Creative Radicalism in the Middle East

Media, Public Space and Temporality

Caroline Rooney, University of Kent, UK

Edited by Tarik Sabry & Joe F. Khalil

In the face of oppression and years of authoritarian and neoliberal ideology, how did the left assert itself during the Arab Uprisings? Caroline Rooney here outlines the importance of aesthetic strategies and creative expression in the left’s critique of authoritarian and Islamic extremist discourse during the revolutions.

In this revealing new study, Tarik Sabry and Joe Khalil preside over an original new exploration of Arab culture. They employ subjects as varied as anthropology, media studies, philosophy, political economy and cultural studies to illuminate the relationship between culture, time and publics in an Arab context, whilst also laying the foundations for a much more nuanced picture of Arab society. Providing a grounded orientation to key debates on time and what can be defined as public in modern Arab cultures, Sabry and Khalil address teachers, students and those concerned about the delicate structures that underpin the upheavals of the modern Arab world.

Beirut, Imagining the City

Space and Place in Lebanese Literature Ghenwa Hayek, University of Chicago, USA Ghenwa Hayek here explores how anxieties over the past, present and future of Beirut have been articulated through a sense of dislocation present in Lebanese writing since the 1960s. Drawing on theories of cultural studies, geography and history, and examining a wide range of modern and contemporary literature, the author uses an interdisciplinary framework to explore the role that spaces - from rural to urban - have played in the defining, and re-defining, of national identity in the seventy years since the creation of the Lebanese nation state.

Culture and the Arab Left after the Uprisings

Using a wide array of texts and sources, the book engages affect theory to show how a poetics of disappointment, despair and distrust, to dignity, solidarity and reconfigured senses of the sacred, offered a way for the left to reclaim ethical, ‘radical’ values co-opted by political leaders and extremists in the Middle East.

Documenting Syria

Film-making, Video Activism and Revolution Josepha Ivanka Wessels, Malmö University, Sweden Syria is now one of the most important countries in the world for the documentary film industry. Since the 1970s, Syrian film-makers played a defining role in political dissent. This book is the first history of documentary filmmaking in the country based on extensive media ethnography and in-depth interviews with Syrian film-makers in exile. The book offers an archival analysis of the documentary work by masters of Syrian cinema, such as Nabil Maleh, Ossama Mohammed and Mohammed Malas, and traces how these film-makers became iconic for a new generation.

Culture, Time and Publics in the Arab World

The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam A New Translation from the Persian Omar Khayyam Translated by Juan R.I. Cole, University of Michigan, USA A repository of subversive, melancholic and existentialist themes and ideas, the rubáiyát (quatrains) that make up the collected poems attributed to the 12th century Persian astronomer Omar Khayyam have enchanted readers for centuries. In this modern translation, Juan Cole elegantly renders the verse for contemporary readers. The critical introduction provides crucial context for the dubious provenance of the poem, and explain how the Rubáiyát came to such fame in West.

Shi'i Islam and Sufism

Classical Views and Modern Perspectives Edited by Denis Hermann & Mathieu Terrier Offering new perspectives on the relationship between Shi'is and Sufis in modern and pre-modern times, this book challenges the supposed opposition between these two esoteric traditions in Islam by exploring what could be called "Shi'i Sufism" and "Sufi-oriented Shi'ism" at various points in history. With contributions from leading scholars in Shi'ism and Sufism Studies, the book is the first to reveal the mutual influences and connections between Shi'ism and Sufism, which until now have been little explored.

Intellectual Interactions in the Islamic World The Ismaili Thread

Edited by Orkhan Mir-Kasimov, The Institute of Ismaili Studies, UK How has the Ismaili branch of Shi‘i Islam interacted with other Islamic communities throughout history? While scholarship has analysed many branches of Islam in isolation, the exchanges and mutual influences between them have not been sufficiently recognised. This book traces the interactions between Ismaili intellectual thought and the philosophies of other Islamic groups to shed light on the complex and interwoven nature of Islamic civilisation. Based on primary sources from the early medieval to the late nineteenth century, the book brings together different disciplines within Islamic Studies to cover polemical and doctrinal literature, law, mysticism, rituals and philosophy.

