out to: better understand where, how and why the responses of both the right, left and centre of the European political spectrum are seemingly converging in views and attitudes towards Muslims and Islam; contribute additional knowledge to the still relatively under-researched yet extremely timely phenomenon of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred; and consider how this links to and affects attitudes and expressions manifested in the public and social spaces. Employing a largely thematic approach, this book focuses on the linked impacts of a range of different controversies that have occurred at the local, national and regional levels. These include: Invasion and Islamification - Eurabia and the Islamic Invasion; Physical and Material - minarets and mosques; Culture and 'Our Way of Life' - between us and them; Values and Freedoms - veils, hijabs and niqabs; Speech and Offence - cartoons and caricatures; Terrorism and Threat - 'home-grown bombers' to exter
