The Agonistic City?
State-Society Strife in Johannesburg Li Pernegger, South Africa An exploration of Johannesburg’s post-apartheid's city administration's governance of conflict from 1996 to the current day, in the case of service delivery protests and shifts in city policy. Li Pernegger focuses in-depth on the water wars in Orange Farm, insurgent informal traders in the inner city, and the billing battle fought by the middle class. Pernegger considers what the practical prospects of agonism might be for the local government to regard city strife in its practices of governance as a constructive – rather than destructive – force for change, and the realisation of democratic ideals for its ordinary citizens.

Malawi
Economy, Society and Political Affairs Edited by Matthias Rompel, Giessen University, Germany & Reimer Gronemeyer, Giessen University, Germany Subsistence agriculture remains at the very heart of Malawi's social fabric, and also lies at the root of its tremendous poverty. Yet while it is among the worst performers in terms of per capita income and infant mortality, it is also a surprising leader in other areas (such as freedom of the press), has enjoyed over fifty years of relative stability since independence, and still holds great potential for economic development. Bringing together some of the leading experts on the country, this collection offers a comprehensive introduction to contemporary Malawi, encompassing its economy, culture, and politics.

Does DIY urbanism present a form of resistance, or merely an acquiescence, to the inequalities that make it necessary?

Zainab Usman, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, D.C, USA Unravels the governance challenges preventing Nigeria from diversifying its economy away from oil. Through analysis drawing on economic data, policy documents and interviews, the book argues that Nigeria’s challenge of economic diversification is situated within a political setting of an unstable distribution of power among individual, group and institutional actors.

The Shi’i Ismaili Muslims of Central Asia have a complex political history. This book is the first English-language study of the Ismaili Muslims in this region, based on analysis of the Russian, Soviet and post-Soviet scholarship about them. It sheds new light on their history and heritage, and also shows how the Ismailis of Central Asia have been understood and presented in the academic literature.

Islam and the Liberal State
National Identity and the Future of Muslim Britain Stephen H. Jones, University of Birmingham, UK
Stories of Sufi Jihad from Muslim Hagiography This book presents a collection of hagiographical stories of Sufi saints, often referred to as friends of Gods. Examining hagiographical depictions of mujahids, Neale corrects misunderstandings of the term jihad in relation to Sufi thought and practice. Using Sufi hagiography, treatises, travel narratives and Muslim histories, each chapter comprises the lives of Sufi saints during significant historical events, from the Crusades to the Mongol Invasion and in regions ranging from Islamic Spain to North Africa and India. Using Persian and Arabic sources, Neale provides a sense of the range, themes and global dissemination of Sufi literature on war and heroism.

Sufism and the Scriptures
Metaphysics and Sacred History in the Thought of 'Abd al-Karim al-Jili Fitzroy Morrissey, University of Oxford, UK
Since Muslims settled in the UK in large numbers in the 1950s and 1960s, there has been a decisive shift in British Islamic legal, educational and representative institutions. Based on empirical resesarch, this book charts these developments to argue that a distinctive British Islam has been created and that the national orientation of Islam called for by British policymakers is, in fact, already happening. The book examines the context of ‘liberalism’ and shows how the expression of religious arguments in public settings allows for associations between religious groups and the state.
This book provides the first in-depth study of the concept of sacred history in the Sufi thinker ‘Abd al-Karim al-Jili’s masterpiece, al-Insan al-kamil (The Perfect Human). Through a translation and analysis of the key passages on the Qur’an, Torah, Psalms and Gospel, it shows how al-Jili’s view of sacred history is conditioned by his Ibn ‘Arabian Sufi metaphysics, whereby the phenomenal world is viewed as a manifestation of God, and the prophets and scriptures as special places where the divine attributes appear more completely.

History and Memory in the Abbasid Caliphate
Writing the Past in Medieval Arabic Literature Letizia Osti, University of Milan, Italy Abu Bakr al-Suli was a noted polymath and table companion in the courts of three Abbasid caliphs. In addition to his work as observer of the court, he is perhaps best known for his poetry - which would have a long-lasting influence on Arabic literature - historiographical insight and skill as a chess player. Letizia Osti here provides the first full-length English-language study devoted to al-Suli. In so doing, she sheds light onto broader questions, such as: How did the Abbasid court make sense of the past? What was the importance of written culture? And book collecting? What does ‘historiography’ mean in a medieval Islamic context?

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.