The Master and the Disciple An Early Islamic Spiritual Dialogue Edited by James W. Morris This volume includes a fully annotated translation and Arabic critical edition of one of the earliest surviving Ismaili Shi'i writings, by the Yemeni author Ja'far Ibn Mansur al-Yaman. In addition to being a key source for pre-Fatimid Ismaili history, The Master and the Disciple is important as the most elaborate example of the narrated dramatic dialogue form in Arabic. It also illustrates the processes by which early esoteric Shi'i ideas and institutions eventually contributed to the evolution of more familiar forms of Sufism in the Islamic West.

Gender and Succession in Medieval and Early Modern Islam Bilateral Descent and the Legacy of Fatima

Alyssa Gabbay, University of North California, USA Through the lens of Fatima, and drawing on a host of texts including Qur’an commentaries, hadith, historical chronicles, court records and poetry taken from India to Morocco, and everywhere in between, Alyssa Gabbay here reconsiders various episodes from the medieval Islamic world in which individuals or societies acknowledged bilateral descent. In the process, Gabbay sheds important light onto gender roles in the pre-modern world and beliefs and practices on lineage and bilateral descent, as well as considering Fatima as a ‘feminist icon’ and her resounding (and long-lasting) influence throughout the medieval Islamic world more generally.

Cross Veneration in the Medieval Islamic World

Christian Identity and Practice under Muslim Rule Charles Tieszen, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA How and why did medieval Eastern Christian communities continue to venerate crosses in the face of confusion and hostility in Islamic majority lands? Charles Tieszen here looks at every known apologetic or polemical text written between the eighth and fourteenth centuries, with sources taken from across the Mediterranean basin, Egypt, Syria and Palestine, to examine this key theological debate, which lay at the heart of these communities' religious identities. Considering the perspectives of both Muslim and Christian authors, the book also raises important questions concerning cross-cultural debate and exchange, and the development of Christianity and Islam in the medieval period.

Arab Conquests and Early Islamic Historiography

The Futuh al-Buldan of al-Baladhuri Ryan J. Lynch, Columbus State University, USA Al-Baladhuri’s Kitab Futuh al-buldan (The Book of the Conquest of Lands) is one of the most important sources on 7th and 8th century Islamic history. Questions over the text’s construction, purpose, and reception, however, have been overlooked in current scholarship. This is despite the text’s important historical material and its early date of creation. It is commonplace for researchers to turn to the Futuh for information on a specific location or topic, but to ignore questions over the text’s creation and limitation. This book corrects these gaps in knowledge by investigating the form, construction, content, and early reception history of al-Baladhuri’s text.

A Tenth-Century Treatise on ArabByzantine Relations Maria Vaiou

Arab messengers played a vital role in the medieval Islamic world and its diplomatic relations with foreign powers. An innovative treatise from the 10th Century - 'Rusul al-Muluk' or 'Messengers of Kings' - is perhaps the most important account of the diplomacy of the period, and it is here translated into English for the first time. 'Rusul al-Muluk' is an extraordinarily important and original contribution to our understanding of the early Islamic world and the field of International Relations and Diplomatic History.

Islamism and Intelligence in South Asia Militancy, Politics and Security

Prem Mahadevan, Center for Security Studies, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Prem Mahadevan demonstrates here how over several decades, radical Islamists, sometimes with the tacit support of parts of the military establishment, have weakened democratic governance in Pakistan and acquired progressively larger influence over policy-making. Mahadevan traces this history back to the anti-colonial Deobandi movement, which was born out of the post-partition political atmosphere and a rediscovery of the thinking of Ibn Taymiyyah. Using Pakistani media and academic sources for the bulk of its raw data, the book tracks Pakistan's trajectory towards a 'soft' Islamic revolution.

