Middle East2012/2013Message from the Editor:

Middle East and Islamic Studies are where it all began when our Company was founded in 1983. For over a generation we have been publishing the most topical debates and vital new research on these rapidly changing areas. Our list brings together general and academic books on the history, politics and cultures of this fascinating and varied region, combining the latest critical thought with accessible introductions for a wider audience. As a result, we are considered the foremost publisher on these subjects. We cover the area loosely termed ‘the Middle East’, but also explore the wider Islamic World from the villages of Indonesia to the banlieue of Paris. Our numerous publications on Sunni, Shi’i, Ismaili and Sufi traditions reflect our deep commitment to an exploration of the Muslim experience. We welcome any opportunity to consider books on this ever more complex area of study.

The term conflict has often been used broadly and uncritically to talk about diverse situations ranging from street protests to war, though the many factors that give rise to any conflict and its continuation over a period of time vary greatly. The starting point of this innovative book is that to consider conflict within a singular concept disables a coherent analysis of the constituent factors behind any particular conflict. At the same time, to consider each conflict as entirely distinct and unique undermines an attempt to examine common factors in all conflicts. The contributors set out to explore the ways in which the long-term conflicts in Palestine and Lebanon have been and are narrated, imagined and remembered in diverse spaces, including that of the media. They examine discourses and representations of the conflicts as well as practices of memory and performance in the diverse narratives of suffering and conflict. 256 PAgES 216 x 134mm FEBRuARy 20139781780761022 hARDBACk £52.509781780761039 PAPERBACk £16.99LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 121

Why did political Islam so readily occupy the position of enemy ‘other’ for the United States in the context of what the American political leadership of the time labelled the ‘War on Terror’? In a wide-ranging analysis of the historical and ideological roots of U.S. discourse on political Islam, Corinna Mullin examines the ways in which this new ‘other’ came to perform both an identity-constructing role for Americans and a politically expedient, rhetorical justification for mainstream U.S. political thought and action concerning the Muslim world. After a new U.S. administration under President Barack Obama was inaugurated in 2009, Mullin explores the prospects for a truly ‘post-war on terror’ politics. 240 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANuARy 20139781848852686 hARDBACk £51.50INTERNATIONAL LIBRARy OF POLITICAL STuDIES, VOL. 47

As the events and aftermath of 9/11 have shown, the relationship between Islam and the West is deeply troubled. Here Mohammad Salama calls for a new understanding of Islam as a historical condition that has existed in relationship to the West since the seventh century. He compares the Arab-Islamic and European traditions of historical thought since the early modern period, focusing on the watershed moments that informed their ideas of intellectual history and perceptions of one another. Islam, he argues, has played a major role in enabling and positioning Western historiography at key points, leaving palpable imprints on Islamic historiography in the process. The books focuses on Ibn Khaldun, the complexities of orientalism and modernity, and recent European as well as Arab writings on these themes.304 PAgES 216 x 134mm NOVEmBER 20129781848850057 hARDBACk £56.509781780764504 PAPERBACk £16.997 B&W INTEgRATED, 2 mAPS

The famed reform debates at al-Azhar Madrasa in nineteenth-century Cairo – one of the most influential centres of religious study in Sunni Islam – were enormously influential for twentieth-century Islamic thought. In this book Indira Gesink argues that narratives of these debates overemphasize the roles of famous modernists like Muhammad ‘Abduh, obscuring important themes. By restoring conservative voices to the debate, she shows that conservative ‘ulama engaged many of the same issues as reformers and led committees that generated and implemented reforms; ultimately, conservative leaders at al-Azhar provided crucial legitimacy for the reforms to become rooted in public life. Drawing on obscure, but important, archival sources to illustrate the important contributions of conservative scholars to the evaluation of twentieth-century Sunni Islam, Islamic Reform and Conservatism is indispensable for all those interested in the modern Middle East, religious history, secularism, modernism and religious reform.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm NOVEmBER 20129781845119362 hARDBACk £65.009781780764276 PAPERBACk £25.00

The twenty-first century has seen an unprecedented radicalisation of Muslims across the world. In some cases, this has led to terror and violence. Yet as the west pours huge military resources into the ‘war on terror’, we still know very little about the ideology which drives the terrorists. Now, for the first time, Kamran Bokhari has made it possible to hear and to digest today’s militant Islam in its own words. Bokhari’s carefully contextualised selection introduces us to radical Islamist thinking on a range of issues such as their perception of Western concepts of democracy, their scepticism towards the Middle East peace process and how to deal with the west. For anyone who wants to understand the phenomenon of contemporary militant Islam, or who wants to know what motivates terrorist thinking, this book is essential reading.256 PAgES 216 x 134mm juNE 20139781845111304 hARDBACk £42.509781845111311 PAPERBACk £12.99LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 53

Soft Power Rivalry in the middle EastSimon Mabon, Lancaster University

In the wake of the 1979 Iranian revolution, international relations between states in the Middle East were reconfigured and reassessed overnight. Amongst the most affected was the relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The existence of a new regime in Tehran led to increasingly vitriolic confrontations between these two states, often manifesting themselves in the conflicts across the region, such as those in Lebanon and Iraq, and more recently in Bahrain and Syria. Here, Simon Mabon examines the different identity groups (various religious, ethnic and tribal groupings) within Saudi Arabia and Iran, proposing that it is internal insecurity that to a great extent drives the wider ideological and geopolitical rivalry and competition between the two. contents:Introduction; Chapter 1: The Middle East in International Relations; Chapter 2: Arabian Gulf vs. Persian Gulf; Chapter 3: History, Politics and Narratives of State-Building; Chapter 4: Religious Incongruence; Chapter 5: Ethno-Tribal Incongruence; Chapter 6: The Response of the State; Chapter 7: Internal-External Security Dilemmas; Conclusion.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780763118 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 132

The ties between Syria and Iraq are complex and often fraught and, with both facing significant internal turmoil, their relationship is one that is central to stability in the region. James Denselow is uniquely positioned to address this pivotal aspect of politics in the Middle East, having worked in Syria for many years. He argues that today’s relationship between Iraq and Syria cannot be understood outside the context of the US presence in a fragile Iraq. This book tracks the changing and tempestuous relationship between these uneasy neighbours, focusing on the run-up to and fallout from the 2003 invasion. The role of Bashar al-Asad’s regime in this conflict is often overlooked, but its political ties plus Syria’s geographical position made it a key player. As sovereignty is returned to an Iraq led by Nouri al-Maliki, a shared cultural history along with improved trade and security arrangements may strengthen the precarious relationship between Iraq and Syria.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781848857070 hARDBACk £56.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 110

At a time when Iran is represented in the French media as a rogue state obsessed with its nuclear programme, and when France is portrayed in the Iranian media as a decadent and imperialist country, this book highlights the role of cultural representations and perceptions. Here, Laetitia Nanquette examines the functions, processes and mechanisms of stereotyping and imagining the ‘other’ that have pervaded the literary traditions of France and Iran when writing about each other. She furthermore analyses Franco-Iranian relations, exploring the literary traditions of this relationship, the ways in which these have affected individual authors and reflect socio-political realities. With themes that feed into popular debates about the nature of Orientalism and Occidentalism, and how the two interact, this book will be vital for researchers of Middle Eastern literature and its relationship with writings from the West, as well as those working on the cultures of the Middle East.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm OCTOBER 20129781848859784 hARDBACk £56.00INTERNATIONAL LIBRARy OF CuLTuRAL STuDIES, VOL. 24

What is the nature of intellectual activity in the Middle East, and what is its role in politics and society? While much scholarly attention has been given to the intelligentsia in the West, a comprehensive analysis of the social role of intellectuals in the Middle East has until now been lacking. This new book seeks to fill this gap, providing an overview of the role of influential thinkers in public life in the Middle East, and the impact they have had upon social, political and cultural spheres in the region. Covering a diverse range of key thinkers on the Middle East from Edward Said, Mohamed Arkoun and Halim Barakat to Abd al-Rahman al-Kawakibi and Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulusi, the book examines intellectuals’ connections to social movements, ‘street politics’ and civil society, and democracy and its prospects in the region. This is an important new contribution to the literature on Middle Eastern societies and politics.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm juLy 20129781848856288 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 120

How have long-standing and unconscious secular assumptions about religion shaped the post-9/11 climate and its wars? Stacey Gutkowski explores this little-examined, yet crucial, element of British perceptions of and policy towards Jihadism over the last decade, to draw critical conclusions about the relationship between war and the secular. She points to a surprisingly coherent body of secular beliefs that have fuelled policies in Iraq, Afghanistan and counter-terrorism, and that have had mixed results – responsible for both positive strategies and tragic errors. The theory Gutkowski develops on the impact of this secular approach to warfare holds a broader global significance, and cannot be viewed as just a British phenomenon. This book addresses ongoing and critical debates, such as the ‘overreach’ of Western liberal interventionism in the Middle East.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm juNE 20139781780765358 hARDBACk £59.00INTERNATIONAL LIBRARy OF SECuRITy STuDIES

The West Asian states of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Iran have over the last few decades represented an arc of crisis. Characterized by fractured and dysfunctional political elites, fraught economic policies, and ideological struggles between the forces of authoritarianism and democratization, neo-fundamentalism and pluralism, they embody a mosaic of ethnicities. Amin Saikal, a distinguished Afghan-born scholar of international affairs, provides a sweeping new understanding of the complex contemporary political and social instability encompassing the region. Critically comparing democratization and counter-insurgency efforts in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, and examining both recent Western intervention and the history of foreign influence in the region, Saikal looks at how US entanglement has affected Pakistani and Iranian domestic politics and foreign affairs. How has this influenced the success or failure of the occupation in Afghanistan and Iraq? What solutions can be taken to ensure regional security? 224 PAgES 228 x 155mm juNE 20139781780763194 hARDBACk £25.00

Since the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the close alliance between Syria and Iran has endured for over three decades, based on geopolitical interests between the two states and often framed in the language of resistance. In view of their strong relationship at a state-level, what have Syria and Iran each been doing to foster popular exchange and employ cultural tools to build an image in the other country?

’This volume is incredibly useful and will present valuable arguments to students and scholars of Arab cultural studies– The Majalla, review of Arab Cultural Studies, see page 5‘

Islam in Europe and ‘Islamophobia’ are subjects of vital global importance which currently preoccupy policy-makers and academics alike. Examining various European Muslim groups and institutions that have branched off from Islamic movements – including the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizb ut-Tahrir and Jama’at-i Islami – this book outlines the configuration of social, political and religious processes that have given rise to new kinds of European Muslim organisations. It considers the relationship of these organisations to their ‘parent’ movements, their connections with transnational Islamic networks, their impact on European states, the presence of Islam in European education and higher education institutions and the connection between Islamic movements and the perceived surge of ‘Islamophobia’ in Europe. Featuring the work of more than 40 scholars, this is a comprehensive guide to Islam in Europe.416 PAgES 234 x 156mm APRIL 20139781848858442 hARDBACk £59.509781848858459 PAPERBACk £17.99

Islam is a hidden ingredient in the melting pot of America. Though there are between 2 and 8 million Muslims in the USA, Islam has traditionally had little political clout compared to other minority faiths. Nonetheless it is believed to be the country’s fastest-growing religion, with a vibrant culture of theological debate, particularly regarding the role of women preachers. In Islam in America, Jonathan Curiel traces the story of America’s Muslims from the seventeenth-century slave trade to the eighteenth-century immigration wave to the Nation of Islam. Drawing on interviews in communities from industrial Michigan to rural California, Curiel portrays the diversity of practices, cultures and observances that make up Muslim America. He profiles the leading personalities and institutions representing the community, and explores their relationship to the wider politics of America, particularly after 9/11. Islam in America offers an indispensable guide to the social life of modern Islam and the diversity of contemporary America.224 PAgES 198 x 126mm juNE 20139781848855984 hARDBACk £49.509781848855991 PAPERBACk £12.99

Are today’s radicals tomorrow’s extremists? Are adherents of Islamism necessarily extremist or violent? Most analyses of violence emanating from the Middle East or from Europe’s Muslim communities tend to assume that this is the case. Not so in this book. Instead, with a wide-ranging and case-by-case approach, it seeks to look beyond these assumptions, examining the specific contexts of radicalism and asking what creates the conditions for radicalisation. Shedding much-needed light upon a phenomenon that has helped to define today’s world, this book will be essential for general readers, students and researchers who take an interest in the fields of Politics, International Relations and the phenomena of multiculturalism and terrorism.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm OCTOBER 20129781848854802 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, VOL. 51

Lina Khatib presents a cross-country examination of emerging trends in the use of visuals in political struggles in the Middle East, from the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon to the Green Movement in Iran, to the Arab Spring in Egypt, Syria, and Libya. She demonstrates how states, activists, artists and people ‘on the street’ are making use of television, the social media and mobile phones, as well as non-electronic forms, including posters, cartoons, billboards and graffiti to convey and mediate political messages. She also draws attention to politics as a visual performance by leaders and citizens alike. She shows how visual expression is at the heart of political struggle in the Middle East today, and this image politics has a global dimension infused with local culture and multiple, clashing meanings.264 PAgES 234 x 156mm OCTOBER 20129781848852815 hARDBACk £56.009781848852822 PAPERBACk £15.9951 INTEgRATED BW

The debate over Islam and modernity tends to be approached from a Eurocentric perspective that presents Western norms as a template for progress – against which Islamic societies can be measured. This misses the historical development of Muslim reformist thought that actively engages with the world around it and seeks to reconfigure Islam within the diverse conditions of modernity. Safdar Ahmed paints a complex and nuanced picture that goes beyond the idea that Muslim reformers have either reproduced or reacted against Western ideas. Rather, Ahmed argues, they have reconstructed and appropriated these ideas, and so the thread of Western influence runs through modern Islamic thought on nationalism and sovereignty, femininity and gender. Ahmed uncovers new historiographical perspectives by critically examining the work of prominent intellectuals, such as Muhammad Abduh, Qasim Amin and Abul A‘la Maududi.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANuARy 20139781848857353 hARDBACk £56.50

In the post-9/11 era, the EU has attempted to shape itself into, and certainly has aspirations of being, a key foreign and security policy actor in international politics. Here, Taylan Özgür Kaya looks at how this is played out, with particular reference to the EU’s role in the Middle East Peace Process. Expanding its political, diplomatic, economic and security role in the region, the EU, whilst still being the junior partner to the US, has increasingly played a more conspicuous role in the attempts to resolve (or at least mediate) conflict in the Middle East. Bearing this in mind, Kaya looks whether the aims and the performance of the EU in the Middle East are congruous or incongruous, and to what extent the EU manages to live up to its self-image as a key player in conflict resolution and crisis management in the region and beyond.304 PAgES 216 x 134mm OCTOBER 20129781848859821 hARDBACk £59.503 INTEgRATED B&W ILLuSTRATIONS