The Huthi Movement in Yemen
Partition’s First Generation
Edited by Abdullah Hamidaddin, al-Mesbar Studies and Research Centre, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Amber H. Abbas, Saint Joseph's University, USA
Ideology, Ambition and Security in the Arab Gulf
The Houthi rebels in Yemen are a resistance movement going back decades. But what has motivated their social movement to fundamentally re-shape Yemen, and what are the group’s local and regional ambitions? This book provides the first comprehensive critical analysis dedicated to the Houthis. Across four parts and 17 chapters, the book examines how the movement is challenging traditional religious authority, reshaping tribal values and roles in Yemen, constructing new collective memories and identities, and infusing Yemen’s mediascape with their ideological creed. Contributors focus on the movement’s specific beliefs and how these affect Yemen and security in the Arab Gulf.

Patterns of Wisdom in Safavid Iran
The Philosophical School of Isfahan and the Gnostic of Shiraz Janis Esots, Institute of Ismaili Studies, UK The intellectual richness of seventeenth-century Safavid Iran is epitomised by the philosophical school of Isfahan. However, the identification of a 'philosophical school of Isfahan' was only proposed in 1956, by the celebrated French Iranologist Henry Corbin, who noted the unifying Islamic Neoplatonist character of some 20 thinkers and spiritual figures; this grouping remained unchallenged for some fifty years. In this highly original work, Janis Esots investigates the legitimacy of the term 'school', delving into the complex philosophies of its three most important figures - Mir Damad, Mulla Sadra and Rajab 'Ali Tabrizi and highlighting the differences between their thought.

Patriotism, Religion and Power in the Literatures of Iran From the Shanameh to the Present Minoo Derayeh, York University, Canada Through the interpretation of literary sources, this book examines the ways religions and patriotism have often converged to bring about cultural, religious and social and political change in Iran. Derayeh examines Iranian political and social relations via two core themes throughout its history; the relationship between the ruler and the ruled, and the role of justice and injustice. The book explores the stories of Kings, Gods, religions, cultures, political systems and sacred aspects of these in Iranian mythology. Derayeh analyses a multiplicity of literary works from the poetry of Ferdowsi, Parvaz and Hafez, to the sacred Zoroastrian Avestas, to the memoirs of Mohammad Mosaddeq, Aytaollah Abulqasem and Hossein Makki and the works of modern female Iranian writers, to provide a new perspective on what she argues is a recurrent theme in Iranian political and cultural history.

Space, Place, and Identity in Muslim South Asia Muslim voices have been only faintly discernible in partition scholarship that focuses overwhelmingly on Hindus displaced from Pakistan areas. Partition’s First Generation traces the paths of Aligarh Muslim University graduates who came of age during the anticolonial struggle in India and settled throughout the subcontinent after Partition. A new archive of oral history narratives from former students, the book showcases the histories of Partition as yet unheard. In contrast to existing studies, these stories lead across the boundaries of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and reframe Partition to draw attention to the ways individuals experienced ongoing changes associated with 'partitioning'.

Orientalism and IranianAmerican Memoirs
Representing Post-Revolutionary Iran Hossein Nazari This book offers an analysis of the processes of production, promotion, and reception of memoirs of diasporic Iranian-American authors. It provides new perspectives on famous examples of the genre such as Betty Mahmoody’s Not Without My Daughter, Azar Nafisi’s Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books and Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. Hossein Nazari places these texts in their social and political contexts, tracing their origins within the trope of the America captivity narrative as well as teasing out and critiquing neo-Orientalist tendencies within. The book analyses the structural means by which stereotypes about Islam and women in the Islamic Republic in these narratives are privileged by news media and the creative industries, while also charting a growing number of 'counterhegemonic' memoirs which challenge these narratives by representing more nuanced accounts of life in Iran after 1979.

The Fall of Reza Shah
The Abdication, Exile, and Death of Modern Iran’s Founder Shaul Bakhash, George Mason University, USA Shaul Bakhash here recounts the little-known details of Reza Shah's forced abdication from the Iranian throne and, drawing on previously unutilized material from the British archives, reveals for the first time that the British considered reinstalling on the throne a little-regretted previous dynasty. The book charts Reza Shah’s final journey through Iran and into his unhappy exile; his life in exile, his reminiscences; his testy relationship with the British in Mauritius and Johannesburg; and the circumstances of his death. Additionally, it covers the immense fortune Reza Shah amassed during his years in power, his finances in exile, and the drawn-out dispute over the settlement of his estate after his death.