Writing Queer Identities in Morocco

Abdellah Taïa and Marginal Sexualities in Moroccan Literature Tina Dransfeldt Christensen, Roskilde University, Denmark This book explores queer identity in Morocco through the work of author and LGBT activist Abdellah Taïa, who defied the country’s anti-homosexuality laws by publicly coming out in 2006. Placing key novels such as Salvation Army and Infidels in dialogue with Moroccan writers including Driss Chraïbi and Abdelkebir Khatibi, the author shows how Taïa draws upon a long tradition of politically committed art in Morocco to subvert traditional notions of heteronormativity. By foregrounding silenced or otherwise marginalised voices, she shows how his writings offer a powerful critique of discourses of class, authenticity, culture and nationality in Morocco and North Africa.

Belgium has an elaborate legal system for protecting the rights of LGBT individuals, particularly LGBT asylum seekers. But it has been criticized for its 'homonationalism' where some queer subjects - such as ethnic, racial and religious minorities - are excluded from the dominant discourse on LGBT rights. This book foregrounds the lived experiences of queer Muslims who migrated to Belgium because of their sexuality and queer Muslims who are the children of economic migrants. Based on extensive fieldwork, Wim Peumans examines how these Muslims negotiate silence and disclosure around their sexuality and interpret their religious beliefs.

Leila Alikarami, SOAS, University of London, UK

Women, Reproduction and the State

As the bearers of the next generation in one of the richest countries in the world, the social status of Qatari women is closely linked to their procreation potential. At the same time, women play a central role as representatives of the modernising Qatari nation-state; one that fuses respect for traditional values with new opportunities in public life. Based on original interviews and ethnographic research, this book looks to the topic of miscarriage to explore the contradictions and tensions emerging from Qatar’s shifting social relations.

Edited by Sussan Babaie

This new volume in “The Idea of Iran” series follows the complexities surrounding the cultural reinvention of Iran after the Mongol invasions. The book is unique in capturing not only the effects of Mongol rule but also the period following the collapse of Mongol-based Ilkhanid rule. Analysing the fourteenth century in its own right, Sussan Babaie and her fellow contributors capture the cultural complexity of an era that produced some of the most luminous masterpieces in Persian literature and the most significant new building work in Tabriz, Yazd, Herat and Shiraz. Featuring contributions by leading scholars, this is a wide-ranging treatment of an under-researched period and the volume will be essential reading for scholars of Iranian Studies and Middle Eastern History.

The Timurid Century The Idea of Iran Vol.9

In this, the ninth volume in The Idea of Iran series, leading scholars analyse the ways that Timurid contemporaries viewed their traditions and their environment, asking questions such as: what was the view of outsiders, and how does modern scholarship define the distinctive aspects of the period?

Persia in Crisis

Safavid Decline and the Fall of Isfahan Rudi Matthee, University of Delaware, USA The decline and fall of Safavid Iran is traditionally seen as the natural outcome of the unrelieved political stagnation and moral degeneration which characterised late Safavid Iran. Persia in Crisis challenges this view. In this ground-breaking new book, Rudi Matthee revisits traditional sources and introduces new ones to take a fresh look at Safavid Iran in the century preceding the fall of Isfahan in 1722, which brought down the dynasty and ushered in a long period of turbulence in Iranian history.

Attar and the Persian Sufi Tradition

Iran and the West

L. Lewisohn & C. Shackle

Edited by Margaux Whiskin, University of Warwick, UK & David Bagot, Newcastle-underLyme College, UK

The Art of Spiritual Flight

Edited by L. Lewisohn & C. Shackle Farid al-Din 'Attar (d. 1221) was the principal Muslim religious poet of the second half of the twelfth century. His pithy and paradoxical poems and statements are still known by heart and sung by minstrels throughout Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and wherever Persian is spoken or understood. The essays in the volume are grouped in three sections, and feature contributions by sixteen scholars from North America, Europe and Iran, which illustrate, from a variety of critical prespectives, the full range of 'Attar's monumental achievement.