The world today faces numerous challenges, including the ongoing fallout from the financial crisis and varied and diverse examples of violence and conflict across the globe. Combined with the many changes affecting both the regional and global balance of power – such as the apparent decline of the United States, the growing influence of the East, and the evolving role of international organizations – these challenges have led some to question how global power will be distributed in the coming two decades. Global Strategic Developments offers an examination of these developments, providing an exploration of the future of the global system and its international powers and organizations. With analysis of military, security, financial and economic challenges that face the Gulf, the wider Middle East and beyond, this book is of vital importance to those interested in the future of both geopolitical networks and the global monetary system. 360 PAgES 234 x 156mm AuguST 20129789948144717 hARDBACk £65.009789948144700 PAPERBACk £22.5019 FIguRES, 9 TABLESEmIRATES CENTER FOR STRATEgIC STuDIES AND RESEARCh

The Assyrians are the last substantial ethnic group in the world to have preserved Aramaic – the language spoken by Jesus and his disciples – as its native language. To listen to Aramaic is to catch the echoes of biblical Palestine. A minority people with distinctive cultural and religious, as well as linguistic, traditions, the Assyrians have in the modern era come under threat from the twin perils of persecution and assimilation. Though nowadays located mostly in Iraq and Syria, this remarkable indigenous race – the easternmost Christians of the Middle East – were at one time numerically strong also in Iran, before falling victim in the early 20th century to Ottoman assault. The rise of Islamic exclusivity – in Iran following the Revolution of 1979, and in recent decades elsewhere in the Middle East – has further diminished the Assyrian communities, driving them from their ancient homelands. This is the first time that the story of the resilient Assyrians has been told in its entirety.200 PAgES 234 x 156mm APRIL 20139781848857568 hARDBACk £59.50

In the years 1432–3, Bertrandon de la Brocquière, fifteenth-century gentleman and confidante to the Duke of Burgundy, undertook a pilgrimage to the Middle East and beyond. Though posing as a pilgrim, de la Brocquière was in fact a spy. He travelled to Ghent, Venice, Palestine and Damascus, eventually reaching as far as Constantinople at the important time leading up to the destruction of the city and the final fall of the Byzantine Empire. His account remains an excellent source on politics, leading figures and customs of the Mamluk and Ottoman lands, the early use of gunpowder by the Mamluks, and provides a careful analysis of Turkish military tactics. This early edition is now rare and is here introduced by one of the leading authorities on the Middle East, Robert Irwin.384 PAgES 234 x 156mm jANuARy 20139781780764320 hARDBACk £55.00

The alMohaDS

The Rise of an Islamic Empireallen J. fromherzgeorgia State university

How did an obscure Islamic visionary found an empire? The Almohad Empire at its zenith in the twelfth century was the major power in the Mediterranean and North Africa, ruling a huge region from the Atlas Mountains to Andalusia. Allen Fromherz, drawing on medieval Arabic and Berber sources, analyses the myth and history surrounding the rise of the Almohad Empire. He shows how Muhammad Ibn Tumart, the son of a minor Berber tribal chief, set off on his mission to reform Islam, then at a low point in its history, battered by the crusades, having lost Jerusalem and been undermined by weak spiritual and political leadership. Muhammad Ibn Tumart was proclaimed Mahdi – one who would herald the golden age of Islam – and provided charismatic leadership, unwavering adherence to a fundamentalist monotheistic Islam enforced by holy war, and established tribal unity, effective administration and a formidable military force. 288 PAgES 234 x 156mm OCTOBER 20129781845116514 hARDBACk £59.509781780764054 PAPERBACk £17.99

Redefining the kharijites and their Challenge to the umayyadsannie c. higgins, Wayne State University

For the last fourteen centuries, the Kharijites, ‘those who depart’, have been alternately marginalised or demonised as religious heretics, political dissidents, violent extremists and even al-Qaeda prototypes. They have borne this reputation since this band of troops seceded from the leadership of Ali (Mohammed’s nephew and leader of the faction among the Prophet’s followers who would become known as the Shi’a) when he disarmed at the Battle of Siffin in 657 CE to accept arbitration with the Ummayad leader, Mu’awiya. But the Kharijites call themselves Shurat, ‘exchangers’, deriving their name from a Qur’anic verse about self-sacrifice. Here, Annie C. Higgins explores the ways in which the leaders, soldiers, warrior women and unarmed men of the Shurat present themselves through their poetry. contents:Chapter 1: Exchange as Selling and Sacrifice; Chapter 2: Exchange as Moral Profit without Loss; Chapter 3: Tell the Women at the Battlefields; Chapter 4: Exchange as Identity; Chapter 5: Exchange as Performance; Chapter 6: Exchange and Elegy; Chapter 7: Epilogue.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781848856752 hARDBACk £59.501 B&W INTEgRATED, 3 FIgSLIBRARy OF mIDDLE EAST hISTORy, VOL. 30

The Umayyad caliphate, ruling over much of what is now the modern Middle East after the death of the Prophet Muhammad, governed from Damascus from 661 to 750CE, when they were expelled by the Abbasids. Here, Mohammad Rihan sheds light on the tribal system of this empire, by looking at one of its Syrian tribes: the ‘Amila, based around today’s Jabal ‘Amil in southern Lebanon. Using this tribe as a lens through which to examine the wider Umayyad world, he looks at the political structures and conflicts that prevailed at the time, seeking to nuance the understanding of the relationship between the tribes and the ruling elites. By exploring the culture, literature, kinship structures and socio-political conditions of the tribe, this book highlights the ways in which alliances and divisions shifted and were used by caliphs of the period, and offers new insights into the Middle East at a pivotal point in its early and medieval history.256 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780765648 hARDBACk £56.00LIBRARy OF mIDDLE EAST hISTORy

The Aga khan and the IsmailisMalise ruthven with gerard Wilkinson

From highland peasant farmers in Central Asia to Canadian industrialists, South Asian buisinessmen and Europe-based scholars, the Nizari Ismailis are one of the Muslim world’s most diverse Shi’a communities. The spiritual leadership of this highly dynamic community has in recent generations come to be known as the ‘Aga Khan’. This book, which coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of the present Aga Khan’s succession as Imam, or spiritual leader, of the Ismailis, assesses the achievements of his ‘Imamat’ in modernising the communities’ institutions and creating one of the world’s leading development agencies, the Aga Khan Development Network. In the process the book explores how the present Harvard-educated Aga Khan has attempted to preserve and build on a religious tradition rooted in medieval theology while at the same time embracing the modern world without loss of faith or cultural identity.408 PAgES 234 x 156mm juNE 20139781845117221 hARDBACk £24.5032PP COLOuR PLATES

During the nineteenth century, cultural heritage became a dominant feature of the political ideology of the European states and of their colonies. The set of concepts and practices defining cultural heritage were exported to, and imposed over, the colonized populations in North Africa and the Near East. Here, expert scholars come together to unravel the complex processes involved in the definition, production and consumption of heritage and its material culture in the Middle East, and the dynamics of the key actors involved: NGOs, institutions, donor agencies, specialists, investors, individuals, families and the public. contents:Introduction; I.

On 14 July 1958, with the fall of the Hashemite monarchy in Iraq, a chapter of Iraq’s history ended. In the wake of this revolution, the ancien régime of Iraq found itself both persecuted and imprisoned. Fadhel Jamali, a former foreign minister and prime minister of Iraq, was no exception. In this remarkable first-hand account of his time in power, he reveals the diplomatic wrangling at the heart of the Iraqi monarchist regime, and offers incisive analysis of Iraq’s role at both regional and international levels. Providing an examination of a period during which the idea of a pan-Arab struggle, with President Gamal Abdul Nasser of Egypt as its figurehead, was at the top of political agendas, he offers a unique point of view of Iraq’s relations with the rest of the Arab world and the wider Middle East, as well as its policies towards the nascent Israeli state and the newly created Palestine ‘problem’. 320 PAgES 234 x 156mm AuguST 20129781850437628 hARDBACk £35.00

Politics and Diplomacy in the mediterranean and the middle Eastantonio varsor, University of Padua, elena calandri, University of Padua and Daniele caviglia

As Cold War documents become declassified and the archives become accessible to western historians, this volume reassesses the secret war waged over three decades for control of the Mediterranean Sea. An ‘American lake’ in the 1950s, a battlefield for influence in the Cold War of the 1960s, and an increasingly important political arena for the oil-rich Gulf States in the 1970s, the Mediterranean offers a focal point around which the major themes and narratives of Cold War history were constructed. Détente in Cold War Europe draws together detailed analyses of the major moments of post-WWII history – including the signing of the Helsinki Accords in 1975, the Jordan crisis of 1970, the Soviet Union’s influence in the Yom Kippur War, the Cyprus emergency of 1974, US-Soviet détente and US-Israeli relations under President Nixon. 352 PAgES 216 x 134mm SEPTEmER 20129781780761084 hARDBACk £59.50INTERNATIONAL LIBRARy OF TWENTIETh CENTuRy hISTORy

Unprecedented levels of investment will be required in the coming decades to meet growing energy demand, replace retiring capacity, and address both energy security and climate change.

While oil remains a comparatively inexpensive form of energy and enjoys global demand, its future as a major and essential source of world energy remains uncertain in light of the decline of strategic reserves and the adverse effects of fossil fuels on the climate and environmental security. Here, academics and industry practitioners examine the challenges that lie ahead for the oil age. Looking at the current challenges of the oil industry in the Gulf. In doing so, they identify the dynamics of global oil demand and their implications for producers; the future of oil geopolitics and associated challenges; recent lessons learned in the industry; future prospects for supply; and the implications of climate change for oil policies in the GCC states.480 PAgES 234 x 156mm AuguST 20129789948144304 hARDBACk £65.009789948144298 PAPERBACk £22.5068 FIguRES AND 37 TABLESThE EmIRATES CENTER FOR STRATEgIC STuDIES AND RESEARCh

The future of water is the future of humankind. How we manage this most precious resource will have an impact on all of us – from environmental issues and the balance between rich and poor, to its role in global power relations. It will define war and peace and the destinies of countries and continents. In an effort to better understand the many aspects of water – cultural, technological and political – the author travelled to twenty-five countries around the world, exploring key water issues and developments with politicians, engineers and ordinary people. A Journey in the Future of Water presents the fruit of those travels. Professor Tvedt brings his unrivalled experience to bear in an engaging, amusing and informative narrative that reveals the challenges we face in relation to our most precious resource. 176 PAgES 216 x 134mm OCTOBER 20129781848857445 hARDBACk £56.009781848857452 PAPERBACk £14.99

Some historical artefacts are destined forever to alter how the ancient world is perceived. The unearthing in Iraq (in 1879) of a clay cylinder-shaped decree from Cyrus the Great, founder of the Achaemenid dynasty of Persia, stands in the same tradition of game-changing discoveries from antiquity as Hammurabi’s famous law code or the intact tomb of the boy-king Tutankhamun. For the Cyrus Cylinder contains in microcosm the whole history of its period. Inscribed with an account of the conquest of Babylon in 539 BCE by the Persian King, it records an event which launched one of the greatest imperial adventures in history. It describes Cyrus’ capture and deposition of Nabonidus, last native Babylonian ruler (represented by the Cylinder text as an oppressor of his own people) and proclaims the Persian as a liberator. The Cylinder has also been called the world’s first declaration of human rights, setting out the decree by which Cyrus freed the Jews from captivity in Babylon. 160 PAgES 246 x 189mm mARCh 20139781780760636 hARDBACk £35.00

The monetary history of a country provides important insights into its economic development, as well as its political and social history. This book is the first detailed study of Iran’s monetary history from the advent of the Safavid dynasty in 1501 to the end of Qajar rule in 1925. Using an array of previously unpublished sources in ten languages, the authors consider the specific monetary conditions in Iran’s modern history, covering the use of ready money and its circulation, the changing conditions of the country’s mints and the role of the state in managing money. Throughout the book, the authors also consider the larger regional and global economic context within which the Iranian economy operated. As the first study of Iran’s monetary history, this book will be essential reading for researchers of Iranian and economic history.320 PAgES 234 x 156mm mARCh 20139781780760797 hARDBACk £45.00I.B.TAuRIS IN ASSOCIATION WITh ThE IRAN hERITAgE FOuNDATION

Sacred history and the historiography of Ancient IranTouraj Daryaee, University of California, Irvine

The Sasanian Empire was one of the most significant empires of late antiquity. As the dominant force in the Middle East, spanning Egypt, India and Mesopotamia, the Sasanian kings from Ardashir I (224 CE) ruled an imperial, centrally administered, multi-lingual state. Here, Touraj Daryaee shows how the idea of Iran – its attributes, mores, values, boundaries and traditions – was brought to the Zoroastrian, Jewish and Christian populations of the Sasanian Empire and accepted and internalised by these religious communities. By tracing the political accommodations reached in the Sasanian court back to the Zoroastrian texts of the Avesta, Daryaee demonstrates why scholars, scribes and the state continued to emulate and propagate the memory of the Peshdadian, Kayanian and Sasanian empires – even into the Islamic period. 224 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780762487 hARDBACk £52.50INTERNATIONAL LIBRARy OF IRANIAN STuDIES, VOL. 44

The Rise and Fall of an EmpireTouraj Daryaee,University of California, Irvine

Of profound importance in late antiquity, the Sasanian Empire is almost completely unknown today, except as a counterpoint to the Roman Empire. What are the reasons for this ignorance and why does the Sasanian Empire matter? In this brilliant and highly readable history, Touraj Daryaee fills a huge gap in our knowledge of world history. He examines the Sasanians’ complex and colourful narrative and demonstrates their unique significance, not only for the development of Iranian civilisation but also for Roman and Islamic history. Drawing on extensive new sources he paints a vivid portrait of Sasanian life and unravels the divergent strands that contributed to the making of this great Empire. Sasanian Persia is a unique examination of a period of history that still has great significance for a full understanding of modern Iran.256 PAgES 234 x 156mm OCTOBER 20129781780763781 PAPERBACk £15.99I.B.TAuRIS IN ASSOCIATION WITh ThE IRAN hERITAgE FOuNDATION