Censorship of Literature in PostRevolutionary Iran

Alireza Abiz, Independent Scholar
Idea of Iran Vol. 11
This volume explores the troubled eighteenth century in Iran, between the collapse of the Safavids and the establishment of the new Qajar dynasty. Despite the striking military successes of Nader Shah, in defeating the Afghan invaders, driving back the Ottomans in the west, and launching campaigns into India and Central Asia, Iran steadily lost territory in the Caucasus and the east, where Persian arms failed to recover lands lost to the Afghans and the Ozbeks. The book examines the art and primary evidence from the period to illuminate and document the changes of Iran's internal conditions and international situation.

Politics and Culture since 1979
In this pioneering study, Alireza Abiz offers an indepth, interdisciplinary analysis of how censorship and the political order of Iran have influenced contemporary Persian literature, both in terms of content and tone. As censorship is unrecorded and not officially acknowledged in Iran, the author has examined newspaper records and conducted firsthand interviews with Iranian poets and writers, looking into the ways in which poets and writers attempt to subvert the codes of censorship by using symbolism and figurative language to hide their more controversial messages.

Religion and Daily Life in the Mountains of Iran
Persian Petroleum
Erika Friedl, Western Michigan University, USA
Leonardo Davoudi, LSE, UK
Theology, Saints, People
About ninety percent of people in Iran and nearly everybody in Boir Ahmad are Muslims of the Twelver Shia group. However, studies of tribal people’s religiosity, beliefs and rituals are scarce, and many researchers have discounted their views and experience, regarding the tribes as only 'nominally religious' because their practices do not fit in with the mainstream practices and ideas in Iran. Religion and Daily Life in the Mountains of Iran corrects this view and provides a hallmark study of tribal people’s religiosity demonstrating the great diversity of their philosophical and religious ideas.

The Contest for Rule in Eighteenth-Century Iran
Oil, Empire and Revolution in Late Qajar Iran Using newly-uncovered private papers, as well as public and private archives in three countries, this book tells the definitive history of the first discovery of oil in Iran - the first discovery of oil in the Middle East. Exploring the formal and informal dealings of politicians, investors, civil servants and intermediaries Leonardo Davoudi charts the development of Persian petroleum from uncertain beginnings to becoming one of Britain’s largest oil companies with the British government as its principal shareholder. Assessing the relationship between economic and political forces within the British empire and the relationship of foreign economic forces and domestic political forces in Persia, the book also explores the role of intermediation, informal empire, the Anglo-Russian rivalry over Persia, British naval developments and Persian political developments.

Political Factions and the Ruling Elite
Zana Gulmohamad, University of Sheffield, UK Based on dozens of interviews with senior officials and politicians, this book analyses how the sovereign federal government of Iraq and the nonsovereign Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) have functioned and worked together since the U.S-led invasion in 2003. The ruling elites and political factions in Baghdad and Erbil are shown to create foreign policies according to their agendas. Yet Zana Gulmohamad places this incoherent model of foreign policy making in the context of the country’s fragmented political and social context, and the events of the wider region.

The Weaponized Camera in the Middle East

Videography, Aesthetics, and Politics in Israel and Palestine
Using video stills from over 5,000 hours of footage from the private archive of B’Tselem as core material, this book explores the politics of videographic practice in Israel/Palestine. The book analyses citizen surveillance: how Palestinians originally filmed to “shoot back” at Israelis, and also traces how Israeli private citizens began filming back at Palestinians with their own cameras, including personal cell phone cameras, thus creating a simultaneous, echoing counter surveillance. Complicating the notion that visual evidence alone can secure justice, the Weaponized Camera asks how what is seen, but also who is seeing, affects how conflicts are visually recorded and thus offers a unique perspective on the strategies and battlegrounds of the Israel/ Palestine conflict.

How are forbidden histories and memories retold in Israel/Palestine? This book investigates the feelings and attitudes of young people from both Palestinian refugee camps and right-wing settlement homes. Victoria Biggs argues that the stories of these young people can reveal much more about their feelings and experiences than qualitative interviews or quantitative research. In the book these stories are anaylsed to reveal the young people’s views about borders, unseen places, violence, identity, memory and those they see as ‘the other’. The book shows that boundary spaces are fertile ground for the transmission of stories and forbidden memories.

Understanding Revolutions Laughter in Occupied Palestine Comedy and Identity in Art and Film
Chrisoula Lionis, University of Manchester, UK This is the first book to provide a combined overview of Palestinian art and film, showing the ways in which both art forms have developed in response to critical moments in Palestinian history over the last century. These key moments, Lionis argues, have radically transformed contemporary Palestinian collective identity and in turn Palestinian cultural output. Mapping these critical junctions - beginning with the Balfour Declaration of 1917 to the Oslo Accords in 1993 - she explores the historical trajectory of Palestinian art and film, and explains how to the failure of the peace process has led to the present proliferation of humour in Palestinian visual culture.