Iran After the Mongols

Cultural Perceptions from the Sasanian Empire to the Islamic Republic

Since the age of the Sasanian Empire (224-651 AD), Iran and the West have time and again appeared to be at odds. Iran and the West charts this contentious and complex relationship by examining the myriad ways the two have perceived each other, from antiquity to today. Contributors consider literary, imagined, mythical, visual, filmic, political and historical representations of the 'other' and the ways in which these have been constructed in, and often in spite of, their specific historical contexts.

International and Regional Engagement in the Middle East Marianna Charountaki The foreign policies of Turkey and Iran seem increasingly to dictate the course of events in the Middle East. In this book, Marianna Charountaki examines these states' politics and policies since 1979. Using material gathered from interviews with leading political figures from Turkey, Iran and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, the book examines the impact of both external and internal factors on foreign policy and how the interaction between state and non-state actors informs political decisions. Charountaki places these issues in a theoretical framework to pioneer a new conceptual map within International Relations.

The British in the Levant

Trade and Perceptions of the Ottoman Empire in the Eighteenth Century Christine Laidlaw For more than two centuries following its formation in 1581, the Levant Company enjoyed a monopoly of British trade with the Ottoman Empire and provided Britain's diplomatic representation at the Sultan's court. Rather than focusing on 'the Turkey trade' itself, Christine Laidlaw examines the supporting cast of Britons - officials, clergymen, physicians and accompanying family members - who lived and worked alongside the merchants at the Company's three principal trading posts at Istanbul, Izmir and Aleppo during the eighteenth century. This unique perspective will be invaluable for historians of the eighteenth century and the Ottoman Empire.

Empire and Education under the Ottomans

Gender Politics in Turkey and Russia

Emine O. Evered, Michigan State University, USA

Both Turkey and Russia were pioneering examples of “state feminism” in the early 20th Century, when the Republican and Bolshevik states embraced the ideology of women’s equality. But more recently sexism in these countries has dramatically intensified. This book explores the historical and contemporary parallels between Turkey and Russia, and how the state perpetuates and benefits from the subjugation of women. The research is based on analysis of legal documents, statistical data and reports, as well as in-depth interviews with experts, activists and public officials.

Politics, Reform and Resistance from the Tanzimat to the Young Turks

Of all the institutions of the Ottoman Empire, few have had more lasting impact than its schools and educational policies. Through a focus on the regional impact of decrees from Istanbul, Emine O. Evered here demonstrates how educational changes devised as part of wider reforms to strengthen the Empire in fact hastened its demise. This book is the first history of education in the Ottoman Middle East to evaluate policies in the context of local responses and resistance, and includes the first published English translation of the watershed 1869 Ottoman Education Law.

The 'People's Houses', the State and the Citizen Alexandros Lamprou From 1924 to 1946 the Republic of Turkey was in effect ruled as an authoritarian single-party regime. During these years the state embarked upon an extensive reform programme of modernisation and nation-building. Alexandros Lamprou here offers an alternative understanding of social change and state-society relations in Turkey, shifting the focus from the state as the prime instigator of change to the population's participation in the process of reform. Using previously unpublished archival material, Lamprou analyses how ordinary people experienced, negotiated and resisted the reforms in the 1930s and 1940s and how this process contributed to the shaping of social identities. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of nation-building, sociocultural change and state-society relations in modern Turkey.

The Struggle for Modern Turkey Justice, Activism and a Revolutionary Female Journalist Sabiha Sertel Edited by Tia O'Brien & Nur Deris Translated by David Selim Sayers & Evrim EmirSayers Sabiha Sertel was born into revolution in 1895 as an independent Turkey rose out of the dying Ottoman Empire. The nation’s first professional female journalist, her unrelenting push for democracy and social reforms ultimately cost Sertel her country and freedom. Shortly before her death in 1968, Sertel completed her autobiography Roman Gibi (Like a Novel), which was written during her forced exile in the Soviet Union. Translated here into English for the first time, and complete with a new introduction and comprehensive annotations, it offers a rare perspective on Turkey’s history as it moved to embrace democracy, then violently recoiled.