The Achaemenid Empire was at its height the largest empire the world had yet seen. Because this first Persian Empire fought a series of wars against the Ancient Greek city-states, it has often been cast in opposition to the Hellenistic cultures of the period. Ancient Persia in Western History is a measured rejoinder to the dominant narrative that considers the Graeco-Persian Wars to be merely the first round of an oft-repeated battle between the despotic ‘East’ and the broadly enlightened ‘West’. Sasan Samiei analyses the historiography which has skewed our understanding of this crucial era – contrasting the work of Edward Gibbon and Goethe, which venerated Classicism and Hellenistic history, with later writers such as John Linton Myres. Finally, Samiei explores the cross-cultural encounters which constituted the Achaemenid period itself.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780764801 hARDBACk £59.50INTERNATIONAL LIBRARy OF IRANIAN STuDIES

hellenism and the Representation of the Achaemenid EmpireSasan Samiei

From the Sasanian to the Safavid Empire, and from Qajar Iran to the current Islamic Republic, the history of Iran is one which has been coloured by a rich tradition of myths and narratives and shaped by its wealth of philosophers, cultural theorists and political thinkers. Perceptions of Iran dissects the construction of Iranian identity, to reveal how nationalism has been continually re-formulated and how self-perceptions have been carried by Iran’s literary past, in particular the mystical love poetry of Rumi, Sa’adi and Hafez. It traces a long history of encounters with the Western world and tracks Iranian thought from Herodotus’ representation of Cyrus to the Constitutional Movement of the early twentieth century. 288 PAgES 234 x 156mm juNE 20139781848858305 hARDBACk £56.50I.B.TAuRIS IN ASSOCIATION WITh ThE IRAN hERITAgE FOuNDATIONINTERNATIONAL LIBRARy OF IRANIAN STuDIES

rITual curSINg IN IraN

Theology, Politics and the Public in Safavid Persiarosemary Stanfield-Johnson, University of Minnesota Duluth

Ritualised cursing had long been a part of popular culture in medieval and early modern Iran. When the Safavids seized power in 1501 and imposed Shi’i Islam as the established faith of the country, they appropriated the practice in the service of the state, compelling their subjects to curse ritually the first three (Sunni) caliphs in street and square – or face decapitation. Rosemary Stanfield-Johnson here demonstrates that in a largely oral society both the royal court and the emerging Shi’i religious establishment understood that controlling the medium meant controlling the message, and therefore society itself. Moreover, the ritual of public cursing also served the interests of the people. Because the new government could rely on a reservoir of shared cultural expression, it found willing participants among its subjects, for whom the practice became more than an act of compliance. 304 PAgES 216 x 134mm AuguST 20139781848852921 hARDBACk £54.50INTERNATIONAL LIBRARy OF IRANIAN STuDIES, VOL. 22

Nuclear IraN

The Birth of an Atomic State David Patrikarakos

The Iranian nuclear crisis has dominated world politics for almost ten years, with the country now facing increasing diplomatic isolation, talk of strikes against its nuclear facilities and a disastrous Middle East war. Behind the rhetoric from all sides there is little real understanding of Iran’s nuclear strategy, and the history behind it. This ground-breaking book argues that Iran’s nuclear programme and the modern history of the country itself are irretrievably linked; and only by understanding one can we understand the other. From the programme’s beginnings under the Shah, the book details the central role of the US in the birth of nuclear Iran. The author’s unique access to ‘the father’ of Iran’s nuclear programme, as well as to key scientists under the early Islamic Republic and to senior Iranian and Western negotiators, sheds new light on the uranium enrichment efforts that lie at the heart of global concerns. His insight into the effect of the ‘stuxnet’ virus on Iran’s capabilities makes for particularly fascinating reading. 256 PAgES 234 x 156mm AuguST 20129781780761251 hARDBACk £25.00


khaTaMI’S IraN

The Islamic Republic and the Turbulent Path to Reformghoncheh Tazmini, LSE

When Mohammed Khatami stormed to his 1997 election victory in a landslide result, the world waited anxiously for the reforms and radical changes that he would bring to the Iranian Presidency. By the end of his term in 2005, general disillusion had spread among his supporters. But when in early 2009 Khatami again announced his candidacy for the Presidency, he was greeted with massive enthusiasm and support. The Ahmadinejad period of the previous four years had dramatically restored the fortunes of this mild-mannered, cerebral cleric who sought to bring Iran into the twenty-first century, end its international isolation, mend relations with the US and take its place as the leading regional power. But who is this enigmatic cleric, so little known in the West, whose grasp of Iran’s realities seems so much firmer than that of many of the secular figures around him? This book for the first time reveals the man who may yet change the face of politics in the Middle East.240 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANuARy 20139781848851825 PAPERBACk £14.99

The relationship between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Western World is fraught with challenges and tensions. In order to generate the capacity for greater engagement and dialogue, there is a need for the West to better understand the complex ideological developments that are central to Iran. Majid Mohammadi charts the central concepts and nuances of the ideological map of post-revolutionary Iran, and examines the rise and development of Shi’i Islamism. He recognises that the Islamic Republic of Iran and Iranian political discourse are the outcome of contesting perspectives and ideologies: identity-oriented, socialist, nationalist, authoritarian, Shari’a, scripturalist, mystical, militarist and fascist. This is a comprehensive, comparative contribution to one of today’s most important topics: that of the relationship between Political Islam and the West.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781848852761 hARDBACk £56.50INTERNATIONAL LIBRARy OF IRANIAN STuDIES, VOL. 24

Becoming Visible in Iran disputes the widespread stereotypes about Muslim women prevalent in the West, providing a vivid account of young women in contemporary Iran. Beginning at home, women are infusing dramatic change by challenging the patriarchal conceptions of their fathers, brothers, uncles and others within the intimate sphere of family and home. Empowered by education, they transport the power of their minds and being from the domestic to the public and political. Through detailed interviews and striking narratives, Mehri Honarbin-Holliday presents the experiences of these young women who wield a key if indirect political influence on the seemingly male dominated politics of this society, as they achieve a new visibility. 224 PAgES 216 x 134mm APRIL 20139781780760865 PAPERBACk £14.9915 B&W INTEgRATEDINTERNATIONAL LIBRARy OF IRANIAN STuDIES, VOL. 14

The Safavid Dynasty (1500-1722) was one of the longest lasting Persian dynasties. Its fall to invading Afghan tribesmen marked a crucial turning point in Iranian history. Father Krusinski was a Polish Jesuit who spent many years in Iran, eventually becoming Procurator General of the Jesuit Mission there. He acted as intermediary between the Papacy and the Safavid court and also acted as court translator. Crucially he resided in Isfahan in 1722 and was thus an eyewitness to the siege of the city by Afghan tribesmen in 1722 and the subsequent demise of the Safavids later that year. Remarkably he went on to gain favour with the Afghan court. His account provides a valuable source for late Safavid Iran. Now extremely rare, this edition contains an introduction by Rudi Matthee, one of the leading scholars of the period.328, 288, 288 PAgES 234 x 156mm juNE 20139781780764689 hARDBACk £250.003 VOLS


The hISTorY of The laTe revoluTIoNS IN PerSIa

An Eyewitness Account of the Fall of the Safavid DynastyJ.T. krusinskiIntroduction by rudi Matthee, University of Delaware

Iran is a country of competing layers of collective identity: a deep pre-Islamic layer overlaid with an Islamic, particularly Shi’ite, one. These two layers coexisted and were often mutually reinforcing on both official and popular levels but over the past hundred and fifty years they have been singled out by different intellectuals, and later, political establishments, as alternative bases for ideologies seeking to define the nation and its place, the homeland. Ali Mozaffari explores the ways in which these competing discourses have been used to establish ideas of an Iranian identity and homeland. Drawing on the examples of Persepolis, the pre-Islamic archaeological site of the Achaemenids, and the ritual of Moharram, celebrating the hero of Shi’ism, Imam Hossein, the author analyses official formations of collective identity and notions of homeland in Iran. 256 PAgES 234 x 156mm juNE 20139781780764436 hARDBACk £56.00

At the height of her imperial power Britain clashed with Russia at many points from Turkey to China. But it was only in Persia and Central Asia that these two expansionist empires met face to face. The fear of a Russian drive against India had initially impelled the British to oppose the extension of Russian influence. This classic work by distinguished historian Firuz Kazemzadeh provides an outstanding history of Anglo-Russian relations in Persia in the half century preceding World War. I It affords both a comprehensive overview of British and Russian policy in Iran and detailed coverage of the most important events. The new introduction includes reflections upon events after World War I. Long unavailable, this new edition will be welcomed by scholars and students alike and provides a fascinating backdrop to the motivations behind Iran’s diplomatic posture today.736 PAgES 234 x 156mm OCTOBER 20129781780763101 hARDBACk £85.00

Early twentieth century Iran had been dominated by the competing influences of the two great imperial powers of the time – Russia and Britain. But an emergent, highly industrialised and assertive Germany in the 1930s became an attractive ally through which Iran could cut loose from domination by Britain and the Soviet Union, allowing it to seek modernity outside the constraints of old imperial interests. It was the National Bank of Persia, established in 1927 under German management, and with Kurt Lindenblatt as its governor, that was to be the vehicle for Germany’s economic expansion into Persia. But this relationship came to an abrupt end with the Allied invasion of Iran in 1941. 288 PAgES 216 x 134mm OCTOBER 20129781848853249 hARDBACk £39.50

The Kurds are the largest stateless nation in the world. They live under the jurisdiction of four sovereign states – Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Syria – which deny their national identity and suppress its political and cultural manifestations. The diversity that springs from this division has deprived the Kurds of ideological cohesion and political unity. Offering a wealth of new information on the history and politics of Kurdish nationalism, this book also looks at the wider issues of stateless nations, their identities, rights and obligations and the problems such nations pose for normative political theory which presupposes the framework of the modern nation state.256 PAgES 216 x 134mm SEPTEmBER 20139781860640506 hARDBACk £39.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 26

The Islamic Republic of Iran has entered its fourth decade, and the values and legacy of the Revolution it was founded upon continue to have profound and contradictory consequences for Iranian life. Despite the repressive power of the current regime the immense creativity of popular cultural practices, which negotiate and resist the system, is a potent and dynamic force. This book draws on the expertise and experience of Iranian and international academics and activists to address diverse areas of social and cultural innovation that are driving change and progress. While religious conservatism remains the creed of the establishment, this volume uncovers an underground world of new technology, communication, media and entertainment that speaks both to women seeking a greater public role and to a restless younger generation that organises and engages with global trends online.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm mAy 20139781780760896 hARDBACk £56.50

Iranian ambitions in the Persian Gulf and rivalries with Arab neighbours are subject to intense – and heated – speculation, controversy and debate. Here, Farzad Cyrus Sharifi scrutinises the rival Arab-Iranian claims to Bahrain, the Shatt al-Arab waterway, and the Abu Musa and Tunbs islands in the years after World War II and before the Iranian revolution. Through investigation of previously unexamined primary materials and interviews with leading players, this book sheds new light on the evolution and dynamics of hegemonic and nationalistic Arab-Iranian rivalries and how these rivalries began to find symbolic expression through territorial disputes. Sharifi illustrates that these ongoing disputes – and the deep-seated tensions still prevalent in Arab-Iranian relations – are largely rooted in how they were constructed in the post-World War II period, making this book vital reading for researchers of the politics, history, international relations and diplomacy of the Middle East.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm APRIL 20139781848858220 hARDBACk £59.5011 B&W INTEgRATED, 1 mAPLIBRARy OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, VOL. 62

The Eclipse of the Abbasid Caliphate is one of the most original and interesting Arabic chronicles to have survived from the mediaeval Islamic world. Written by the noted Persian historian and philosopher, Abu ‘Ali Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ya’qub Ibn Miskawayh, known as Miskawayh (932-1030), it is a lively, vigorous and remarkably secular account of events during a time that many consider to be the golden age of Islamic scholarship. Miskawayh served at Court in Baghdad and Shiraz and was also librarian and keeper of state papers, and so was well placed to provide what is an extremely well informed chronicle of events. Long out of print and now very rare, this edition is introduced and annotated by Hugh Kennedy, a leading international authority on the period. 3 VOL.

One of the greatest cities of the ancient world, Babylon has been eclipsed by its own sinful reputation. For two thousand years the real, physical metropolis lay buried while another, ghostly city lived on, engorged on accounts of its own destruction. More recently the site of Babylon has been the centre of major excavation: yet the spectacular results of this work have done little to displace the many other fascinating ways in which the city has endured and reinvented itself in culture. Why has Babylon so creatively fired the human imagination? Why has it been so enthralling to so many, and for so long? In exploring answers, Michael Seymour ranges across art, archaeology, history and literature. From Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar to Brueghel, Rembrandt, Voltaire, William Blake and modern interpreters like Umberto Eco, Italo Calvino and Gore Vidal, the author explores a carnival of disparate sources dominated by the intoxicating idea of depravity.352 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANuARy 20139781848857018 hARDBACk £56.50

Shi’i and Sunni Encounters in BaghdadTariq al-Jamil

During the period of Mongol occupation from 1258-1386, Baghdad was a site of intense intellectual debate and dialogue between Shi’i and Sunni communities. In this long-established centre of learning in the Islamic world, scholars such as Ibn Taymiyya and the influential Imami Shi’i scholar Allamah al-Hilli participated extensively in the transmission of knowledge across sectarian lines, as both students and teachers. Tarqi al-Jamil here examines the dynamic and complex nature of Shi’i-Sunni relations and their competition for authority and legitimacy. This significant new history provides a challenge to contemporary discourses that tend to falsely attribute the current political conflict in Iraq to pre-modern Shi’i-Sunni relations in the region. Instead, al-Jamil articulates a framework for understanding the negotiation of boundaries between Shi’i-Sunni religious communities.240 PAgES 216 x 134mm juNE 20139781780764931 hARDBACk £56.00LIBRARy OF mIDDLE EAST hISTORy

Jerusalem occupies a unique and perilous position, as the place in which the three monotheistic religions overlap and collide. For those who have lived in it, the history of this much contested city is one of both tolerance and tension. Maher Abu-Munshar explores Muslim treatment of non-Muslims, critically comparing the periods of the two Islamic conquests of Jerusalem. Caliph ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattab conquered the city in the 7th century, and Sultan Salah al-Din, the legendary ‘Saladdin’ of Western Crusader lore, took back Jerusalem in the Middle Ages. Abu-Munshar counters Western and orientalist arguments that the Islamic conquest in these two periods left the life of non-Muslims in disarray, and establishes important new evidence for debate in Middle East and Islamic Studies, medieval history and religion. 264 PAgES 216 x 134mm NOVEmBER 20129781845113537 hARDBACk £65.009781780764795 PAPERBACk £25.00

The Prospects of One State in the Israel-Palestine Conflicthani faris (ed.), The University of British Columbia

