MIDDLE EAST CULTURE Dummy text to keep placeholder
A Genealogy of Islamic Feminism Patterns and Change in Indonesia Etin Anwar Series: Routledge Islamic Studies Series This book offers a new insight on the intersection between Islam and feminism and the impact it has on Muslim women’s self-narratives of equality from its early encounter during colonialism to its emergence in the 1990s in Indonesia. The book explores the debates over the changing relationship between Islam and feminism within the contexts of the historical encounters between global and local forces. Global forces include Dutch colonialism, Islamic reformism in Egypt, Western feminism, developmentalism, and United Nations bodies, whereas local forces refer to women’s movements (gerakan perempuan), governmental politics, adat (customary practices), and variations of Islamic revivalism.

Arab-American Aesthetics Literature, Material Culture, Film and Theatre Edited by Therí A. Pickens Series: Routledge Studies on Middle Eastern Diasporas This book seeks to unsettle current conversations within Arab American Studies that neglect aesthetics as a set of choices and constraints. Rather than divorce aesthetics from politics, the book sutures the two more closely together by challenging the causal relationship so often attributed to them. The conversations include formal choices, but also extend to the broad idea of what makes a work distinctly Arab American. That is, what about its beauty, ugliness, sublimity, or humor is explicitly tied to it as part of a tradition of Arab American arts?

Abdulla Abdulaal Series: Routledge Political Economy of the Middle East and North Africa The large oil revenues obtained by Bahrain have been used wisely to fund a large public sector and to provide generous social welfare benefits, all in the interests of ensuring public support for the regime. This policy is coming under increasing strain as oil revenues decline and government debt rises. This book traces the development of fiscal policy in Bahrain, relates it to changing political and social conditions and discusses the increasing difficulties facing the government. It considers attempts to diversify the economy and sets the problems in the wider context of economies and international relations in the Gulf, and academic debates about the nature of the rentier state.

A History of the Muslim World to 1750
Britain and State Formation in Arabia 1962–1971
The Making of a Civilization
From Aden to Abu Dhabi
Vernon O. Egger, Georgia Southern University, USA
Edited by Clive Jones
A History of the Muslim World to 1750 traces the development of Muslim civilizations from the career of Prophet Muhammad to the Ottoman conquest of the Middle East. Coverage includes the unification of the Dar a1-Islam (the territory ruled by Muslims), the fragmentation into various religious and political groups, and the series of catastrophes in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries that threatened to destroy the civilization. The book offers students a balanced coverage of the Muslim world from the Iberian Peninsula to South Asia, detailed accounts of all cultures including major Shi'ite groups and the Sunni community, primary sources, a glossary, charts, and timelines.
At a time of state fragmentation across the Middle East, this book offers important new historical insights into how the process of state creation by external powers has always been a fraught process across Arabia. The chapters were originally published in a special issue in Middle Eastern Studies.

History, People and Political Struggle
Conflict, Colonialism and the Politics of Remembrance in Greek Cypriot Society
Azzedine Layachi, St John's University, USA Series: The Contemporary Middle East This book starts by covering the birth of Algerian nation (a community connected by a homeland, the Arabic language, and Islam), gives an overview of the country under French colonialism from 1832 to 1962—including the seven-year war for independence, and then tackles the state-building efforts, the elaboration of the socialist economy and its subsequent demise by the early 1990s, the decade-long armed Islamist rebellion, the central role of ; the military in the political system, and the unfolding efforts at political and economic liberalization and their outcomes.

John Burke, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Modern European History This book examines the ideological and socio-political discourses shaping the remembrance and representation of Britain and the Cyprus conflict of 1974 within Greek Cypriot society. By combining the official to the popular, and drawing on an extensive range of oral history interviews, this monograph shows that a suspicion born out of Britain’s long (neo)-colonial connection towards Cyprus has come to frame the image and understanding of British actions associated with the events, and lasting consequences, of 1974. Indeed, with the island of Cyprus still divided, and the requirement to remember a national imperative, this book has a direct contemporary relevance.