Turkey

An Economic Geography Aksel Ersoy, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands Turkey's economy is a complex mix of modern industry, a traditional agricultural sector, and a rapidly growing private sector. To date, many of the policy interventions adopted have been based on models drawn from developed economies and the outcome has raised a number of concerns. Are policy interventions drawn from advanced economies appropriate for transitional economies such as Turkey? Aksel Ersoy's book is the first work to explore the dynamics of local and regional development in Turkey. In addition, he offers a new theoretical framework for understanding the local and regional dynamics of emerging and transitional economies more generally.

The Foreign Policy of Modern Turkey

Conspiracy Theory in Turkey

Ozgur Tufekci, Karadeniz Technical University, Turkey

Power and the Ideology of Eurasianism

M I D D L E E A S T S T U D I E S / I . B . T A U R I S – Turkey and the Ottoman Empire

Nation-Building in Modern Turkey

Politics and Protest in the Age of 'PostTruth'

Ozgur Tufekci argues that Eurasianist ideology has been fundamental to Turkish foreign policy and continues to have influence today. The author first explores the historical roots of Eurasianism in the 19th century, comparing this to Neo-Eurasianism and Pan-Slavism. The Ozal era (1983-1993), the Cem era (1997-2002) and Davutoglu era (since 2003) are then examined to reveal how foreign policy making has been informed by discourses of Eurasianism, and how Eurasianist ideas were implemented through internal and external socio-economic and political factors.

Turkey is witnessing an era of political upheaval. Julian de Medeiros here analyses the many unfolding challenges of Erdogan's New Turkey, and shows how a fixedly Turkish-style of 'posttruth' has taken root. Examining the relationship between conspiracy theory and 'post-truth', this book sheds light on the strategies of political paranoia that threaten to undermine the success of Turkey's democratic model. De Medeiros argues that both the Gezi protests and the failed coup attempt need to be considered alongside the emerging anti-democratic and conspiratorial tendencies of an increasingly authoritarian Turkish government.

Libya's Fragmentation

Structure and Process in Violent Conflict Wolfram Lacher, German Institute for International and Security Affairs, Germany

Gender, Politics and the Sahrawi

Konstantina Isidoros, University of Oxford, UK

This book analyzes the forces that have shaped Libya's trajectory into political fragmentation since 2011. Questioning widely held assumptions about the role of Libya’s tribes in the revolution, Wolfram Lacher sheds new light on the complex community rifts between the revolutionaries and loyalists, and shows why Khalifa Haftar has been able to consolidate his sway over the northeast. Based on hundreds of interviews with key actors in the conflict, Lacher advances a new approach to the study of civil wars, placing the social ties of actors at the centre of analysis and exploring the link between violent conflict and social cohesion.

Today the Sahrawi are admired as soldier-statesmen and refugee-diplomats. Konstantina Isidoros provides a rich ethnographic portrait of this unique desert society's life in one of Earth's most extreme ecosystems. Her extensive anthropological research, conducted over nine years, illuminates an Arab-Berber Muslim society in which men wear full face veils and are matrifocused toward women, who are the propertyholders of tent households forming powerful matrilocal coalitions. Isidoros offers new analytical insights on gender relations, strategic tribe-to-state symbiosis and the tactical formation of 'tent-cities'.

Dialogue in Palestine

The People-to-People Diplomacy Programme and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Nadia Naser-Najjab, University of Exeter, UK Since 1993, various international donors have poured money into a People-to-People (P2P) diplomacy programme in Palestine. This grassroots initiative – still funded by prominent external donors today – seeks to foster public engagement through contact and therefore remove deeply embedded barriers. This book examines the limited nature of this ‘contact’ and explains why the P2P framework ultimately served to reinforce conflict and power relations. The book is based on the author’s own experience of the solidarity activities during the First Intifada and her first-hand involvement as a coordinator of the P2P projects.

