In "Decolonizzare la Palestina", Somdeep Sen rifiuta l¿idea secondo cui la liberazione dalla colonizzazione avvenga in un singolo momento della storia, con la cacciata del colonizzatore; proprio il caso della lotta palestinese mostra come questo processo sia invece il frutto di una complessa combinazione tra pratiche coloniali e postcoloniali. Dopo l¿inaspettata vittoria alle elezioni del Consiglio legislativo palestinese del 2006, e a dispetto di quanto predetto dagli esperti, Hamas ha continuato a esistere sia come resistenza armata contro il governo israeliano, sia come organo di governo. Spiegare il come e il perché di tutto questo è la vera sfida dell¿autore che, basandosi sul materiale raccolto tra Striscia di Gaza, Cisgiordania, Israele ed Egitto, si spinge oltre il singolo enigma che coinvolge Hamas e traccia un¿originale analisi che getta nuova luce interpretativa su tutti i movimenti di emancipazione dal colonialismo di insediamento.

The History of the Aghuans by Movses Dasxuranc'i (Kaghankatvatsi) is a major source for the history of the indigenous Aghuan people of Caucasia from the earliest times to about A.D. 988. Aghuania comprised parts of modern Dagestan and Azerbaijan, Armenia's eastern neighbor. Its ancient peoples and their numerous languages were noted occasionally by classical Greek and Latin authors. Like the neighboring Armenians, the Aghuans were part of the Iranian-Zoroastrian culture-world for at least a millennium. Their royalty and nobility had marriage ties with their counterparts in Iran and Armenia. Also, like Armenia, Aghuania was among the countries early visited by the Apostles; and the Aghuan and Armenian churches were frequently united. Book 3 describes the Arab domination and reaches into the 10th century. Appended to Book 3 is Mkhitar Gosh's Colophon (The Aghuanian Chronicle).This History of the Aghuans is the sole-surviving written account of a culture now extinct. It is the only literary artifact which describes events of note from the socio-economic, ecclesiastical, political, and military history of the Aghuan people. The History of the Aghuans contains a wide range of invaluable and unique historical and ethnographical information, from an astounding description of a pagan cult's ritual, to the Christian cult of relics, from the Aghuan king at table, to a description of the royal court on the move, from descriptions of Sasanian history (including presents, dress, and court protocols) to a priceless interview with a Khazar Qaqan. Indeed, the History is a primary, but under-utilized, source for the history of the Turkic Khazar kingdom (7-10th centuries). Additionally, it provides otherwise unknown information on Caucasian tribes and peoples, resident and nomadic, and supplements and enhances our information on Aghuania's neighbors.The Sophene Dual Language series places the original Armenian text side-by-side with its English translation, making for the most accessible editions of the finest works of Armenian literature.Translated into English by Robert Bedrosian.

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood is today being pushed to the limits of its adaptability-and perhaps its utility. After a brief year in power, the organization's leaders now languish in prison or exile, while its followers face greater state repression than ever before.Based on unprecedented access to Brotherhood leaders, rank-and-file members, and internal dissenters, this bold and creative study takes a new, granular view of the organization. The Brotherhood and its detractors alike have misunderstood it as a mass ideological organization, missing its evolution into an elite membership organization disconnected from its constituents. In this Century International book, researchers Abdelrahman Ayyash, Amr ElAfifi, and Noha Ezzat argue that the Brotherhood is experiencing multiple crises-of identity, legitimacy, and membership-which accelerated after Egypt's military coup in July 2013. Through myriad stories and voices from within a fragmenting movement, the authors present a nuanced portrait of a once-formidable grassroots organization. They argue that the Brotherhood has fallen out of touch with its animating ideas and popular following. But the same factors that have driven it to the margins today could catalyze a future revival. The fresh analysis in Broken Bonds: The Existential Crisis of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, 2013-22 will serve as a welcome corrective for policymakers, researchers, and all observers of Egyptian politics.