Opening Acts in Tunisia
Azmi Bishara, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, Qatar The Tunisian Revolution is the only revolt of the Arab Spring that is widely considered to have ‘succeeded’. In this book, published in English for the first time, Azmi Bishara grapples with the specific political make-up of Tunisia, and how it determined the survival of the revolution. The book answers several important questions, such as how must social movements deal with states which refuse to participate in the dialectic process of reform; and what happens when a regime leverages fissures in collective identity to threaten the breakup of not just the state, but the entire social fabric of a country?

Nationalism and Jewish Identity in Morocco A History of a Minority Community
Kristin Hissong, King's College London, UK
From the Rif War to the rebellion of 1958, the Berbers (Imazighen) have played a central role in the history of Moroccan resistance to colonialism in the twentieth-century. This book provides an indepth overview of Berber resistance to the French campaigns of 'Pacification', and the subsequent struggle over Berber identity in the independence era. Relying on a wealth of oral sources and extensive field-work, it provides the most complete history to date of one of the most important Berber communities in North Africa.
This book writes Morocco’s rich Jewish heritage back into the protectorate period and explains why the country’s national identity shifted so dramatically. At the heart of the book are interviews with Moroccan Jews who lived during the French Protectorate, remain in Morocco, and who can reflect personally on everyday Jewish life during this era. The book also provides analysis of the competing nationalist narratives that played such a large part in the making of Morocco’s identity: French cultural-linguistic assimilation, Political Zionism, and Moroccan nationalism.

History, Identity and Politics Hakan Mertcan
This book charts the history, identity-formation and politics of the Arab 'Alawis of Turkey. It examines the attitudes to the 'Alawis in the early years of the Turkish Republic and the one party era, wherein, as with other religious and ethnic minorities, 'Turkification' policies led to the suppression of 'Alawi identity. It also explores the multi-party period when 'Sunnification' policies led to further suppression, culminating in further assimilationist policies under the junta of the 1980s. Throughout, the author draws on fieldwork surveys and research in the Turkish state archives to offer various perspectives on the relationship between the 'Alawis and the state, and the evolution of 'Alawi political identity this gave rise to.

New Actors and Modes of Participation in a Changing Society Cengiz Gunes, Open University, UK Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Turkey relentlessly persecuted any form of Kurdish dissent. This book is a timely contribution to the debate on the Kurds’ political representation in Turkey, tracing the different forms it has taken since 1950. Based on survey data obtained from over 350 individuals, it is the first book to provide an in-depth analysis of Kurdish attitudes from across different segments of Kurdish society, including the elite, the business and professional classes, women and youth activists. It is an intimate portrait of how Kurds today are dealing with the challenges and difficulties of political representation.

Nationalism, Violence and Empire in the Long Nineteenth-Century Published in Association with the British Institute at Ankara Rejecting traditional Orientalist narratives, this work examines Balkan nationalist movements in the Ottoman Empire within their broader western European historical contexts. Drawing on a range of hitherto unstudied archival research, contributors variously consider the complex roles played by Europe’s internal geo-political ruptures in forming the Balkan states, and demonstrate how the Balkan intelligentsia drew inspiration from, and interacted with, contemporary European thought.

Containing quantitative and qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with high profile AKP officials, observations at AKP rallies and headquarters, and analysis of Erdogan’s speeches from 2002 to 2018, the book shows how his method of communication changed over time to prioritise a “New Turkey” to replace Atatürk and his legacy.

The First Capital of the Ottoman Empire
Edited by Monica M. Ringer, Amherst College, USA & Etienne E. Charrière, Bilkent University, Turkey
Suna Cagaptay, Bahcesehir University, Turkey
Reform and Translation in the Tanzimat Novel
This volume focuses on the novel as a literary form that was central to the Ottoman Tanzimat project. Codified outside of the Ottoman space, the novel genre was adopted in the nineteenth-century as a didactic tool to model the new citizens of the Empire. Essays in this book explore the translation of the novel form and its deployment in the late Ottoman cultural context. Authors observe the project of modernity as Tanzimat novelists themselves viewed it, from a variety of disciplinary vantage points (including sociology, political science, urban studies, art history, affect, and the history of the body).

Focusing on Byzantine and Ottoman archaeology, this book explores the transition of Bursa from a Byzantine Christian city, to an Islamic Ottoman one. It argues that Bursa was a multi-faith capital, and that in the records of Bursa we can see the religious plurality and modernity of the Ottoman world in miniature. Rooted in the author’s archaeological expertise, it reveals a richer and more accurate narrative of the city than existing studies to date, examining archaeological sources as well as visual and written sources by travellers.