The Palestinian Refugees after 1948

Marte Heian-Engdal, Norwegian Centre for Conflict Resolution, Norway

Edited by Walid Khalidi

The Failure of International Diplomacy

After almost seventy years, the Palestinian refugee problem remains unsolved. But if a deal ever could have been reached involving the repatriation of Palestinian refugees, it should have been in the early years of the Arab-Israeli conflict. So why didn’t this happen? This book is the first comprehensive study of the international community’s earliest efforts to solve the refugee problem. Based on a wide range of international primary sources from Israeli, US, UK and UN archives, it presents new evidence to reveal the major proposals to solve the conflict between 1948 and 1968, and to understand why these failed.

The British Empire and the Armenian Genocide

Humanitarianism and Imperial Politics from Gladstone to Churchill Michelle Tusan, University of Nevada, USA The Armenian question emerged as one of the most popular humanitarian causes in British society, capturing the imagination of philanthropists, politicians and the press. For liberals, it was seen as the embodiment of the humanitarian ideals espoused by their former leader (and four-time Prime Minister), W.E. Gladstone. For conservatives, as articulated most clearly by Winston Churchill, it proved a test case for British imperial power. In looking at the British response to the events in Anatolia, Michelle Tusan provides a new perspective on the genocide and sheds light on one of the first ever international humanitarian campaigns.

Democracy in Lebanon

Policy-Making in the GCC

Abbas Assi, Lebanese University

Edited by Neil Quilliam, Chatham House, UK & Mark C. Thompson, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Saudi Arabia

Political Parties and the Struggle for Power Since Syrian Withdrawal The 'Cedar Revolution' in Lebanon, sparked by the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri on 14 February 2005, was seen by many as an opportunity for Lebanon's fragile political system to move towards a more stable form of democracy. But contrary to these expectations, in the years since Syrian military withdrawal in April 2005, Lebanon has been plagued with sectarian and political unrest and conflict. Abbas Assi here explores the obstacles that impeded the democratic transition process and how subsequent events since 2005 have bolstered this trend. Assi examines how the intersection of the influence of external factors and powers with domestic conflicts has shaped the behaviour of political parties and has had implications on their ability to reach compromises and initiate democratic reforms.

The Makers of Modern Syria

The Rise and Fall of Syrian Democracy 1918-1958 Sami Moubayed In the aftermath of World War I, Syria paved a path towards democracy. Initially as part of the French mandate in the Middle East and latterly as an independent republic, Syria put in place the instruments of democratic government that it was hoped would lead to a stable future. This book tells the story of Syria's formative years, using previously-unseen material from the personal papers of Ahmad Sharabati, a prominent nationalist who served in different capacities during colonial times and early independence, first as minister of defense and then as minister of education. His experiences and those of his contemporaries tell the story of Syria's short-lived democratic years, up to the union with Egypt as the United Arab Republic between 1958 and 1961.

State, Citizens and Institutions

Despite the rise in prominence of individual Gulf states and the growth of the GCC as a collective entity, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the actual mechanics of policy-making in the region. In this book contributors assess the changing relationship between state and citizen and evaluate the role that formal and informal institutions play in mediating change and informing policy. With chapters from both academics and practitioners, the book shows how academic, social and economic institutions are responding to the increasingly complex process of decision-making in the region.

Redrawing the Middle East

Sir Mark Sykes, Imperialism and the Sykes-Picot Agreement

C. Brad Faught, Tyndale University College, Canada

Michael Berdine here examines the life of Sir Mark Sykes, the young British aristocrat who helped formulate many of Britain's policies in the Middle East that are responsible for much of the instability that has affected the region ever since.

Edmund Allenby, Viscount Allenby of Megiddo and Felixstowe, as he became later, was the principal British military figure in the region from 1917 to 1919. He fulfilled a similar proconsular role in Egypt from the latter year until 1925. In these two roles Allenby’s eight years in the Middle East were of great impact, and in probing his life an especially revealing window can be found through which to observe closely and understand more fully the history that has resulted in the terminal roil afflicting the Middle East and international affairs today.