Cultures of Voting in Pre-modern Europe
Routledge Handbook on Jerusalem
Edited by Serena Ferente, King’s College London, UK, Lovro Kunčević and Miles Pattenden, University of Oxford, UK
Edited by Suleiman A. Mourad, Smith College, Massachusetts, USA, Bedross Der Matossian and Naomi Koltun-Fromm
Cultures of Voting in Pre-modern Europe explores those political practices and values that could be termed ‘cultures of voting’ and how they shaped intra- and inter-communal relationships. The book explores this across different contexts of voting, including both elections and methods of reaching collective political decisions. It combines traditional constitutional history with social and cultural history, the history of material culture and of political thought. It excavates the influence of ancient models and traditions on medieval and early modern polities and questions how far these cultures contributed to institutional developments in voting in the Age of Revolutions and beyond.
Consisting of 35 chapters from leading specialists, the Routledge Handbook on Jerusalem provides a broad spectrum of studies related to the city and its history. Beginning with a historical overview, the chapters also focus in on the major accomplishments of particular periods, such as the Holy Sepulchre or the Dome of the Rock. Individual chapters arededicated to major architectural monuments. This is followed by chapters addressing particular issues or themes, including religious symbolism and pilgrimage, religious and social relations, social and economic history, architecture and archaeology, maps, eschatology, and politics.

Israel
Russia's Middle East Policy
Ilan Pappé, University of Exeter, UK Series: The Contemporary Middle East
From Lenin to Putin Alexey Vasiliev Series: Durham Modern Middle East and Islamic World Series
Israel is one of the few states whose legitimacy is still questioned, and its future affects the future of the Middle East as a whole and probably the stability of the international system all together. This book seeks to update analysis of the political history, contemporary politics, economics and foreign policy of this unique state. Divided into two parts, the first is a general history of Israel since its inception until 2000. The second part focuses on three contemporary aspects of present day Israel: its political economy, its culture and its international relations. An epilogue describes Israel’s complex international image today and its impact on the state and its future.

This extraordinary book charts the development of Russia’s relations with the Middle East from the Russian Revolution of 1917 to the present. It covers both high and low points – the closeness to Nasser’s Egypt, followed by reversal; the successful invasion of Afghanistan which later turned into a disaster; the relationship with Syria, which continues to be of huge significance; and much more. Written by one of Russia’s leading Arabists who was himself involved in the formation of policy, the book is engagingly written, extremely insightful, telling us things which only the author is in a position to tell us, and remarkably frank, not sparing senior Soviet and Russian figures from criticism.

The Chaldean Catholic Church
The History of Modern Iran since 1797
Modern History, Ecclesiology and Church-State Relations
Ali Ansari, University of St Andrews, UK
Kristian Girling Series: Culture and Civilization in the Middle East This book provides a history of the Chaldean Catholic Church from its origins as a numerically minor faction of the East Syriac Christian tradition (Church of the East) in northern Mesopotamia in the sixteenth century through to its modern status as a significant religious, social, economic and cultural contributor to Iraqi life. It argues for the gradual and consistent development of a Chaldean identity grounded and incarnated in the Mesopotamian-Iraqi environment yet open to engaging with cultures throughout the Middle East and West Asia and, especially since 2003 to Europe, north America and Australasia.

The Empress Nurbanu and Ottoman Politics in the 16th Century
The Mongols in Iran
Building the Atik Valide
George Lane Series: Routledge Studies in the History of Iran and Turkey
Pinar Kayaalp Series: Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern History Nurbanu (1525-1583) is one of the most prominent royal women of the Ottoman dynasty. Her political career began when she was chosen as the favorite concubine of the crown prince Selim. When her son became Sultan, Nurbanu officially took on the title of Valide Sultan, or Queen Mother, holding the highest office of the imperial harem until her death. This book concentrates on the Atik Valide mosque complex, which constitutes the architectural embodiment of Nurbanu’s prestige, power and piety. The arrangement of the chapters is designed to enable readers to reconsider Ottoman imperial patronage practices using the architectural enterprise of a remarkable woman as the common thread.

The History and Politics of the Bedouin Reimagining Nomadism in Modern Palestine Seraje Assi Series: Routledge Studies on the Arab-Israeli Conflict This book examines contending visions on nomadism in modern Palestine, with a special focus on the British Mandate period. Extending from the late Ottoman period to the founding of the State of Israel, it highlights both ruptures and continuities with the Ottoman past and the Israeli present, to prove that nomadism was not invented by the British or the Zionists, but is the shared legacy of Ottoman, British, Zionist, Palestinian, and most recently, Israeli attitudes to the Bedouin of Palestine.

The Unending War on Iraq Tareq Y Ismael Series: Durham Modern Middle East and Islamic World Series The murderous conflict in Iraq and the humanitarian catastrophe fomented by the 2003 Anglo-American invasion continue to have a huge impact. This book assesses the extent of the continuing damage. It considers the numerous reports compiled over recent years by UN agencies and similar bodies which provide a great deal of empirical evidence showing how the catastrophe continues. The book includes lengthy extracts from these reports, which document problems such as food scarcity, forced displacement of people, the adverse effect on children, the adverse economic impact, abuse of women and human rights abuses. The overall picture painted is that the situation in Iraq continues dire.