Diplomats, politicians and activists alike have long laboured under the assumption that a two-state solution is the only path to peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. But as this goal has not come to fruition, and the ever-elusive sceptre of peace slips further from reach, violence and instability deepen. This book discusses another – until recently unthinkable – option: a single bi-national state in Israel-Palestine, with all inhabitants sharing in equal rights and citizenship, regardless of ethnicity or faith. It is the first rigorous exploration of this innovative and controversial alternative that has entered the discourse surrounding the peace process. With scholars from both sides of the conflict analysing the possibility of a one-state solution and the shortcomings of the two-state track, this is an important and ground-breaking book.contents:Part I: Is the Two State Settlement Feasible?; Part II: A Historic Settlement in Harmony with the Jewish and Palestinian Ethos; Part III: Strategies for Building One Country; Part IV: The Organization for Building One Country, One State; Part V: The Method for Building One Country and a Postscript.400 PAgES 234 x 156mm APRIL 20139781780760940 hARDBACk £65.00LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 127

Israel, South Africa and the Apartheid QuestionIlan Pappé (ed.), University of Exeter

The word ‘apartheid’ evokes the ideology of racial segregation which dominated South Africa for so many years. Yet opinion-formers, including former US President Jimmy Carter, are increasingly using the word ‘apartheid’ to describe the situation of Arabs in Israel and the Occupied Territories. The use of the word ‘apartheid’ is highly emotive, and has serious implications for international policy. The concept lies at the heart of the growing trades union movement to boycott Israeli products. Yet in the heat of debate, no-one has unpacked the South Africa analogy, and brought on board the expertise of historians, lawyers, journalists and policymakers familiar with the politics of both countries. Now for the first time one of Israel’s most celebrated academics, Ilan Pappé, has gathered together these perspectives in an accessible format which lays out the legal, political and social dimensions of apartheid, and provides an authoritative assessment of its relevance to Israel.272 PAgES 216 x 134mm APRIL 20139781845117214 PAPERBACk £12.99

Peacemaking and Reconstruction in the Palestinian-Israeli Conflicthusam Said Zomlot, Harvard University

In the wake of the settlement of the Oslo Accords in 1993, billions were pledged and disbursed by international donors in support of the Palestinian-Israeli peace process. As a result, the international community had a large stake in the maintenance of the fragile attempts at peace in the Middle East. In Building a State under Occupation, Husam Zomlot assesses the reasons why, despite this outpouring of international aid into the situation, the Oslo Accords ultimately failed. By focusing on donors and the political economy of peacebuilding and reconstruction, Zomlot highlights the assumptions which inform policy-making when attempting to mediate conflict. He therefore suggests that, in addition to a lack of appropriate political will, the international community gravely misread the political realities on both sides, particularly Israel’s intentions with regard to the final outcome. 256 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANuARy 20139781848857728 hARDBACk £54.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 112

The Palestinian refugee question is one of the central and most difficult aspects of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and has long been a major stumbling block in Palestinian-Israeli negotiations. In turn, one of the core aspects of the refugee question is that of compensation for Palestinian refugees displaced by the establishment of Israel. Here, former Palestinian and Israeli negotiators and policy analysts, as well as internationally renowned scholars, come together to examine the question of refugee compensation from a variety of legal, economic, technical, political and comparative perspectives. In doing so, they cast new and important light on the nature of the problem; the way the compensation issue has been approached in past negotiations; possible compensation regimes; and the social and political implications of these various approaches to refugee compensation. This is essential reading on the Arab-Israeli conflict.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781848857278 hARDBACk £59.50

Following its creation in 1948, Israel was confronted with the challenge of establishing relations with key players in the Middle East, in the face of opposition from most of the Arab states. Patten explores the genesis and development of Israel’s foreign relations with Iran, Turkey and Ethiopia, known as the ‘Policy of the Periphery’. Highlighting the pragmatism and Realpolitik at the heart of this policy, Israel and the Cold War analyses the national interests and mutual concerns which shaped relations and strategy at the United Nations during the critical moments of the establishment of the State of Israel and the following forty years, before the ramifications of the Iranian Revolution became apparent. Based primarily on UN documents, this is a vital primary resource for those researching the period, as well as the formulation of foreign policy in the Middle East.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm FEBRuARy 20139781848858084 hARDABCk £56.50LIBRARy OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, VOL. 57

During the final decades of Ottoman rule, Palestine was administratively divided into two states, Jerusalem and Beirut. As the Ottoman Empire began to recede, the education systems, taxation and bureaucracy which were left behind formed the foundation of administration in the Palestinian authority today. The reign of Sultan Abdülmecid I saw great changes in Palestine, in line with the Tanzimat reform programme. At the heart of these radical shifts in thought and infrastructure were the new administrative centres established by the Ottomans during this period of re-organisation. Drawing extensively on official Ottoman records, Farid Al-Salim charts the transformation of one such centre, Tulkarm, from a small village in central Palestine to a seat of administrative reform in order to provide a new account of the forces behind the formation of modern Palestine.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780764566 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF OTTOmAN STuDIES

Palestine is often viewed, from afar, through the frame of insurmountable difference and violent conflict along religious and ethnic lines. Julia Droeber looks beyond this, as she draws out the way in which sameness and difference is constructed and dealt with in the day to day relationships and practices of different religious communities in the West Bank town of Nablus. She follows the reality of coexistence and the constant negotiation of boundaries between Christians, Muslims and one of the last remaining Samaritan communities worldwide, and how these relationships are complicated by an occupier perceived as ‘Jewish’. This is a sensitive and nuanced study of cultural and religious space in a much-contested region. It illustrates how differences are reconciled, accommodated and emphasised, while existing alongside a common sense of belonging. 256 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780765273 hARDBACk £54.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES

Wm roger louis and robert W. Stookey, with a new introduction by Wm roger louis

The termination of the British Mandate in Palestine was a momentous turning point in Middle Eastern history, marked by the failure of the British to bring about a workable political composition between the Arab and Jewish communities, the subsequent referral of the problem to the United Nations and the emergence of the state of Israel, in part through effective diplomacy, but more particularly by force of arms. The underlying problems caused by the Mandate persist to this day, as intractable as ever, with serious consequences both for local security and international relations. This book provides a detailed overview of the dispute’s historical origins, setting forth, one by one, the perspectives, motivations and objectives of the principal actors in the termination of the Mandate. Featuring a new Introduction by Wm. Roger Louis, this classic work provides important insights into this crucial episode in the history of the Middle East.224 PAgES 216 x 134mm juNE 20139781848858503 PAPERBACk £14.99

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and the Road map for Peaceahmed Qurie (abu ala)

The start of the twenty-first century in Palestine saw the collapse of the 1994 Oslo agreements give way to a turbulent period of dashed hope, escalating violence and internal division. Tracking developments from the Second Intifada of 2000 to Hamas’ 2006 electoral victory, former Palestinian prime minister Ahmed Qurie provides revealing and first hand detail of the monumental changes that have rocked the peace process and the region as a whole. New proposals, such as the Arab Peace Initiative and the Road Map, and historic events, including the death of iconic leader Yasser Arafat and Sharon’s withdrawal from Gaza, are recognised to be of immense significance. However, it is Qurie’s unique position that reveals a new perspective of how they played out on the stages of Palestinian internal governance, regional politics and international diplomacy. 320 PAgES 234 x 156mm APRIL 20139781780760933 hARDBACk £25.00


Christianity arose from the lands of biblical Palestine and, regardless of its twentieth century association with the Arab-Israeli conflict, to Christians around the world it remains first and foremost the birthplace of Christianity. Nevertheless the size of the Christian population among Palestinians today living in Israel and the Palestinian territories is now relatively insignificant. Here Samuel J. Kuruvilla argues that Christian Palestinians often employ politically astute as well as theologically radical means in their efforts to appear relevant as a minority community within Israeli and Palestinian societies. He charts the development of a theology of Christian liberation, particularly in the work of Palestinian Anglican cleric Naim Stifan Ateek and Palestinian Lutheran Pastor Mitri Raheb, among others, as part of the Palestinian people’s struggle for independence. In doing so, Kuruvilla provides a new perspective of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the role of Christians within it. 320 PAgES 216 x 134mm SEPTEmBER 20129781848855519 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF mODERN RELIgION, VOL. 19

60 per cent of Jordanians are of Palestinian origin, a statistic which has propelled Jordan into the role of both player and pawn in regional issues such as the birth of the State of Israel, the prolonged Israel-Palestine conflict, the ascent and decline of Arab nationalism, and the subsequent rise of political Islam and radicalism. Exploring Jordan’s diverse Palestinian communities, Luisa Gandolfo illustrates how the Palestinian majority has been subject to discrimination, all the while also playing a defining role in shaping Jordanian politics, legal frameworks and national identity. Here she examines the kaleidoscope of Palestinian-Jordanian identities that accommodate a complex and overlapping web of different religious affiliations, mixed socio-economic conditions and the experience of exile reconciled with daily life in Jordan. 336 PAgES 216 x 134mm SEPTEmBER 20129781780760957 hARDBACk £59.50

Foreign Policy on the Periphery of the middle EastNoa Schonmann, St Antony’s College, University of Oxford

For Israel, a small state surrounded by what it perceives as hostile neighbours, foreign policy has been stamped as the key to its survival. By embarking on what is now called Israel’s ‘Periphery Pact’ in 1958, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion aspired to transform his small nascent state from an object of international politics into a dynamic agent, capable of defining its own individual foreign policy. This pact was to see Israel reaching out to states on the fringes of the region: Turkey and Iran to the north and Ethiopia and Sudan to the south. But although this policy was abandoned shortly after, it has left a lasting imprint upon how this small but ambitious state has dealt with the wider world, influencing politicians from Shimon Peres to Benjamin Netanyahu. contents:Introduction; Chapter 1: Israeli Foreign Policy Making: Structure and Process; Chapter 2: The Periphery Pace Concept: Men and Ideas; Chapter 3: The Periphery Pact’s Evolution from Concept to Policy; Chapter 4: The Periphery Pact in Practice; Chapter 5: Metamorphoses of the Periphery Pact Doctrine; Conclusion.288 PAgES 234 x 156mm juNE 20139781848857209 hARDBACk £56.509781848857216 PAPERBACk £19.99


Each year, Israel’s young men and women are drafted into compulsory military service and are required to engage directly in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This conflict is by its nature intensely complex and is played out under the full glare of international security. So, how does Israel’s education system prepare its young people for this? How is Palestine, and the Palestinians against whom these young Israelis will potentially be required to use force, portrayed in the school system? Nurit Peled-Elhanan argues that the textbooks used in the school system are laced with a pro-Israel ideology, and that they play a part in priming Israeli children for military service. She analyzes the presentation of images, maps, layouts and use of language in History, Geography and Civic Studies textbooks, and reveals how the books might be seen to marginalize Palestinians, legitimize Israeli military action and reinforce Jewish-Israeli territorial identity. 224 PAgES 216 x 134mm AuguST 20129781845118136 hARDBACk £51.509781780765051 PAPERBACk £14.99

In this book Ilan Pappé integrates new archival material with the findings of recent scholarship to present the reader with a comprehensive and general history of the origins and consequences of the 1948 war. He shows, in sharp contrast to the recollections and myths of both sides, that the military events of 1948 were not decisive. The victory of the Zionist organization and the fate of the Palestinians was determined by politicians on both sides - in the discussions and decisions of the United Nations in 1947-8 and in the Arab League - long before a shot had been fired. Pappé argues that Israel’s failure to take advantage of the genuine opportunity for peace with the Arabs at the UN-sponsored Lausanne Conference in 1949 resulted in the prolonged and tragic conflict between Israel and the Arab states still very much alive today.352 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780764924 PAPERBACk £14.99

Covert action and terrorism have played major roles in the policies of the Middle East. It is impossible to comprehend the intricacies of regional politics without an understanding of the covert machinations that lie beneath the surface. This work is an in-depth study of Syrian politics and foreign relations between 1949 and 1961.; Topics covered include the role of foreign governments in manipulating Syria’s numerous military coups; the covert struggle to remove Adib al-Shishakli, the conflicts in the late 1950s between Syrian politicians and officers, the consolidation of power in Syria by chief Abd al-Hamid Sarraj and his covert battles with Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq from 1957 onwards. Previously unstudied aspects of Syrian covert intervention in the 1958 Lebanese Civil War and of a Syrian-Jordanian “dirty war” are also included. Throughout the book, particular attention is paid to the role of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party.256 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780764955 PAPERBACk £25.00

International Relations and Diplomacy in the middle EastTaku osoegawa, Japan Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Beirut

The so-called ‘Cedar Revolution’ in Lebanon, triggered by the assassination of the former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri in February 2005, brought to an end three decades of Syrian military presence in the country. Stationed there from 1975, at the start of the Lebanese civil war, the presence of Syrian troops in Lebanon has had an enormous impact on both the relations between the two states, as well as on the international relations of the region. Here, Taku Osoegawa examines this crucial relationship, from the beginning of the Syrian presence in Lebanon to the current consequences of the violence in Syria. Concluding that, far from being simple puppets of the Syrian regime, the Lebanese government has had its own reasons for aligning with Syria, this book is essential reading for those interested in the international relations of the Middle East.contents: Chapter 1: Introduction: The Analytical Framework; Chapter 2: Historical Background; Chapter 3: Semi-Anarchy Lebanon and Syrian ; Intervention (1975-1988); Chapter 4: Lebanon from Anarchy to Indirect Rule under Syria (1988-2005); Chapter 5: After the Withdrawal (2005-present); Chapter 5: Conclusion. 288 PAgES 216 x 134mm SEPTEmBER 20139781780765365 hARDBACk £56.00LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES

SYrIa’S role IN a chaNgINg MIDDle eaST

The Syrian-Israeli Peace Talksradwan Ziadeh, Harvard University

In the wake of the Arab spring of 2011, the struggle for leadership of the Arab world has taken on a new significance, and with this comes the ever-present issue of the Arab-Israeli Peace Process. The 1990s was a decade of US-led peace-making in the Middle East, and the Syrian-Israeli talks teetered on a deal more than once. The framework for a potential peace agreement was established through these bilateral negotiations, but after the collapse of the Asad-Clinton summit of 2000, the ‘Syrian track’ stalled as positions hardened and regional and domestic political realities shifted. Here, Radwan Ziadeh tracks these negotiations, from the Madrid conference of 1991, to the Asad-Clinton summit, and beyond, examining how Syria’s foreign policy has changed with the rise to power of Bashar al-Asad and, in Iran, of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the assassination of Rafiq al-Hariri in Lebanon and the Iraq war. 256 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780760971 hARDBACk £56.00