Berdine shows that the general impression given of Sykes is at variance with the facts. He supported Zionist ambitions as part of a pro-British post-war Middle East peace settlement, although he was not himself a Zionist. Likewise, far from championing the Arab cause, the book reveals much evidence that he routinely exhibited a complete lack of empathy with the Arabs

Brad Faught’s biography of Allenby explores the events and actions of Allenby’s life, as well as to examine his thinking on both the British Empire and the post-World War I international order. Faught brings clarity to Allenby’s decisive impact on British imperial policy in the making of the modern Middle East, and thereby on the long arc of the region’s continuing and controversial place in world affairs.

The King-Crane Commission of 1919 Here, in the first book-length analysis of the KingCrane report in nearly 50 years, Andrew Patrick chronicles the history of early US involvement in the region, and challenges extant interpretations of the turbulent relationship between the United States and the Middle East. In particular, it explores the King-Crane Commission's controversial dismissal of claims by Zionist representatives like David Ben-Gurion on their 'right to Palestine', which proved particularly divisive, with some historians labeling it prophetic and accurate, and others arguing that Commission members were biased and ill-informed.

America and the Making of Modern Turkey

Science, Culture and Political Alliances Ali Erken US aid organizations had a huge impact on political and economic thought in Turkey - acting as a form of 'soft power' for US national interests throughout the 20th Century.

Travel, Politics and the Idea of Empire

Lady Anne Blunt was a woman ahead of her time. After marrying the poet Wilfrid Scawen Blunt in 1869, the pair travelled extensively in the Middle East, developing an especial fondness for the region and its people. With a broad knowledge of the Arab world, she challenged prevailing assumptions and, as a result of her aristocratic heritage, exerted strong influence in British political circles. Her extensive journeys in the Mediterranean region, North Africa, Egypt, Arabia, Syria, Iraq and Persia formed the basis of her knowledge about the Middle East. She pursued an intimate knowledge of Bedouin life in Arabia, the town culture of Syria and Mesopotamia and the politics of nationalism in Egypt. In this book, Lisa Lacy explores the life, travels and political ideas of Lady Anne.

The Egyptian Assassin

Huzama Habayeb

Ezzedine C. Fishere

Translated by Kay Heikkinen, University of Chicago, USA

Translated by Jonathan Wright

A Novel

Hawa is a child of the grinding hardship of a Palestinian refugee camp. She had to survive the camp itself, as well as the humiliation and destruction of an abusive family life. But now something most unexpected has happened: she has fallen in love. Velvet unfolds over a day in Hawa’s life, as she makes plans for a new beginning that may take her out of the camp. She sifts back through her memories: the stories of her family, her childhood, and her beloved mentor, who invited her into the glamorous world of the rich women of Amman.

A lifetime ago, Fakhreddin had been an idealistic young lawyer, seeking to fight corruption from his modest quarter of Cairo. Then, a botched attempt on his life forced him to flee the country, propelling him on a wild journey that would lead to Afghanistan’s jihadi training camps. He was transformed into a trained killer, and never once lost sight of his goal: revenge. But did he lose sight of the only person that really mattered to him, his son, Omar?

The Hashish Waiter

Cairo Swan Song

Khairy Shalaby

Mekkawi Said

Translated by Adam Talib

A Novel

Tucked away in a rundown quarter, just out of sight of downtown Cairo, a group of intellectuals gather regularly to smoke hashish in Hakeem’s den. The den is the center of their lives, both a refuge and a stimulus, and at the center of the den is the remarkable man who keeps their hashish bowls topped up—Rowdy Salih. While his former life is a mystery to his loyal clientele of writers, painters, film directors, and even window dressers, each sees himself reflected in Salih; but without his humor, humility, or insight, or his occasional passions fueled by hootch.