Inconsistencies and Paradoxes Adeeb Ziadeh Series: Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Democratization and Government This book sheds light on the EU’s policies in Palestine mainly from 2003- 2013, and provides a thorough examination of the inconsistencies and paradoxes in the EU discourse towards Hamas, and the determinants underlying such contradictions. It explores the reasons behind the EU labelling the Hamas a terrorist organization and discusses why the EU has boycotted its democratically elected body since 2006. Significantly, the book looks at whether the EU jeopardized its reputation and contravened its core normative values and objectives (democracy promotion, human rights, the rule of law and fundamental freedoms) by such a categorisation of Hamas.

Hamas and Ideology Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi on the Jews, Zionism and Israel Shaul Bartal, Bar Ilan University, Israel and Nesya Rubinstein-Shemer Series: Israeli History, Politics and Society This book is about Sheikh Yūsuf al-Qaradawī, a very popular Egyptian-Qatari Muslim legal authority, regarded by many as the most influential Muslim jurist of our time. The subject of jihād in Palestine is a salient feature of Qaradawī’s thought and is addressed frequently in his books. Despite this, there has not yet been a comprehensive and systematic study of the subject. This book paints al- Qaradawī’s portrait within the context of the subject of the struggle for Palestine.

For over sixty years, Israel’s foreign policy establishment has looked at its regional policy through the lens of a geopolitical concept named "the periphery doctrine". The idea posited that due to the fundamental hostility of neighbouring Arab countries, Israel ought to counterbalance this threat by engaging with the "periphery" of the Arab world through clandestine diplomacy. Based on original research in the Israeli diplomatic archives and interviews with key past and present decision makers, this book shows that this concept of a periphery was, and remains, a core driver of Israel’s foreign policy.

Islamists of the Maghreb
Middle East Politics and International Relations
Jeffry R. Halverson and Nathaniel Greenberg Series: Routledge Studies in Political Islam
Crisis Zone
Islamists of the Maghreb is a scholarly yet accessible history of the Islamist political parties in the Maghreb that rose to prominence through elections in the wake of the historic Arab Spring. It provides readers with a concise history of Sunni Islam's establishment in North Africa, the violent struggles of the era of European colonial occupation, and the subsequent quest for an affirmation of Muslim identities in its wake. Exploring Islamism as an identity movement rooted in the colonial experience, it argues that votes for Islamist parties after the Arab Spring reflected a universal human need for an authentic sense of self, especially in the face of suppression by powerful elites.
This textbook provides a comprehensive account of contemporary Middle Eastern politics. It has been designed with undergraduate education in mind. Each chapter acts as a stand-alone reading that includes history, context and contemporary implications in a chronological order.

Politics and Gender Identity in Turkey
Cultural and Political Context in Britain
Centralised Islam for Socio-Economic Control Umut Korkut, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK and Hande Eslen-Ziya, University of Brighton, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Politics
Damon Lee Perry Series: Routledge Studies in Political Islam This book is the first sustained analysis of one particular strand of Islamist activism in Britain, namely, ‘participationist’ Islamism associated with the Muslim Brotherhood and Jamaat-i-Islami.
This book looks at how centralized religion has turned into a means of controlling and organizing the Turkish polity under the AKP (Justice and Development Party) governments by presenting the results from a study on Turkish hutbes (mosque sermons), analysing how their content relates to gender roles and identities. The book argues that the political domination of a secular state as an agency over religion has not suppressed, but transformed, religion into a political tool for the same agency to organise the polity and the society along its own ideological tenets.

Political & Institutional Transition in North Africa
Routledge Handbook of Middle East Minorities
Egypt & Tunisia in Comparative Perspective
Edited by Paul S Rowe
Silvia Colombo Series: Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Democratization and Government This book examines the transition processes unleashed by the uprisings that took place in Egypt and Tunisia in 2011. It contributes to exploring institutional changes and continuities in the two countries taken individually and comparatively, as a way of advancing our knowledge both on a specific region, the Arab world, and on a set of processes that represent a key theme in comparative political analysis, namely (democratic) transitions.
This Handbook gathers a diverse team of international scholars, each of whom provides their unique expertise into the status and prospects of minority populations in the region. Since the Arab Spring, the status of these populations has assumed centre stage. The overturn of various long-term autocratic governments in states such as Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen, and the ongoing threat to government stability in Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon have all contributed to a new assertion of majoritarian politics amid demands for democratization and regime change. In the midst of the dramatic changes and latent armed conflict, minority populations have been targeted, marginalized, and victimized.