This book combines a vast encyclopaedic history of the war in Lebanon with a penetrating sociological analysis. Tracing the war to its origins, the author shows that it has been primarily a surrogate war over Palestine which escalated into a conflict between the diverse Lebanese communities, each afraid of being the player left standing in a macabre game of musical chairs. Hanf’s central theme is the problem of conflict and conflict regulation between these groups. How were conflicts regulated peacefully before the war? How did the country come to be the battlefield of both a surrogate war and a civil war? How do the Lebanese view what has happened in their country? What are their aspirations and how do they conceive a realistic settlement? Is there any prospect of re-establishing coexistence between different elements of Lebanese society? 736 PAgES 234 x 156mm DECEmBER 20129781848857155 PAPERBACk £25.00

Political Parties and Identity in the middle Eastharriet allsopp

Since the beginning of 2011, the political situation in Syria has consistently found itself at the top of news broadcasts, newspaper headlines and the agendas of politicians. Little-known, however, has been the struggle of the Kurds in Syria to have their voice heard on the political stage and to have equitable access to both economic and political resources. Here, Harriet Allsopp examines contemporary Kurdish politics in Syria, concentrating on the Syrian-Kurdish political parties which operate illegally in the country. It is these parties which, despite state sanctions, have attempted to promote their political agendas and to bring about change for the approximately 3 million Kurds that currently reside in Syria. The Kurds of Syria explores the fundamental issues of minority identity and the concept of being ‘stateless’ in a turbulent region, as well as the organisation of political parties in Syria.contents: Introduction; Chapter 1: The Kurdish Political Parties in Syria; Chapter 2: The Birth of a Syrian Kurdish Polity, 1920-1957; Chapter 3: The Kurdish Political Parties, 1957-2010; Chapter 4: Relations between the Parties and the State; Chapter 5: The Role of Kurdish Parties in Kurdish Society; Chapter 6: The Stateless Kurds of Syria; Chapter 7: Crisis and Consciousness; Conclusion.304 PAgES 216 x 134mm juLy 20139781780765631 hARDBACk £59.505 B&W INTEgRATEDLIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES

Sandwiched between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Bahrain occupies a vital strategic location, and hosts the main US naval base in the Middle East. In the wake of the 2011 ‘Arab Spring’, the problems and political dilemmas which beset this country have acquired international attention: the ruling family is not an indigenous tribe, and Bahrain is now the only Arab country where a largely Sunni government rules a largely Shi’a population. However, Bahrain has also often been a bellwether for trends elsewhere in the Gulf: it was the first of the GCC countries to find commercially viable quantities of oil, the first to build a refinery, and the first to educate women. It remains a regional leader in terms of diversifying the economy away from oil and, most recently, trying to reduce its dependence on foreign labour. Drawing on extensive field research, Kinninmont examines the modern political and economic development of Bahrain, including the recent years of tentative political reform, and the country’s diverse opposition movement.256 PAgES 216 x 134mm APRIL 20139781848854482 hARDBACk £35.00guLF STATES IN FOCuS


Buraimi is a small oasis in an otherwise bleak desert. In the early 20th century it shot to notoriety as oil brought the world’s attention to this corner of the Arabian Peninsula. In this exciting account of the conflict Michael Quentin Morton tells the story of how the overwhelming power of oil and the conflicting interests of the declining British Empire and the United States all came to a head, shaping the future of the Gulf States. With colourful additions from firsthand accounts, Morton brings a range of historical figures to life, from the American oilmen arriving in steamy Jedda in the 1930s, to the rival sheikhs of the oasis competing for power, wealth and allegiances as well as the great players in world politics: Churchill, Truman and Ibn Saud. This entertaining, yet thoroughly researched book is a story of decisive conflict in the history of Middle East.304 PAgES 234 x 156mm mAy 20139781848858183 hARDBACk £25.0030 INTEgRATED B&W, 1 mAP

South Yemen has come to be seen as a potential Al-Qaeda stronghold and at the heart of a separatist movement threatening to rip apart southern Arabia. How has this country of forbidding mountains and arid deserts gone from British colony to communist state and then to ‘terrorist base’ in just half a century? In Yemen Divided, author and Middle East expert Noel Brehony tells for the first time the comprehensive history of the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen (PDRY). He explains the power politics that came to form a communist republic a few hundred miles from the holiest site in Islam, and the process and conflicts that led to Yemeni unification in 1990. The impact of PDRY is still felt today as unrest continues to escalate across the south. Yemen Divided is an important book for anyone wanting to understand why Yemen has veered towards massive instability.304 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANuARy 20139781848856356 hARDBACk £35.009781848857599 PAPERBACk £14.99

Linking the lawless Horn of Africa to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, Yemen is a strategically vital country on the brink of collapse, whose implosion, combined with a growing Al Qaeda presence, could have consequences for the whole Middle East and beyond.Ginny Hill takes us inside this fascinating and complex country, introducing us to a range of characters: Somali refugees, tribal warlords, Qat-chewing philosophers, corrupt politicians and gun-runners. She shows us the transnational networks of crime, people-smuggling and terrorism which sweep through the country, the legacy of civil war and how the most vibrant democracy in the Middle East became mired in corruption and separatist violence. Part reportage, part history and part informed analysis, this is an indispensable guide to the little-understood country which is about to dominate international headlines.224 PAgES 216 x 134mm juNE 20139781848857582 hARDBACk £49.509781848857599 PAPERBACk £14.99

The leaders of the oil-rich rentier states of the Middle East, and in particular in the Gulf, have hitherto often predicated their legitimacy on a tacit social contract with their (much poorer) populations. This social contract consists of little or no direct taxation, with some sort of subsidised living. But the casualty of this tacit agreement is often political participation, an issue which has come to the forefront in the Middle East following the ‘Arab Spring’ of 2011. Here, Sulaiman Al-Farsi looks at the impact the rentier nature of the Gulf States has on political participation, focusing on the nexus between tribe, religion and a new generation of young, highly educated citizens that is present in Oman. Specifically exploring the concept of shura (consultation), and how nascent concepts of democracy in the practice of shura have impacted and shaped the process of democratisation, Al-Farsi’s book is vital in the examination of the political discourse surrounding democratisation across one of the most strategically important, but little understood states in the Middle East. 320 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780760902 hARDBACk £59.50

In the depths of the Cold War and in the wake of Britain’s announcement of its intention to withdraw ‘East of Suez’ by the end of 1971, Britain was faced with the stark reality of a Marxist rebellion in the Dhofar province of Oman. State Building and Counter Insurgency in Oman offers an exploration of the attempts by officials and politicians in Whitehall and the Gulf to reconcile attempts to protect national interests and create an effective, centralised Omani administration and security bodies, whilst maintaining the image of strategic withdrawal and the sovereign independence of Oman. This book thus provides vital information and analysis for students and researchers of Middle East History and Politics, the decline and end of empire and the policymaking processes at the heart of an imperial and military withdrawal.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANuARy 20139781848856349 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 107

Amidst political upheaval and the decline of the Ottoman Empire, the state of Kuwait emerged as an independent country under British protection in 1899, with Sheikh Mubarak Al Sabah widely accredited as the instrument of its foundation. But the path to power for Mubarak was not a simple or smooth one. The author here presents an original perspective on the difficulties and controversies surrounding Mubarak’s ascension. With unparalleled insights and access to original sources she reveals the life, personality and politics of a man who, determined to secure a distinctive Kuwaiti state, helped to shape the modern Middle East. This biography provides a comprehensive overview of a time of significant political and social change in the Gulf when development, diplomacy, economics, finance and trade were routes to both political independence and the perpetuation of British domination. 304 PAgES 234 x 156mm APRIL 20139781780764542 hARDBACk £35.00

Sheikh Mubarak was the founder of the modern state of Kuwait. But the man who actually led Kuwait to modernity was his son Abdullah Mubarak Al-Sabah, one of the most significant figures of Kuwait from the 1940s to Kuwaiti independence in 1961. Largely responsible for the creation of the Kuwaiti defence forces, Abdullah Mubarak Al-Sabah made a point of prioritising what he saw to be Kuwait’s national interests in the face of British, American and Iranian pressures during a crucial period of change. The author here presents this part-biography, part-history of modern Kuwait, with fresh new research and insights. From America’s drive to build stronger connections in the region in the 1950s to sensitive diplomatic issues such as water, border disputes and difficult interactions with Iraq, the author examines Kuwait’s relations with its neighbours and the West, and the role played by this pivotal figure in the country’s history and development. 304 PAgES 234 x 156mm juNE 20139781780764337 hARDBACk £35.00

Despite their small populations, the Arab states of the Gulf exercise an enormous and global influence. But all too often, these states are treated as if their only importance were as pawns in a global strategic board game, and are simply dealt with as mere models of the intersection of oil, wealth and power. Here, Dresch and Piscatori bring together a more nuanced picture: exploring how the citizen populations of these states define themselves in a wider context.Examining the issues such as Gulf-owned transnational media, the role of women in the Kuwaiti state and the way Saudi Arabia manages the yearly influx of pilgrims for the Hajj, Monarchies and Nations is essential reading for all those interested in the society, politics and the future security of the Gulf.320 PAgES 234 x 156mm DECEmBER 20129781848858664 PAPERBACk £16.99

Wahhabism, the conservative creed underpinning the ruling ideology of the Saudi dynasty, has become a commonplace word. But whilst many examinations of Wahhabism jump straight from its founder, Muhammad Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab (1702-91) to the present day, here Tarik K. Firro examines the period in between, after the Ottoman-Saudi War and the subsequent occupation and then partial withdrawal of Ottoman-commanded Egyptian troops in the early nineteenth century. From the Al-Saud’s consolidation of their position after Egyptian occupation to their relative decline at the end of the nineteenth century, Firro analyses the ‘second Saudi state’ in the Nejd. Firro offers insight into the Arabian tribal system and the relationship between the ruling princes, such as Turki Ibn ‘Abdallah Ibn Saud and his son Faysal Ibn Turki, with the ulama, such as the al-Shaykh family. 256 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780761732 hARDBACk £56.00LIBRARy OF mIDDLE EAST hISTORy, VOL. 34

The stateless (bidun) of Kuwait represent around 10 per cent of Kuwaiti nationals – approximately 100,000 people. With their origins in the tribes of the northern Arabian deserts, they are, for most outsiders, indistinguishable from Kuwaitis. After a period when the state condoned the presence of people with an undefined status on its territory, the biduns were classified as ‘illegal migrants’ in 1986. As such, they were gradually deprived of all their rights: from access to the job market, health and education to the issuing of birth, marriage or death certificates. contents: Introduction; 1: Citizenship in the Arab Gulf States: Redistribution and Distinction; 2: Nationality: From a Standard to a Right; 3: The Transnational Foundations of the Kuwaiti Emirate; 4: The Kuwaiti Social Pact: Conceptions and Practices of Nationality; 5: Turning the Al-Sabah Rule into a Constitutional State; 6: Administrative Violence; 7: Biduns’ Coping Strategies; 8: External Pressures and the Promotion of the Human Rights Regime; Part IV: Political Economy of Naturalisation: Solving the Biduns Issue?; 9: Keeping Welfare Privileges, Buying Time; 10: ‘Give Biduns Their Human Rights’; 11: Emerging Biduns’ Voices?; Conclusion. 256 PAgES 216 x 134mm mAy 20139781780765662 hARDBACk £56.006 B&W INTEgRATEDLIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES

The Caliph Al-Muntansir was the eighth Shi’ite Isma’ili Fatimid Caliph, making him both the Isma’ili Imam and secular ruler of a vast empire when he came to power in 1036 at the age of 7. Although he ruled for nearly 60 years, until 1094, his political career was one of disaster and decline as the great empire, secular power and wealth he inherited was in ruins by the end of his reign. In Politics and Power in Late Fatimid Egypt, Kirsten Thomson offers an examination of this leader as well as highlighting the context within which he lived: the relations between different empires, ethnic and religious relations, sectarianism and the overlap of secular and religious power. Examining a crucial and turbulent chapter in Islamic history that tipped the once glorious Fatimids into decline, this book is vital for all those interested in medieval Islamic history. 288 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780761671 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF mIDDLE EAST hISTORy, VOL. 33

Politics, Islam and Neo-Colonialism Between the WarsJames Whidden, Acadia University, Canada

The creation of the Egyptian monarchy in 1922, under King Fuad II, opened contests and debates over fundamental cultural questions, particularly definitions of Egyptian modernity, rule and identity. Here, James Whidden looks at the political, cultural and intellectual landscapes of Egypt between the wars, from the nationalist agitations for independence in 1919, the rise of the Wafd – first under Saad Zaghul and then Mustafa El-Nahas Pasha – and the rise and fall of different political and power brokers of the period. Whidden therefore focuses on the different interpretations of the nature of Egyptian politics, highlighting the ways in which patriotism and elitism, Islam and tradition, colonial manipulations, and ideological politics combine. In particular, he examines how monarchists attempted to neutralise opponents through cultural works, patronage and political party contests. contents:Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Historical Context; Chapter 3: Democracy, Aristocracy, Autocracy; Chapter 4: Effendis and Notables: The Elections; Chapter 5: Radicals and Conservatives: The Parliament; Chapter 6: Traditionalism; Chapter 7: Neo-ColonialismChapter 8: Conclusion.256 PAgES 216 x 134mm FEBRuARy 20139781848857063 hARDBACk £54.502 mAPS, 10 B&W INTEgRATEDLIBRARy OF mIDDLE EAST hISTORy, VOL. 29


Hesham Al-Awadi argues that the growing impact of the Muslim Brotherhood on Egyptian politics and society is part of the movement’s struggle to gain official legitimacy since its ban in 1954. The movement’s remarkable presence in syndicates, student unions, investment companies and parliament was the outcome of its highly organised structure, consolidated during the earlier years of Mubarak. Although the Brotherhood failed to secure the recognition of the state, they did secure a degree of informal legitimacy, based on their services to middle class beneficiaries. This ‘social’ legitimacy was soon employed politically against the regime as Mubarak, haunted by the sudden rise of Islamists in Algeria and his failure to legitimate his leadership, was impelled to revoke his policies in the nineties. This lucid and original book shows the paradox of a movement that wishes to compete within the political system on an equal basis to other parties.272 PAgES 216 x 135mm FEBRuARy 20139781850436324 hARDBACk £65.009781780764306 PAPERBACk £25.00

The conquest of Egypt by Islamic armies under the command of Amr ibn al-As in the seventh century transformed medieval Egyptian society. Seeking to uncover the broader cultural changes of the period by drawing on a wide array of literary and documentary sources, Maged Mikhail stresses the cultural and institutional developments that punctuated the histories of Christians and Muslims in the province under early Islamic rule. From Byzantine to Islamic Egypt traces how the largely agrarian Egyptian society responded to the influx of Arabic and Islam, the means by which the Coptic Church constructed its sectarian identity, the Islamisation of the administrative classes and how these factors converged to create a new medieval society. The result is a fascinating and essential study for scholars of Byzantine and early Islamic Egypt.416 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781848859388 hARDBACk £56.50