In the shadows of great wealth, and among Cairo’s famous monuments, runs a world of street children. Mustafa, a former student radical who never really believed in the slogans, sets out to tell their story through a documentary he is making with his American girlfriend, Marcia. Alienated from a corrupt and corrupting society, Mustafa watches as the Cairo he cherishes crumbles around him. His former leftist comrades are now all either capitalists or Islamists, while his friends and acquaintances struggle to find lovers worthy of their love and causes worthy of their sacrifice.

Arabian Nights and Days

Naguib Mahfouz

Translated by Denys Johnson-Davies

Dweller in Truth Translated by Tagreid Abu-Hassabo In Akhenaten, Dweller in Truth, Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz tells with remarkable insight the story of the ‘heretic’ pharaoh whose iconoclastic and controversial career has such resonance with modern sensibilities. Years after the king’s death, a young man with a passion for the truth questions the pharaoh’s contemporaries— including his closest friends, his bitterest enemies, and his enigmatic wife Nefertiti—in an effort to discover what really happened in those strange, dark days at Akhenaten’s court. UK November 2019 • 120 pages PB 9789774169410 • £9.99 The American University in Cairo Press Middle East (excluding Afghanistan/Cyprus/Egypt/Turkey)

Naguib Mahfouz

Drawing on the characters and the spirit of the classic A Thousand and One Nights, Arabian Nights and Days is a significant departure for Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz. Though it is set in an Islamic city in medieval times, the modern reader will find much in this novel that is surprisingly familiar. It depicts a city plagued by widespread corruption among its most powerful citizens, and a pervasive sense of social unrest and insecurity. The chief of police is kept particularly busy dealing with the underground activities of various religious sects that are intent on changing the unscrupulous regime. Amid all of this, as in the Thousand and One Nights, genies appear out of bottles accidentally opened by innocent individuals, affecting their lives in exciting, sometimes detrimental ways.

Sugar Street

Palace of Desire

Translated by William M. Hutchins & Angele Botros Samaan

Translated by William M. Hutchins, Lorne Kenny & Olive E. Kenny

In this final volume of Naguib Mahfouz's masterpiece trilogy, alSayyid Ahmad is aging, ill, and confined behind the mashrabiya that once confined his wife. But in his grandsons we see a modern Egypt emerging: one becomes a communist activist, another a Muslim fundamentalist, both working for what they believe will be a better world. And a third launches a promising political career abetted by a homosexual relationship with a prominent politician.

In this second volume of The Cairo Trilogy, the master storyteller spins a sensual, provocative tale, following the al-Jawad family into the awakening world of the 1920s, where increased freedoms prove as troubling as domination and repression once did. Like Palace Walk, Palace of Desire affords a fascinating look at a period of modern Egyptian history by lovingly and painstakingly examining the day-today lives of a single family.

Akhenaten

The Day the Leader Was Killed Naguib Mahfouz

Translated by Malak Hashem Mahfouz traces the life of a middle-class Cairene family living in the early 1980s under President Sadat. It was an era of transition in Egypt, a time of acute crisis, as everywhere ordinary people were being pushed into the ‘’abyss of Infitah.’’ In the mad rush, there was a sense of an ending, a feeling of panic as the innocent helplessly watched their world rapidly disintegrating. A whole way of life with its age-old traditions and values was simply falling apart, making way for a merciless new materialism in ‘’the kingdom of the corrupt,’’ where survival had indeed to be for the fittest.

Modernism on the Nile

Art in Egypt between the Islamic and the Contemporary Alex Dika Seggerman Analyzing the modernist art movement that arose in Cairo and Alexandria from the late nineteenth century through the 1960s, Alex Dika Seggerman reveals how the visual arts were part of a multifaceted transnational modernism. While the work of diverse, major Egyptian artists during this era may have appeared to be secular, she argues, it reflected the subtle but essential inflection of Islam, as a faith, history, and lived experience, in the overarching development of Middle Eastern modernity.
