Nicole Pope, Journalist and writer, Turkey "[Pope] does not take for granted the irreflexive impenetrability that we attribute to time-honored ritual, one that has led to a deterministic view of honor killings as a practice perpetrated by people brainwashed by culture or religion… the author argues that honor killings are a pliant and evolving phenomenon, often aggravated by the rapid changes of globalization. Such an argument helps us to contextualize the notion of tradition within the framework of the modern and think of the ways it ‘evolves’ within modern and liberal circumstance."– Turkish Review Thousands of women are murdered every year by close relatives for allegedly violating an unwritten social code or rebelling against the patriarchal order. The book examines the roots and evolution of honor-based violence, as well as the ongoing struggle to eradicate it worldwide.

Challenging Neoliberalism at Turkey’s Gezi Park From Private Discontent to Collective Class Action Efe Can Gürcan, Simon Fraser University, Canada, Efe Peker, Simon Fraser University, Canada "This provocative critical analysis of a local movement draws globally-relevant conclusions. Theoretically sophisticated, critically engaged, and strategically nuanced, the authors' account of the Gezi Park mobilization is an exemplary reflective account of innovative disruptive politics in face of a distinctive form of neoliberal politics. Multifaceted in its approach, concerned with conjunctural as well as structural factors, it provides new insights into the Gezi Park movement and offers important lessons for resisting and moving beyond neoliberalism." – Bob Jessop, Distinguished Professor and Founding Director of the Institute for Advanced studies, Lancaster University, UK In Challenging Neoliberalism at Turkey's Gezi Park, Gürcan and Peker explore the events of May 31, 2013, when what began as a localized demonstration against the demolition of Gezi Park, a public park in Istanbul turned into a nationwide protest cycle with an unprecedented form and scale never before seen in Turkey's history.

After the Lebanese Civil War, many Lebanese novelists committed themselves to building a ‘memory for the future.’ What resulted was a vital contribution to the legacy of contemporary Arabic literature.

Wagenknecht, Independent Scholar, Germany "This first comprehensive analysis of Iranian American autobiographical writing is insightful and richly nuanced. Laying bare the multiple contradictory impulses that inform an autobiography, Constructing Identity in IranianAmerican Self-Narrative reveals how writing about the self is entangled in the complex workings of memory, self-positioning vis-à-vis a frequently over-determined past, and the performance of a new identity." - Nasrin Rahimieh, Professor of Comparative Literature, University of California, Irvine, USA Shaped by the experiences of the Iranian Revolution, Iranian-American autobiographers use this chaotic past to tell their current stories in the United States.

HISTORY Social Movements in Egypt and Iran Tara Povey, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK This book analyses the reform movement in Iran and the Egyptian opposition movement since the early 1990s in their historical contexts. It argues that the contemporary movements seen on the streets of the regions today represent the culmination of over twenty years of mobilisation by social movements.

Ahmed Al-Dawoody, Zayed University, United Arab Emirates "This is a highly technical book that will provide answers to many researchers on its dual topics of the Sha'ria position on the resort of the use of force and on the means employed during armed conflict."

- Cherif Bassiouni, Distinguished Research Professor of Law Emeritus, President Emeritus, International Human Rights Law Institute, DePaul University College of Law, Chicago, USA

The Crisis Over the Eastern Church in the Era of the Crimean War This new political history of the Orthodox Church in the Ottoman Empire explains why Orthodoxy became the subject of acute political competition between the Great Powers during the mid 19th century. It also explores how such rivalries led, paradoxically, both to secularizing reforms and to Europe's last great war of religion - the Crimean War.

Ahmed Al-Dawoody examines the justifications and regulations for going to war in both international and domestic armed conflicts under Islamic law. He studies the various kinds of use of force by both state and nonstate actors in order to determine the nature of the Islamic law of war.

PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION The Virginity Trap in the Middle East

FILM, MEDIA AND CULTURE

David Ghanim, University of Gothenburg, Sweden "This is a scholarly yet passionate call for a genuine Arab Spring, one that will free both men and women from an obsessive, unnatural, and destructive definition of family and male honor rooted in a cult of female virginity and fidelity. David Ghanim's work is humane, compassionate, bold, and forwardthinking. It deserves a wide, global audience. The ideas set forth here are even more relevant now precisely because the Middle East is in such profound turmoil."-Phyllis Chesler, Emerita Professor of Psychology at City University of New York, USA, and author of Women and Madness and An American Bride in Kabul This book is a social critique of the cultural taboo of the female virginity in the Middle East. It highlights the unobtainability of this cultural myth and its multilevel destructive influences on various aspects of social life.

Jaffer Sheyholislami, Carleton University, Canada "This long-overdue study provides a very lively survey of the making and unmaking of national identity in the context of unceasing conflicts between the Kurds, the states ruling over them, and regional and great powers involved in the region.

Coherent, compelling, and creative, it pushes the boundaries of the growing area of studies of nationalism, communication technologies, and the internet by focusing on one of the most complex (trans)national cases, and demonstrating that the new media both unite and divide the nation. Well written and significant [.]" - Amir Hassanpour, Associate Professor, Department of Near & Middle Eastern Civilizations, University of Toronto, Canada Informed by the interdisciplinary approach of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and theories of identity, nation, and media, this study investigates the ways Kurds, the world's largest stateless nation, use satellite television and internet to construct their identities.

Culture, Media, and Western-Muslim Intersections Edited by Mahmoud Eid, University of Ottawa, Canada, Karim H. Karim, School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University, Canada "As the world contemplates the consequences of a global 'war on terror' that often positions predominantly Judeo-Christian Western societies against their Muslim counterparts, and as social and mass media bring to our collective consciousness horrific murders committed by terrorists purporting to act in the name of Islam, Re-Imagining the Other: Culture, Media, and Western-Muslim Intersections (2014) is a timely and welcome intellectual intervention. [...] [F]eaturing a collection of thoughtprovoking chapters written by well-known critical scholars, the book is informed by the position that a 'clash of ignorance' rather than a 'clash of civilizations' thesis better explains contemporary conflicts between Western and Muslim societies, which increasingly find expression in violence and social exclusion. [...] [This volume] speaks eloquently to the deep structure of the clash of ignorance and its ramifications for Western-Muslim relations; that is its strength and why it is a must-read. [...] [It] makes a significant contribution to critical scholarship on Western-Muslim relations, especially how mass mediatized narrative (re)productions inform these relations. Accordingly, this book is strongly recommended especially for graduate and senior undergraduate critical media studies courses" Felix Odartey-Wellington, University of Ottawa, Canada, Global Media Journal, Canadian Edition This volume addresses the conceptualizations of the Other carried out by Western and Muslim societies historically and in contemporary times through empirical case studies.