The Coptic Christians of Egypt have traditionally been portrayed as a ‘beleaguered minority’. This book uses newly discovered Coptic archival sources to present a vivid and alternative image of the community, examining Coptic agency in the twentieth century. Vivian Ibrahim reveals a strong Coptic response to the emergence and threats of Political Islam from the 1940s, and examines how Copts negotiated a role for themselves during the colonial period and in Nasser’s post-revolutionary Egypt. Dismissing the monolithic portrayal of the community, she highlights the varied Coptic factions and groups that contributed to the identity of the Coptic community in the first half of the twentieth century.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm NOVEmBER 20129781780764665 PAPERBACk £25.007 B&W INTEgRATED

The Challenges of modernisation and Identityvivian Ibrahim, SOAS

In the 2011 Arab uprisings, digital media and social networking tools played their part, used both by the demonstrators and by authorities fighting against this popular pressure for change. In particular, the Egyptian government’s attempt to block Internet and mobile phone access demonstrated the extent to which it was seen as powerful and dangerous tool. What is yet to be examined is the local context that allowed digital media to play this role, and in Egypt a history of online activism has laid important ground work. Faris argues that it was circumstances particular to Egypt, more than the ‘spark’ from Tunisia, that allowed the revolution to take off – namely blogging and digital activism stretching back into the 1990s, combined with sustained and numerous protest movements and an independent press. This book tracks the rocky path taken by Egyptian bloggers operating in Mubarak’s authoritarian regime to illustrate how the state monopoly on information has been eroded. 288 PAgES 216 x 134mm DECEmBER 20129781780761503 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 129

From the heady days of Nasser’s Arab nationalism to the cold peace of the Mubarak era, the idea and reality of Israel has occupied a central position in Egyptian politics. Ewan Stein seeks to explain and historicise the state of ‘no war, no peace’ that followed the 1979 Camp David Accords, examining the way in which domestic factors interact with global and regional shifts to shape attitudes to Israel in the Arab world’s most populous country. Incorporating the writings of prominent political thinkers, this book looks at how approaches to Israel have been elaborated through broader ideologies - in particular liberal nationalism, Marxism and Islamism. It argues that representations of Israel have reflected Egyptian conceptions of self. 320 PAgES 216 x 134mm SEPTEmBER 20129781848854604 hARDBACm £59.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 106

During much of the twentieth century, art and cultural production in Egypt operated against a backdrop of political crisis. Two central issues crossed and interacted with the arts and aesthetics of the era: the Egyptian peasant struggles against capitalist agriculture in the 1920s; and the problem of nationalism and the state. Patrick Kane here situates key Egyptian art movements in their political, social and historical contexts. He examines movements such as the rise of the Egyptian Surrealists in the late 1930s and the Contemporary Art Group from the late 1940s, comparing them with the discourse of the Egyptian nationalist ‘nahdah’ (or Renaissance), which arose from the late 1920s and was concerned with reviving Islamic and Arab culture and traditions. By interpreting the political and social context of art production, this book places the discourse of art and aesthetic criticism in the context of the cosmopolitan multicultural society that fostered its formation.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm NOVEmBER 20129781848856042 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 105

The Copts of Egypt Before and After the Islamic ConquestsSawirus b. al-Muqaffa, Introduction by hugh kennedy, SOAS

A History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria presents a series of biographies of the Coptic patriarchs from the beginning (St Mark) to 849 AD. Ascribed to Sawirus b. Al-Muqaffa (died 987), Bishop of Hermopolis Magna in Upper Egypt, many are in fact older Coptic works translated into Arabic and edited by Sawirus. The events recorded – which include the Muslim conquest of Egypt, the overthrow of the last Umayad ruler Marwan II, Arab-Christian relations and histories of the various countries – are often based upon eyewitness accounts by contemporary authors. As such they provide an essential source for the religious, economic and social life of Egypt in the early Islamic period. This important text remains unavailable even in many libraries. This edition contains both the Arabic text and the English translation of B. Evetts, together with an Introduction by leading contemporary scholar Hugh Kennedy.692 PAgES 234 x 156mm FEBRuARy 20139781780764467 hARDBACk £250.003 VOL. SET

The recent rise of Berber identity politics in North Africa has proved difficult to explain. The 2001 riots amongt the Berber of Kabylia – apparently motivated by the desire for official recognition of the Berber language – exemplified this. Experts had long assumed that before the advent of the colonial state, Algeria’s Berbers were a disparate collection of kinship groups, with no indigenous political traditions or collective identity. But as Hugh Roberts argues in this iconoclastic book, this view is based on flawed assumptions. For one thing, it overlooks pre-colonial political institutions such as the village assembly, the jem’a. Drawing on years of original research, Roberts offers the first comprehensive portrait of the social and political structures of pre-colonial Kabylia. In doing so, he challenges the influential writings of Ernest Gellner, and offers a radically new way to understand the complexities of contemporary Algerian politics. 224 PAgES 234 x 156mm juLy 20139781845112516 hARDBACk £49.50LIBRARy OF mIDDLE EAST hISTORy, VOL. 14

Nationalism was a defining characteristic of Turkey in the 20th century, and was a central driving force in Ataturk’s foundation of the Republic in 1923. How did the prominence of Kemalist ways of political thinking affect its people and its policies? How will Turkey make progress towards post-nationalism in the 21st century? To what extent has Turkey’s EU candidature been a vehicle of transformation since 1999 and what would EU membership mean for modern Turkey? This book explores the historical impact of Kemalism, anti-liberalism and Westernization and examines the conditions which have contributed to the country’s evolution away from a nationalist political identity. Tracing the development of nationalism from its founding period before the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 to the present AKP government, this strong and significant contribution casts a new light on a vivid international debate.264 PAgES 234 x 156mm NOVEmBER 20129781845111410 hARDBACk £65.009781780763996 PAPERBACk £25.00

The infamous Ottoman devsirme – the levy and enslavement of young male subjects from the Christian regions of the empire for palace and military service by the Turks – has been traditionally understood as a mechanism of both elite recruitment and Muslim conversion. Here Charles Argo investigates the political and cultural resonance of the act itself; an act that reproduced in spectacle form Ottoman ideologies of dynastic legitimacy and political hegemony amongst its Christian subjects. Viewed thus, the levy transcends its utility as a recruitment mechanism, and becomes an important – even iconic – display of political will that significantly shaped the cultural reality for Balkan peoples under Ottoman rule. 256 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANuARy 20139781848856196 hARDBACk £54.5015 B&W INTEgRATED, 15 mAPSLIBRARy OF OTTOmAN STuDIES, VOL. 25

In the age of the Great Powers, with Russia and France at war, and the Ottoman Empire at the height of its influence and majesty, the British diplomat Stratford Canning arrived in Constantinople. The cousin of George Canning, he would be Britain’s representative in the power politics of the Middle East for almost two decades, and was instrumental in the events which led up to the Crimean War and those surrounding the ‘eastern question’ of the nineteenth century. In The Voice of England in the East, Steven Richmond reconstructs the diplomatic priorities of the period through the private papers and letters of a key British statesman, comparing them for the first time with Ottoman accounts written in the Sultan’s court. The result is a new analytical history of the late Ottoman Empire, British diplomacy in the era of Palmerston and the reality of politics in the ‘great game’ of the nineteenth century.288 PAgES 234 x 156mm juNE 20139781780761176 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF OTTOmAN STuDIES, VOL. 35

One of the most powerful dynasties to rule in the medieval Middle East, the Seljuks played a critical role in the development of Anatolia’s multi-ethnic, multi-confessional identity. Under Seljuk rule (c. 1081–1308), the formerly Christian Byzantine territories of Anatolia were transformed by the development of Muslim culture, society and politics, and it was then – well before the arrival of the Ottomans – that a Turkish population became firmly established in these lands. Here, Andrew Peacock and Sara Nur Yildiz explore the history of Anatolia under Seljuk rule in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, examining developments in culture, politics, religion and society and shedding new light on the influence of the dynasty within Anatolia and throughout Western Asia. 288 PAgES 216 x 134mm NOVEmBER 20129781848858879 hARDBACk £56.00LIBRARy OF mIDDLE EAST hISTORy35 B&W INTEgRATED

The stories behind Turkey’s huge variety of sweets and puddings are as fascinating as their multiplicity of flavours. This riveting exploration of their history and role in Turkish culture is a voyage of adventure, taking us from the sultan’s palace to the homes of ordinary people in Turkey’s villages and towns, and beyond to Central Asia, Persia, Arabia, Egypt and the Levant. This is the land of Turkish delight perfumed with rosewater and musk, rose jam, whose praises were sung by Rumi, asure, zerde tinted with saffron, baklava filled with nuts, clotted cream or cheese, milk puddings and helvas, strings of nuts dipped in grape syrup, lollipops in the shape of animals and model gardens built of sugar carried in wedding processions. The first study of Turkish confectionery ever to be published, Sherbet and Spice offers a rare look at the evolution of sweets from the non-European angle, based on many Turkish sources little known outside Turkey that lend a new dimension to the subject.256 PAgES 234 x 156mm NOVEmBER 20129781848858985 hARDBACk £20.00 30 COLOuR INTEgRATED

Redefining State and Society from the Ottoman Empire to the modern Erafatma Müge göçek, University of Michigan

In 1923, the modern Turkish Republic rose from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, proclaiming a new era in the Middle East. However, many of the contemporary issues affecting Turkish state and society today have their roots not only in the history of the republic, but in the historical and political memory of the state’s imperial history. Here Fatma Müge Göçek draws on Turkey’s Ottoman heritage and history to explore current issues of ethnicity and religion alongside Turkey’s international position. This new perspective on history’s influence on contemporary tensions in Turkey will contribute to the ongoing debate surrounding Turkey’s accession to the EU, and offers insight into the social transformations in the transition from Ottoman Empire to Turkish Nation-State. This analysis will be vital to those involved in the study of the Middle East Imperial History and Turkey’s relations with the West.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANuARy 20139781848856110 hARDBACk £59.509781780764863 PAPERABCk £25.00

Eric Hobsbawm famously called late twentieth-century Turkey ‘the last stronghold of the peasantry’. Turkey’s unique social, cultural and economic development after World War II kept intact a large social group which had all but disappeared in the rest of Europe by the 1960s. In the first period of Turkish multi-party democracy, this peasantry were re-invented, re-defined and ‘imagined’ by various political factions as Turkey attempted to shed its Ottoman past. Addressing these attempts to mould the peasantry to fit the needs of Turkish elite politics, Sinan Yildirmaz also repositions the peasantry in this period as a complex independent cultural and political force. Through the translation of ‘village literature’, which provided a forum for political and social debate, the agency of this previously unheard voice is revealed, along with their role in the formation of Turkey. 320 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780761138 hARDBACk £59.50INT.

Cavaliero analyses the Romantic vision of the Orient from Ottoman Turkey, through the Middle East, including Egypt and Persia, to the Vale of Kashmir – fascination with the exotic Orient mixed with distaste for despotic rule.The Romantics saw the Ottoman Empire as the feebler successor to the huge and invincible military state that threatened Europe in previous centuries; and the Ottoman Sultan as an absolute ruler living in distant splendour, with power of life and death over his people, stifling any national and democratic aspiration that might undermine his empire. But dislike of Oriental despotism could be overlaid by the frisson of oriental luxury, especially as the Ottoman Sultans were also heirs to the Caliphate of the iconic Harun ar Rashid in the fabulous Arabian Nights Entertainments. Cavaliero’s Ottomania will delight all readers interested in tales of the Orient and the literature of the Romantic movement – a rich treasure-house of poets, novelists and travellers.192 PAgES 234 x 156mm FEBRuARy 20139781780764825 PAPERBACk £12.999781848851061 hARDBACk £56.0016 INTEgRATED B&W

In an increasingly globalised world, the engagement of diasporic communities in transnationalism has become a potent force. Here, Banu Senay argues that expanding channels of communication have provided the Turkish state with more scope to mobilise its nationals abroad around official Kemalist ideology – in this case, in Australia. It is through the prism of ‘long-distance Kemalism’ that this book explores ideas of nationalism, identity politics and cross-border mobilisation. While the Turkish state injects its presence into everyday life – through its consular institutions and its management of Islam – it is the work of activists that gives efficacy to the ‘long arm of Kemalism’. However, the Australian multicultural context challenges this by giving a platform to groups, such as Kurds or Armenians, whose identity politics clash with that of Turkish officialdom. This book provides important new material for researchers of international politics, nationalism and migration.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm DECEmBER 20129781780760872 hARDBACk £56.00

Adnan Menderes’ election to power in 1950 signalled a new epoch in the history of modern Turkey. For the first time a democratic government ruled the country, challenging the political monopoly of the Kemalist elites. However, this period was short-lived. In 1960, Turkey’s army staged a coup d’état and Menderes was hanged the following year. Here, Mogens Pelt examines the era of the rule of the Democratic Party and the legacy of the military intervention that brought it to an end. Although the armed forces officially returned power to the civilians in 1961, this intervention allowed the military to become a major player in Turkey’s political process, weakening the role of elected politicians. This unique exploration of the Menderes’ period sheds new light on the shaping of post-war Turkey and will be vital for those researching the Turkish Republic, and the influence of the military in its destiny.304 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANAuRy 20139781848857780 hARDABCk £56.50LIBRARy OF mODERN TuRkEy, VOL. 1

janissaries, modernisation and Rebellion in the Nineteenth Centuryfatma Sel Turhan

Bosnia enjoyed a special status within the Ottoman Empire. Many of the empire’s ‘janissaries’, an elite military stratum of soldiers and nobleman, hailed from this Balkan region. So when Sultan Mehmet II abolished this warrior class in 1826, and this curtailed the region’s access to influence in Constantinople, Bosnia rebelled. Under the leadership of Husein Gradašcevic, the ‘dragon of Bosnia’, the kingdom declared independence and waged war with the Ottoman Empire. For the first time, Fatma Sel Turhan illuminates a period of crucial importance to the Balkan regions. She argues convincingly that the uprising was a response to Ottoman moves towards modernization designed to save the Ottoman Empire from decline, but which eventually led to its demise. 336 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780761114 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF OTTOmAN STuDIES, VOL. 34