Routledge Handbook on the Kurds
Syrian Refugee Children in the Middle East and Europe
Edited by Michael M. Gunter The Kurds are of increasing importance in regional and international geopolitics. This multidisciplinary Handbook of some 30-40 chapters provides a definitive overview of as much of Kurdish studies as possible including emerging and cutting edge areas. The handbook opens with three bibliographic essays on Kurdish studies, including one specifically about Kurdish studies in the United States. There will then follow sections on early history, culture, geography, economy, the European Union, foreign policy, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, diaspora, human rights, refugees, religion, ISIS and women.
Integrating the Young and Exiled Edited by Michelle Pace and Somdeep Sen Series: Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Society Since the start of the conflict in Syria in 2011, Syrian refugee children have withstood violence, uncertainty, fear, trauma and loss. This book follows their journeys by bringing together scholars and practitioners to reflect on how to make their situation better and to get this knowledge to as many front liners - across European and neighbouring countries in the Middle East - as possible. The book is premised on the underlying conception of refugee children as not merelya vulnerable contingent of the displaced Syrian population, but one that possesses a certain agency for change and progress.

Sectarianism in the Contemporary Middle East Edited by Simon Mabon, Department of Politics, Religion and Philosophy and Lucia Ardovini In recent years, the term sectarianism has been widely used to explain contemporary affairs across the Middle East and North Africa. A range of assumptions are embedded within the term, yet a number are infelicitous. In this book, we draw upon a range of cases to critically interrogate the term sectarianism in order to better understand the contemporary politics of the Middle East. This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Discourse.

The Peace Process between Turkey and the Kurds
The Three Principles of Mulla Sadra
Anatomy of a Failure
Divine Gnosis, Self-Realisation and the Dangers of Pseudo-Knowledge in Islam
Burak Bilgehan Özpek Series: Routledge Focus on the Middle East In 2013, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government initiated a peace process in order to settle the Kurdish question through peaceful means. However, this sanguine atmosphere collapsed after the general elections of 2015. This book addresses why the peace building attempts that culminated between 2013 and 2015 failed. It deals with the historical background of the Kurdish Question and contemporary complexities of the Turkish politics to explain how they eventually jeopardized the peace process. As the first serious peace attempt in a conflict that lasted over three decades, examination of why it failed will inform any future attempts at peace.

The Religionization of Israeli Society
Transforming Civil-Security Relations in the Middle East
Yoav Peled, Tel-Aviv University, Israel and Horit Herman Peled Series: Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Politics The process of consolidation of the new civil religion is known in Israel as hadata (religionization). Hadata has manifested itself in various ways in many areas of social life and is clearly present in the growing prevalence of the national-religious Jewish worldview in Jewish Israeli culture. The Religionization of Israeli Society examines the precise nature, pace and significance of hadata and explains the reasons for its occurrence. In very broad outlines, the new civil religion’s origin can be traced to a movement from socialist to religious Zionism, with a value system derived from traditional Judaism, adjusted to the requirements of modern society and democratic polity.

The Syrian Uprising
Transition in Afghanistan
Domestic Origins and Early Trajectory
Hope, Despair and the Limits of Statebuilding
Edited by Raymond Hinnebusch and Omar Imady Series: Routledge/ St. Andrews Syrian Studies Series
William Maley Series: Durham Modern Middle East and Islamic World Series
What began as the Syrian Uprising in March 2011 has evolved into one of the world’s most damaging conflicts. This book addresses key questions regarding the origins of the uprising and its early trajectory: what were the causes of the conflict, both in terms of structure (crisis and contradictions within the pre-uprising order) and agency (choices of the actors); why did the uprising not lead to democratization and instead descend into violent civil war with a sectarian dimension? The book focuses on internal dynamics and presents a snapshot of how the uprising developed in the first few years.
This book, by one of the subject's leading authorities, presents a deep analysis of the very difficult current situation in Afghanistan. Covering a wide range of important subjects, the book draws out two overarching key factors: the way in which the prevailing neopatrimonial political order, established in an earlier "state-free" period, has become entrenched, making it very difficult for any other political order to take root; and the hostile region in which Afghanistan is located, especially the way in which a "creeping invasion" from Pakistani territory has compromised the aspirations of the Afghan government and its international backers to move the country to a more stable