What is the role of women in Turkey’s global food production? This book traces how the Turkish state has shaped food production for the global market. The focus is the tomato industry, which has the highest export rate amongst fresh and processed fruit and vegetables in Turkey. Based on participant observation and interviews, Emine Erdogan foregrounds the stories of the those involved in production including the landowning family, local rural workers, Kurdish seasonal migrant workers, women factory workers and factory managers.

Women as Imams
Classical Islamic Sources and Modern Debates on Leading Prayer Simonetta Calderini, University of Roehampton, UK In recent years, media reports of women Imams throughout the world, in places such as Tamil Nadu and Uzbekistan, and the training of women preachers in Syria, Morocco and Malaysia have become increasingly frequent and, as a result, have caused widespread debate amongst scholars and clerics. Looking back at medieval laws which provide historic-textual precedents on the question of female ritual leadership, and looking ahead to present day initiatives, this book examines the permissibility of the practice of women Imams and addresses wider questions on the role of women in Islam.

From State Feminism to Authoritarian Rule
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.

Masculinities and Displacement in the Middle East Syrian Refugees in Egypt
Magdalena Suerbaum, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religion and Ethnic Diversity, Germany After Morsi was toppled in Egypt, Syrians living in the country became the subject of a government-organized media campaign that labelled them terrorists, supporters of Morsi and allies of the Muslim Brotherhood. This book examines how this atmosphere, the experience of forced migration, and the label of 'refugee' impacted on middle-class Syrian men. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork including interviews and participant observation, Magdalena Suerbaum argues that more attention must be paid to intersectionality when examining the impact of forced migration on individuals and communities.

Taking a chronological perspective, topics range from masculinity and femininity in religious and legal medieval texts to the idea of passive and active sexual roles in the Ottoman period and transgender identity in contemporary Arabic literature. The authors use a wide range of sources making clear to readers that constructions of gender and sexuality are multiple, linked to genre, and shift over time.

Film Production and Representing Dissent Ahmed Ghazal
Egypt's film industry is the largest in the Middle East, with an output that spreads across the region. Ahmed Ghazal here looks at the way in which Egyptian film has shaped, and been shaped by, the events leading up to and beyond Egypt's 2011 revolution. Using interviews, analysis of films, and archival research, he analyses the critical issues affecting the political economy of the industry, technological developments of independent productions and representations of dictatorship, poverty, corruption and police brutality that have accompanied the people's calls for freedom - and the counterrevolution that has tried to suppress them.

Cultural Entanglement in the Pre-Independence Arab World Arts, Thought and Literature
Edited by Anthony Gorman, The University of Edinburgh, UK & Sarah Irving, Linnaeus University, Sweden This book examines the ways in which non-Arabic cultural influences interacted with the rich, complex and sometimes conflictual environment of the Arab world in the pre-independence era. Comprising 11 detailed case studies, including topics such as the songs of Egyptian forced labourers in the British Army in World War I, the translation and commentary of an Ottoman text in interwar Palestine, and the contested use of French in the Algerian independence movement, it highlights the complex interplay of colonial pressures, traditional and novel art forms, local and international practices, notions of identity and belonging.

Yet, there is almost no research that has analysed this footage.

Agamben’s ideas of the state of exception and bare life provide important intellectual tools to understand the nature of sovereignty and the regulation of life, which has largely been missing in the study of the region.

Gilad Ben-Nun also looks at how the convention has been applied or circumvented in different cases including: the 2009 Gaza War; the war crimes tribunal in the former Yugoslavia; Nicaragua vs. the United States; and the conflict in Syria.

How did Edward Said, the famous Palestinian American scholar and activist, arrive at his famous maxim to ‘speak truth to power’?
An important source of information for the history of government, landholding, and the economy of the early Islamic world, this new translation of Al-Baladhuri's Futuh al-buldan (Conquests of the Countries) is fully annotated with a scholarly apparatus and commentary on the places, events and individuals mentioned, will be essential reading for scholars and students of Islamic Studies and Middle East history.
This dual biographical study examines the lives of Said and the eminent Lebanese philosopher and diplomat Charles Malik, a relative 30 years his senior whom Said was influenced by. Exploring issues of religion, nationalism, and the effect of the US involvement in the Middle East had on Arab intellectuals, M. D. Walhout shows how Said came to reject much of what Malik stood for: Christian faith, hardline anti-Communism and the benign nature of American power.