A riveting, real-life equivalent of The Kite Runner—an astonishingly powerful and profoundly moving story of a young couple willing to risk everything for love that puts a human face on the ongoing debate about women’s rights in the Muslim world.Zakia and Ali were from different tribes, but they grew up on neighboring farms in the hinterlands of Afghanistan. By the time they were young teenagers, Zakia, strikingly beautiful and fiercely opinionated, and Ali, shy and tender, had fallen in love. Defying their families, sectarian differences, cultural conventions, and Afghan civil and Islamic law, they ran away together only to live under constant threat from Zakia’s large and vengeful family, who have vowed to kill her to restore the family’s honor. They are still in hiding.Despite a decade of American good intentions, women in Afghanistan are still subjected to some of the worst human rights violations in the world. Rod Nordland, then the Kabul bureau chief of the New York Times, had watched these abuses unfold for years when he came upon Zakia and Ali, and has not only chronicled their plight, but has also shepherded them from danger.The Lovers will do for women’s rights generally what Malala’s story did for women’s education. It is an astonishing story about self-determination and the meaning of love that illustrates, as no policy book could, the limits of Western influence on fundamentalist Islamic culture and, at the same time, the need for change.

On December 25, 2006, the Ethiopian Peoples' Defense Force (EPDF)accompanied by troops from the Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG), andenabled by U.S. Special Forces, invaded southern Somalia intent on destroying the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC). 2 The Ethiopian Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi, declared,"Ethiopian defense forces were forced to enter into war to protect the sovereignty of[Ethiopia]... we are not trying to set up a government for Somalia, nor do we have anintention to meddle in Somalia's internal affairs. We have only been forced by thecircumstances."3 The goal of the invasion was to destroy terrorist base camps in Somaliaas well as liberate Somalia from what they described as the "Taliban of Somalia,"4 and toensure the TFG was installed as the sovereign of Somalia, following the age old Clausewitzian adage that "war is a continuation of politics by other means."5 However,the invasion also threw Somalia back into chaos, and the peacekeeping forces actingunder an African Union (AU) mandate maintains tenuous control over Mogadishu to this day

Examines the struggle of Jewish women to join defense and military activities during the decades leading up to the Israeli War of Independence.The Jewish women's revolution was one of the quietest and most angst-stricken of the revolutionary processes experienced by Zionism and the Yishuv (the Jewish community pre-1948) in Palestine during the first half of the twentieth century but at the same time one of the most profound and lasting among them. Jewish Women and the Defense of Palestine addresses women's struggle to join defense and military activities during the period between the establishment of the Hashomer organization in 1909 and the outbreak of the War of Independence in late 1947. It describes the battles women fought as they sought to challenge the male assumption that members of the "weaker sex" should not be integrated into defense activities. Moreover, the book analyzes the explicit and self-conscious aspiration of women, especially in the Labor settlement movement, to actively participate in defending and guarding their settlements as part of their broader view of women having an equal right to share the burden of building the Jewish national home in Palestine.

This is a history of precious-metals extractivism as lived in Cerro de San Pedro, a small gold- and silver-mining district in Mexico. Chronicling Cerro de San Pedro’s operations from the time of the Spanish conquest to the present, Daviken Studnicki-Gizbert transcends standard narratives of boom and bust to envision a multicentury series of mining cycles, first operated under Spanish rule, then by North American industry, and today in the post-NAFTA world of transnational capitalism. The depletion of a mine did not mark the end of its life, it turns out.Evolving technology accelerated the flow of matter and energy moving through the extractive systems of exhausted mines and revived profitability over and over again in Mexico’s mining districts. Studnicki-Gizbert demonstrates how this serial reanimation of a non-renewable resource was catalyzed by capital and supported by state policy and ideology and how each new cycle imposed ever more harmful consequences on both laborers and natural ecologies. At the same time, however, miners and their communities pursued a contending vision—a moral ecology—that defended the healthy reproduction of life and land. This book’s breathtakingly long view brings important perspective to environmental justice conflicts around extraction in Latin America today.