Awhad al-Din Kirmani and the Controversy of the Sufi Gaze
The New Testament in Muslim Eyes Paul's Letter to the Galatians
Lloyd Ridgeon, Glasgow University Series: Routledge Sufi Series
Shabbir Akhtar Series: Routledge Reading the Bible in Islamic Context Series
This book is the first monographthin any Western language about the life and controversy of a 13 century Persian Sufi called Awhad al-Din Kirmani. The aim of the book is to place Kirmani th within the context of 13 century Persianate Sufism, and demonstrate that the controversy shows that Sufism in this period was not a fixed or essentialised reality. It includes three analytical chapters that investigate the context, and the "rise and fall" of Kirmani, and this is followed by an annotated translation of a hagiography about Kirmani that was composed within a generation after his death.
This book provides commentary and analysis, from a Muslim perspective, on the writing of St. Paul. In particular it provides a close textual reading of Galatians, and discusses wider Christian theology and the New Testament whilst simultaneously opening a dialogue with the Qur’an, and Islamic thinking and practice.

Reading the Bible in Islamic Context
What is Shi'i Islam?
Qur'anic Conversations
An Introduction
Edited by Daniel J Crowther, The Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies, Shirin Shafaie, SOAS, Ida Glaser, The Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies, Oxford UK and Shabbir Akhtar, The Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies, Oxford UK Series: Routledge Reading the Bible in Islamic Context Series This book explores how an awareness of Islam and the Qur’an can change how the Bible is read. With both Muslim and Christian contributors, the first part contains chapters that compare the report of an event in the Bible with a report of the same event in the Qur’an. The second part addresses Muslim readings of the Bible and biblical tradition and looks at how Muslims might regard the Bible - Can they recognise it as Scripture? If so, what does that mean and how does it relate to the Qur’an as Scripture? Similarly how might Christians regard the Qur’an? The final part explores different analogies for understanding the Bible in relation to the Qur’an.
Mohammad-Ali Amir-Moezzi and Christian Jambet Series: Routledge Persian and Shi'i Studies This book provides a broad based introduction to Shi’i Islam. It examines what the Shi’i believe, how they see themselves and how they view the world. It includes a thorough examination of doctrine, philosophy, the Shi’i approach to the Qur’an and its historical evolution as a branch of Islam. Too often, and too quickly, the conclusion is drawn that Shi’ism is a marginal heretical sect, fundamentally alien to the deeper truth of the great religion of Islam, thrust by historical accident onto the political stage. This book intends to explain why such common misunderstandings of Shi’ism have taken root.

Jonathan Spyer Days of the Fall takes the reader into the heart of the terrible wars in Syria and Iraq.

Sufi Political Thought Milad Milani, University of Western Sydney, Australia Series: Routledge Religion in Contemporary Asia Series Sufism is generally perceived as being spiritually focused and about the development of the self. However, Sufi orders have been involved historically as important civic and political actors in the Muslim world. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the Sufi political tradition, both historically and in its present form. It outlines how Sufi thought has developed, how Sufism has been presented and considers Sufis’ active political roles. It argues that whilst Sufis have been well placed to engage with other faiths and absorb their ideas, they have also been well placed to understand Islam's distinctiveness, and thereby act as the guardians of Islam’s core ideas and values.

The Israeli Path to Neoliberalism The State, Continuity and Change Arie Krampf Series: Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Economies By presenting a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the evolution of the Israeli economy from the 1930s to the 1990s, this book seeks to explain the Israeli path to Neoliberalism. It debunks the ‘from-socialism-to-liberalization’ narrative, arguing that the evolution of Israeli capitalism cannot be described or explained as a simple transplantation of imported economic models from advanced liberal democracies. Rather, it asserts that the Israeli variant of capitalism is the product of the encounter between imported Western institutional models and policy ideas on the one hand, and domestic economic, social and security policy problems on the other.

The Text Linguistics of Qur'anic Discourse An Analysis Hussein Abdul-Raof, Formerly Leeds University Series: Culture and Civilization in the Middle East Text Linguistics of Qur'anic Discourse: A Text Analysis offers one of the first comprehensive investigations in the new academic discipline of Qu’ranic text linguistics, applying Western linguistics theory to Qur'anic discourse. The value of European theoretical linguistics to the analysis of the Qur’anic text at a macro level has been overlooked in the academic literature to date. This book addresses this research gap, providing a key resource for students and scholars of linguistics and specifically working in Arabic or Qur’anic Studies.