Beginning on the eve of Oceanic exploration, and the first European forays into the Indian Ocean and the Middle East, The Ottomans and the Mamluks traces the growth of the Ottoman Empire from a tiny Anatolian principality to a world power, and the relative decline of the Mamluks – historic defenders of Mecca and Medina and the rulers of Egypt and Syria. Cihan Yüksel Muslu traces the intertwined stories of these two dominant Sunni Muslim empires of the early modern world, setting out to question the view that Muslim rulers were historically concerned above all with the idea of Jihad against non-Muslim entities. Through analysis of the diplomatic and military engagements around the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean, Muslu traces the interactions of these Islamic super-powers and their attitudes towards the wider world. 256 PAgES 216 x 134mm juNE 20139781780761497 hARDBACk £56.00LIBRARy OF OTTOmAN STuDIES, VOL. 36

Economic migration and Commerce in the Early modern PeriodSuraiya faroqhi, Istanbul Bilgi University

It has often been assumed that the subjects of the Ottoman sultans were unable to travel beyond their localities – since peasants needed the permission of their local administrators before they could legitimately leave their villages. According to this view, only soldiers and members of the governing elite would have been free to travel. However Suraiya Faroqhi’s extensive archival research shows that this was not the case. Pious men from all walks of life went on pilgrimage to Mecca, slaves fled from their masters and craftspeople travelled in search of work. Faroqhi shows that even those craftsmen who did not travel extensively had some level of mobility and that the Ottoman sultans and viziers, who spent so much effort in attempting to control the movements of their subjects, could do so only within often very narrow limits. 320 PAgES 234 x 156mm mARCh 20139781780764818 hARDBACk £59.50


In 1543, the Ottoman fleet appeared off the coast of France to bombard and lay siege to the city of Nice. The operation, under the command of Admiral Barbarossa, came in response to a request from François I of France for assistance from Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent in France’s struggle against Charles V, the Habsburg Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain. This military alliance between mutual ‘infidels’, the Christian French King and the Muslim Sultan, aroused intense condemnation on religious grounds from the Habsburgs and their supporters as an aberration from accepted diplomacy. Memories of the Crusades were, after all, still very much alive in Europe and an alliance with ‘the Turk’ seemed unthinkable to many. Allies with the Infidel places the events of 1543 and the subsequent wintering of the Ottoman fleet in Toulon in the context of the power politics of the sixteenth century. 288 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANuARy 20139781848857285 hARDBACk £52.509781780764979 PAPERBACk £17.99LIBRARy OF OTTOmAN STuDIES, VOL. 30

Mustafa Kemal – latterly and better known as Atatürk – is without doubt the towering figure of modern Turkish history. But what was his path to power? And how did his early career as a soldier in the Ottoman army affect his later decisions as President? The Young Atatürk tracks the lesser covered period of Kemal’s life – from the War of Independence to the founding of the Republic – and shows that it is only by understanding Kemal’s military career that one can fully comprehend how he evolved as one of the twentieth century’s most extraordinary statesmen. Delving into Kemal’s military writings, orders, and political decisions, speeches, proclamations and private correspondences, this book provides a rounded and nuanced portrait of the making of a major statesman.288 PAgES 228 x 155mm FEBRuARy 20139781780763224 hARDBACk £25.0020 B&W IN 16PP PLATES

The SIege of ShkoDra

Marin Barleti, translated David hosaflook

In 1474 and 1478, the Ottomans under Mehmed the Conqueror waged vicious campaigns against the Venetian-occupied city-fortress of Shkodra in northwestern Albania, besieging the city and its inhabitants. Although the campaigns were unsuccessful, the sieges were devastating and lengthy and Venice eventually surrendered Shkodra to the Ottoman sultan. Marin Barleti’s seminal work recounts the dramatic history of the Turkish campaign against Shkodra and its environs. Barleti, a Catholic priest, witnessed and fought in the sieges and addressed his eye-witness account to the Venetian Senate, which was providing refuge for the besieged after the surrender. This book is the first English translation of one of the most important works in Albanian historical literature, bringing The Siege of Shkodra to a new audience. The Albanian contribution to slowing the Ottoman forces, intent on conquering all of Europe, has oft been overlooked. 256 PAgES 234 x 156mm mAy 20129781780760780 hARDBACk £35.00

The Left and the Transformation of the Republican People’s PartyYunus emre, Istanbul Kültür University

The RPP (Republican People’s Party) stands as Turkey’s main opposition party – one of two major political blocs, second only to Erdogan’s ruling AK Party. Also known as the CHP (Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi), it was the founding party of Atatürk’s republican regime and had a history of hostility towards leftist parties. Despite this, by the mid-1960s, the RPP had re-orientated itself as left of centre, as the growing influence of the left inside the RPP pushed it in a new direction. This is hailed as the entry point of social democratic politics into Turkey, and is the focus of Yunus Emre’s impressively researched book. He tracks the fluctuations in Turkish politics from the single-party period to the making of a new regime following the 1960 coup, looking at the place of both the RPP and the left in this trajectory, making this essential reading for scholars of Turkish politics and modern history. 336 PAgES 216 x 134mm AuguST 20139781780764399 hARDBACk £59.503 B&W INTEgRATEDLIBRARy OF mODERN TuRkEy

Railway expansion was symbolic of modernisation in the late nineteenth century, and Britain, Germany and France built railways at enormous speed and reaped great commercial benefits. In the Middle East, railways were no less important and the Ottoman Empire’s Hejaz Railway was the first great industrial project of the twentieth century. A route running from Damascus to Mecca, it was longer than the line from Berlin to Baghdad and was designed to function as the artery of the Arab world – linking Constantinople to Arabia. Built by German engineers, and instituted by Sultan Abdul Hamid II, the railway was financially crippling for the Ottoman state and its eventual stoppage 250 miles short of Mecca (the railway ended in Medina) was symbolic of the Ottoman Empire’s crumbling economic and diplomatic fortunes. This is the first book in English on the subject.256 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780763644 hARDBACk £56.50LIBRARy OF OTTOmAN STuDIES, VOL. 39

The network of freemasons and Masonic lodges in the Middle East is an opaque and mysterious one, and is all too often seen – within the area – as a vanguard for Western purposes of regional domination. But here, Dorothe Sommer explains how freemasonry in Greater Syria at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century actually developed a life of its own, promoting local and regional identities. She stresses that during the rule of the Ottoman Empire, freemasonry was actually one of the first institutions in what is now Syria and Lebanon which overcame religious and sectarian divisions. Indeed, the lodges attracted more participants – such as the Trad Family, the Jurji Yanni Yaziji Family, Hassan Bayhum, Alexander Barroudi and Khaireddeen Abdulwahab – than any other society or fraternity. 320 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780763132 hARDBACk £59.502 LINE, 16 B&W INTEgRATEDLIBRARy OF OTTOmAN STuDIES, VOL. 37

A history of the Fraternity and its Influence in Syria and the LevantDorothe Sommer, University of Sheffield

In the century after 1530 the Catholic Monarchy of the Habsburgs and the Muslim Sultans of the Ottoman Empire fought a maritime war of ambiguous achievements. Lasting peace was as unlikely as final triumph and major campaigns seemed destined to lead nowhere, in part because the salient feature of this war was a form of piracy practiced by the North African Barbary corsairs. It was also a war of unequal means, since the Habsburgs had too few good warships and the Ottomans too many bad ones. Phillip Williams here provides a detailed examination of the nature of what came to be seen as a Holy War between Christendom and the Islamic World in the early modern Mediterranean – from the oared warships used in the battles to the structures of political and military organization and the role of geography and the environment in shaping the conflict. 320 PAgES 234 x 156mm jANuARy 20139781848859852 hARDBACk £59.5015 B&W INTEgRATED, 3 mAPSINTERNATIONAL LIBRARy OF hISTORICAL STuDIES, VOL. 79

In its transition from 18th century capital of the Ottoman Empire to economic powerhouse of the Turkish Republic, the city of Istanbul has been transformed beyond recognition. Using newly released archive sources, Murat Gül charts the urban transformation of Istanbul during the late Ottoman, early Republican and the Democrat Party periods of Turkish history. After the establishment of the Republic, Turkey increasingly turned to the West for ideas about how to develop a modern culture, particularly in its most populous city. Istanbul became a forum for the different regimes to display their political, ideological and social policies in the context of the built environment. Gül traces the impact of these changing policies on the very fabric of the city itself – in its streets, buildings and landscapes – and in the process provides new insights into the history of Turkey.256 PAgES 234 x 156mm OCTOBER 20129781845119355 hARDBACk £65.009781780763743 PAPERBACk £17.9940 B/W INTEgRATED

‘West’ or ‘East’? ‘Modern’ or ‘Traditional’? ‘Global’ or ‘Local’? ‘Secular’ or ‘Islamic’? ‘Turkish’ or ‘Other’? These seemingly polar opposites have all-too-often been lazily used when examining the nature of the modern Turkish state and its society. Here, Hasan Turunc seeks to look at the nuance which lies in between these opposites, analysing the explosion of civil society institutions under the aegis and protection of the EU Copenhagen Political Criteria (which holds out eventual EU accession as the ultimate incentive in the negotiations). He thereby explores how the role of the army in Turkish society has been altered with the commencement of the EU accession process, as the balance is shifted more towards civilian institutions and away from the military. The EU talks also have ramifications for issues such as the compatibility of Islam and secularism and the relationship between Turks and Kurds within the Turkish state. 288 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780760919 hARDBACk £56.50

The Ottoman Empire maintained a complex and powerful bureaucratic system which enforced the Sultan’s authority across the Empire’s Middle-Eastern territories. This bureaucracy continued to gain in power and prestige, even as the empire itself began to crumble at the end of the nineteenth century. Through extensive new research in the Ottoman archives, Dogan Gurpinar assesses the intellectual, cultural and ideological foundations of the diplomatic service under Sultan Abdülhamid II. Ottoman Imperial Diplomacy presents a new model for understanding the formation of the modern Turkish nation, arguing that these Hamidian reforms – undertaken with the support of the ‘Young Ottomans’ led by Namık Kemal – constituted the beginnings of modern Turkish nationalism. This book will be essential reading for historians of the Ottoman Empire and for those seeking to understand the history of modern Turkey.288 PAgES 234 x 156mm DECEmBER 20129781780761121 hARDBACk £59.50

The question of Kurdish identity and belonging is counted among the most controversial and challenging issues in modern Turkey. This book cuts to the very heart of this debate in an exploration of shifting ethnic identities brought on by the processes of extensive rural-urban labour migration. As well as analysing the effects of migration on social networks and local political landscapes, this volume examines how Kurdish gender roles have changed. The everyday experiences of rural-urban migrants from Van province are central to this book, but they are inextricably linked to conflicting discourses on Kurdishness, identity and the place of this minority in Turkey.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm NOVEmBER 20129781780760926 hARDBACk £59.50

And on the international stage, Turkey has managed to enhance its position from being a backseat NATO member and outside candidate for EU membership to being an influential regional power, determining and developing its own individual foreign policy. contents:Introduction; 1: The Concept of Türkiyeli; 2: Political Liberalization and Constitutional Changes; 3: Turkey: A Rising Normative Power?; 4: Turkey’s Economy and the EU; 5: Kurdish Language at Large; 6: Minority Identities in Contemporary Turkey; Chapter 6: Minor Literatures and their Challenge to ‘National’ Literature 7: Queering Identities in Ottoman History and Turkish Fiction; 8: Kurds and the ‘Kurdish Opening’; 9: Ottoman Influences in Society Today; 10: Identity Formation in Contemporary Turkey: Legacies of a Pre-Turkish past; 11: 0Archaeological Practices in Turkey in the New Millennium. 320 PAgES 216 x 134mm APRIL 20139781780765396 hARDBACk £59.502 INTEgRATED B&WLIBRARy OF mODERN TuRkEy

The Interaction of State and Civil SocietyNur Banu kavakli Birdal, Bogaziçi University

In 2005 Turkey introduced a set of legal reforms that were aimed at curbing incidents of honour killings and punishing those responsible. But in the years since this reform, there are still reports of gender-based violence and such honour killings – in which someone (usually a woman) is killed due to the perception that they have brought ‘dishonour’ upon their family or community – are still taking place. Here, Nur Banu Kavaklı Birdal asks: what has gone wrong? What is problematic about the relation between written law and reality? Why has this new law not had a lasting impact on women’s everyday lives? In looking at the interplay between state and society through the lens of honour killings, Birdal offers a sociological insight into modern Turkey which will appeal to those involved in the study of this country and the wider region.contents: Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Gender and the State; Chapter 3: Women and the Nation; Chapter 4: Law and Gender; Chapter 5: State, Honour and Virginity; Chapter 6: The Involvement of Civil Societal Organisations in Gender-Based Violence; Chapter 7: Conclusion.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm juNE 20139781780765259 hARDBACk £56.00LIBRARy OF mODERN TuRkEy

PeTITIoNINg The SulTaN

Protests and justice in Late Ottoman PalestineYuval Ben-Bassat, University of Haifa

The practice of petitioning the Ottoman Sultan was a well-known institution which existed in one form or another throughout Ottoman history and enabled Ottoman subjects, far from the capital of Istanbul, to convey their grievances directly to the supreme ruler. Here, Yuval Ben-Bassat examines the petitions, including many previously unpublished ones, sent during the last decades of the Empire to the Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamid II. The petitions enable Ben-Bassat to explore Palestine’s history in this formative period from a unique perspective, providing first-hand accounts of the dilemmas, struggles, acts, concerns, schisms and transformations Palestinian society experienced. Petitioning the Sultan will be of great interest to a broad audience of specialists studying the history of the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire, and Palestine’s late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century world. 320 PAgES 216 x 134mm AuguST 20139781780764573 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF OTTOmAN STuDIES, VOL. 42

The rISe of PolITIcal ISlaM IN TurkeY NEW

urban Poverty, grassroots Activism and Islamic Fundamentalismkayhan Delibas, University of Kent

Turkey, officially a secular state, voted in an Islamist party in 2002 and 2007. How far does this reflect the trend which has seen the rise of political Islam across the Middle East? Does this indicate a growing tendency in the direction of Islamisation amongst the Turkish population? If not, what are the underlying reasons behind the electoral triumphs of the Islamist Justice and Development Party (the AKP)? Kayhan Delibas seeks to answer these questions through an in-depth examination of the appeal of this political party, exploring its ideology, the routes and motives which produce party activists and local party organisations. Concluding that the AKP’s success has been built on its criticism of growing inequalities, widespread corruption, unemployment, poverty and lack of basic services, Delibas draws a nuanced portrait of modern Turkish society and the relationship between religion and politics.contents:Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: The Failure of the Mainstream Parties; Chapter 3: The Changing Contours of Political Islam; Chapter 4: The Urban Roots of Political Islam; Chapter 5: Routes to Membership; Chapter 6: Who are the Grassroots Activists?; Chapter 7: The Effects of Grassroots Activism; Chapter 8: Conclusion.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm juNE 20139781780765655 hARDBACk £56.506 INTEgRATED B&WLIBRARy OF mODERN TuRkEy

The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, and the subsequent war with the indigenous Afghan Mujahedeen, was one of the bloodiest conflicts of the Cold War. Key details of the circumstances surrounding the invasion and its ultimate conclusion only months before the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 have long remained unclear; the entire episode is a shadowy narrative of clandestine correspondence, covert operations and failed intelligence. Making use of recently declassified archives, The Secret War in Afghanistan brings to light the full role of the CIA in arming and training the Afghan fighters. Here, Panagiotis Dimitrakis analyses every aspect of this vital turning point in Cold War history; from President Jimmy Carter’s ‘Afghan Trap’ to Margaret Thatcher’s role in the crisis. Dimitrakis also outlines the full extent of China’s involvement in arming the Mujahedeen, effectively fighting Brezhnev’s Soviet Union by proxy. 224 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANAuRy 20139781780764191 hARDBACk £56.00LIBRARy OF mIDDLE EAST hISTORy

Kurds and Identity Politics by one of the world’s leading specialists in this field is based on exhaustive fieldwork and research. Van Bruinessen’s immense expertise allows him to take a broad view, exploring the issues from historical, linguistic and anthropological angles. He sets out the historic struggle of the Kurds and the formation of Kurdish identity in Turkey, Iran and Iraq, and explains it within the context of their global diaspora. He shows that even without an independent Kurdish state – Kurdistan – measures of Kurdish self-government are possible based on a broad understanding of what Kurdish nationhood means. This is a study of Kurdish identity and ethnicity that sets out the historic struggle of the Kurds in Turkey, Iran and Iraq.256 PAgES 216 x 134mm juNE 20139781860646942 hARDBACk £39.509781860646959 PAPERBACk £14.95LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES

Shamans – holy men healers among the pagan faiths – relied heavily on animal sacrifices to create spiritual purity and to nourish the soul. Animals and spirituality were thus locked in a mutually dependent embrace. In this survey of the ancient customs and religions of the larger inner Eurasian landmass, Baldick concludes that in pagan times there were remarkable common features in the forms of worship and spiritual expression among the different peoples of Central Asia, all largely based on the role of animals in their lives. These have survived not only in the myths and legends of the region but have also found their way into the mythologies of the West. This groundbreaking study will be of great importance to historians as well as cultural and social anthropologists.224 PAgES 216 x 134mm AuguST 20129781780762326 PAPERBACk £14.99

The hISTorY of ceNTral aSIa

The Age of the Steppe Warriors (Volume 1)christoph Baumer

The epic plains and arid deserts of Central Asia have witnessed some of the greatest migrations, as well as many of the most transformative developments, in the history of civilization. Christoph Baumer’s ambitious four-volume treatment of the region charts the 3000-year drama of Scythians and Sarmatians; Soviets and transcontinental Silk Roads; trade routes and the transmission of ideas across the steppes; and the breathless and brutal conquests of Alexander the Great and Chinghiz Khan. Masterfully interweaving the stories of individuals and peoples, the author’s engaging prose is richly augmented throughout by colour photographs taken on his own travels. Volume 1 focuses on the geography of the area. Discussing the changing climates of the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Ages, the author explores subjects as diverse as glacial retreat; the invention of the wheel; the legendary Cimmerians and Amazons; Hellenism and Zoroastrianism; and the Oxus Treasure. 544 PAgES 289 x 237mm OCTOBER 20129781780760605 hARDBACk £25.00

Cricket mania has engulfed South Asia with global effect, and nowhere more powerfully than in Pakistan. Here it defines national identity and boosts morale when Pakistan is struggling to contain internal political conflict and the ‘war on terror’ on – and more recently within – its borders. Shaharyar Khan shows how cricket has been transformed by the global media and huge financial rewards bringing in their wake corruption – betting scandals and match-fixing – and threatening the reputation of cricket and sport globally. He shows the media-fed frenzy has exacerbated Pakistan’s social and class divisions and has even brought Islamic religiosity into sport. This is an essential and riveting work for all cricket enthusiasts but with a vital additional dimension of social history and international relations; Khan shows how the former gentlemanly pastime of cricket has grown to be a global Leviathan fed by media frenzy and international money. 320 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780760834 hARDBACk £19.9916 INTEgRATED B&W

The Turbulent Politics of Sport in PakistanShaharyar khan

At the height of the Mughal Empire’s wealth and power, Jahanara Begum, a 17 year old princess, became the head of the imperial harem. Imperial Women in Mughal India shows how this unmarried princess was able to transcend the customary and religious restrictions imposed on her gender, and make an enormous contribution to the architectural, artistic and religious inheritance of the Shah Jahan era. Here, Afshan Bokhari historically and visually annotates Jahan Begum’s two biographical Sufi treatises, as well as assessing the princess’s sacred and secular architectural commissions. Jahanara Begum was a remarkable figure – Sufi spiritualist, patron, and imperial authority – and this book is essential reading for historians of Mughal India, art historians and those interested in gender studies within early modern history.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm juLy 20139781848859500 hARDBACk £59.5010 LINE, 20 COLOuR IN 16PP PLATES

Men in Middle Eastern societies are often viewed by the popular Western media only in the context of religious fundamentalism and the subjugation of women. This new book shifts the discourse on gender, usually focused on women, to men in the Middle East, and to young men in Iranian society in particular – and in the process fills a crucial gap in our understanding. It illustrates that, contrary to common perceptions that Iranian men are ‘tough’, there is an acute desire among young men for women’s approval and friendship, and to be recognised as sensitive and cosmopolitan. Mehri Honarbin-Holliday examines the conflicting factors and complexities involved in the formation of Iranian masculine identity, including the ideals of Persian cultural heritage, the pull of traditional familial and societal expectations, the memory of the 1979 revolution and its aspirations, and the pressures of being outwardly committed to Iran’s political system. 256 APAgES 234 x 156mm mARCh 20139781848857360 hARDBACk £54.50

Women in conflict zones face a wide range of violence: from physical and psychological trauma to political, economic and social disadvantage. And the sources of the violence are varied also: from the ‘public’ violence of the enemy to the more ‘private’ violence of the family. Here, Maria Holt, using research gathered in the Palestinian refugee camps of Lebanon and in the West Bank in 2007, looks at the forms of violence suffered by women in the context of the wider conflict around them. Drawing on first-hand accounts of women who have either participated in, been victims of or bystanders to violence, Women and Conflict in the Middle East highlights the complex situation of these refugees, and explores how many of them become involved in resistance activities. It thus makes essential reading for students of the Israel-Palestine conflict as well as those interested in the gender dimension of conflict.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm juNE 20139781780761008 hARDBACk £56.009781780761015 PAPERBACk £17.99

The rituals of societies across the Islamic world provide a fascinating window into gender roles within those societies. This book examines women’s rituals and ceremonies in contemporary Islam, including both Sunni and Shi’i communities, and ranging from North Africa to the Middle East. Alongside women’s funerary rites among the Bakhtiari and Algerian Taureg, the book brings to light traditions virtually unknown in the West – such as the ‘bride of Qoraysh’ ritual in Iran, a female-only performance of poetry, singing and music in honour of the Prophet’s family. In their totality, the disparate rituals highlight how Muslim women negotiate, challenge or reinforce existing notions of gender and mores within the parameters of religion and culture. The book also examines the evolution and reconstruction of ceremonies in Muslim diaspora communities such as those in Europe and China. 272 PAgES 216 x 134mm mAy 20139781848856486 hARDBACk £54.5025 INTEgRATED B&W

As a result of the revolutions and movements of resistance that spread across the Middle East and North Africa after 2011, the issue of public violence by the state against both men and women dominated the headlines. But gender-based violence, in both its public and private forms, has for the most part remained unnoticed and is often ignored. The forms that this kind of violence can take are influenced by cultural norms and religious beliefs, as well as economic and political circumstances. contents: Introduction; 1: Gender and Violence in the Middle East and North Africa; 2: Gender based Violence in the Middle East and North Africa; 3: Women and Violence in the Light of an Islamic Normative Ethical Theory. 4: Struggle against Male Violence with an Egalitarian Jurisprudence and Islamic Government; 5: Working in a Hostile Environment; 6: Violence against Underage Girl Domestic Workers in Morocco; 7: Prevalence and Factors Exposing Women to Risk of Spousal Violence in Alexandria; 8: Female Genital Mutilation between Culture and Religion; 9: The Insidious Violence; 10: Gender and Verbal Violence in Tunisia; 11: Gender and Language Discrimination in EFL Textbooks; 304 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780765303 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES

Bahrain’s tumultuous political landscape often overshadows the societal upheavals that this tiny country is facing. Sophia Pandya cuts through this to examine how international Islamic revivalism coupled with increased secular education has impacted Muslim women’s religious practice and public position. She unsettles assumptions that education is a secularising force for Muslim women, showing that modern education among Bahraini women has in fact deepened both their engagement with Islam and their political participation. Uncovering what transpires when newly educated women have the opportunity to reinterpret religion and gain access to the work place and the political arena, Pandya sheds light on the complex intersections between women and public life, education and Islam. 224 PAgES 216 x 134mm SEPTEmBER 20129781848858244 hARDBACk £51.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 119

Are women in North Africa and the Middle East ‘feminist’? Or is being a Muslim incompatible with feminism? Is there such a thing as ‘Islamic feminism’? Through interviews with Moroccan activists and jurists – both male and female – and by situating these interviews within their socio-political and economic contexts, Doris Gray addresses these questions. By doing so, she attempts to move beyond the simple bifurcation of ‘feminist’ and ‘Islamist’ to look at the many facets of internal gender discourse within one Muslim country, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of the discussion on women’s rights in the Muslim world in general. The status and the role of women is one of the most hotly debated topics throughout the Middle East and North Africa, and this is particularly visible through this discussion of what it means to engage with and promote feminist thought and actions in the region.256 PAgES 216 x 134mm NOVEmBER 20129781780761817 hARDBACk £56.50INTERNATIONAL LIBRARy OF AFRICAN STuDIES, VOL. 41

In 2005, a Turkish woman was shot dead by her son in an ‘honour killing’ for appearing on a popular women’s talk show on television. The show invited ordinary women from lower socio-economic classes to speak of their experiences of family life: marriage, divorce, child custody rights and relations with in-laws. Here, Solen Sanli examines the diversification of mass media in Turkey following liberalization in the 1980s. Specifically looking at popular women’s talk shows (‘Woman’s Voice’ Television), she explores the way in which groups with political and cultural power control public discourse and the public sphere in Turkey, and how urban/rural and Islamist/secular oppositions play out. contents:1: The Public Sphere and its Problems; 2: Women, Public Sphere and Media in Turkey; 3: The Institutional Framework: A Genealogy of Media Conglomeration; 4: Woman’s Voice as Text: Stories and Structures Underneath;5: The Audience: Watching Woman’s Voice; 6: Behind the Camera: Production of Women’s Voice;7: Cultural Competencies: Republican Capital and Cultural Consumption in Turkey288 PAgES 234 x 156mm mARCh 20139781848859098 hARDBACk £56.50LIBRARy OF mODERN TuRkEy

Modest dressing, both secular and religious, is a growing trend across the world, yet so far it has been given little serious attention and is rarely seen as fashion. Modest Fashion uniquely studies and addresses both the consumers and the producers of modest clothing. It examines the growing number of women who, for reasons of religion, faith or personal preference, decide to cover their bodies and dress in a way that satisfies their spiritual and stylistic requirements. These are women who are making fashionable the art of dressing modestly. Scholars and journalists, fashion designers and bloggers explore the emergence of a niche market for modest fashion and examine how this operates across and between faiths, and in relation to ‘secular’ dressers.256 PAgES 234 x 156mm juNE 20139781780763828 hARDBACk £56.009781780763835 PAPERBACk £15.9930-40 B&W INTEgRATEDDRESS CuLTuRES SERIES

The role of women in politics in the Gulf is a much-debated and often little-understood subject in the West. In Gender and Politics in Kuwait the author sheds new light on the struggle of Kuwaiti women for political participation, examining both the positions women hold in society and politics, and the discourses surrounding feminism and civil rights. He charts the history of women and their contribution to the Kuwaiti state, from independence and the writing of the constitution in the 1960s, through the Iraqi occupation in 1990, to the struggle for the right to vote and stand for election in the twenty-first century. Drawing on the experiences of women in a range of roles in Kuwaiti society, including government, education, employment, civil society and the media, this is a comprehensive examination of gender politics and its impact in the Middle East.304 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780763064 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 130

Since the revolution in 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has permitted few Western scholars to conduct research in the country. Here Julia Huang provides a remarkable account of local tribal life in Iran and depicts a community largely beyond the scope and reach of foreign travellers and the Western media. Huang documents the difficult livelihoods and lifestyles of these mobile Qashqa’i pastoralists and their society and culture, and she explains how this Turkic-speaking group relates to the wider Iranian society and the Islamic Republic. Focusing on a small group of women, she shows us how they adapt to a rapidly changing world while retaining tribal values and a distinctive ethnolinguistic identity as one of Iran’s largest national minorities. 288 PAgES 216 x 134mm juNE 20139781845118327 hARDBACk £59.509781780765389 PAPERBACk £14.9910 IN 8PP COLOuR PLATES, 25 B&W INTEgRATED

The issues of citizenship, identity and cohesion have rarely been as vital as they are today. Since the events of 9/11 and subsequent terrorist episodes in Bali, Madrid, London and elsewhere, focus in this area has centred primarily upon Muslim minority communities living in the West. This book examines the question of citizenship and loyalty, drawing on the historical contexts of Muslim minorities living under British and French imperial rule in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and looks at how shari’a functioned within the context of imperial civil code. It draws important comparisons that are of immense relevance today, and engages with current debates about the compatibility of Islamic law with civil law in non-Islamic societies. Engaging with both Muslim minority and government perspectives, this is important reading for scholars, students, commentators and policy-makers concerned with the question the West’s engagement with its own minorities.256 PAgES 234 x 156mm SEPTEmBER 2012 9781848853881 hARDBACk £56.00

Personal status laws remain a highly politicized area of debate in the Middle East, as the arena in which the contentious issues of women’s rights, religion and minority groups meet. This is especially so when it comes to divorce. Tunisia is often hailed for its progressive personal status code, seen as an exception to the practice in many other Muslim countries where rigid religious doctrine often dictates the making of the law. Polygamy is banned, for example, and in divorce cases there is gender equality. However, Tunisia’s legal system contains many gaps and leaves much room for interpretation. With moderate Islamist party Ennahda winning the first elections following the 2011 revolution, questions of religion in public life have gained greater primacy. Maaike Voorhoeve investigates whether the progressive principles enshrined in Tunisia’s legislation are in fact implemented in divorce cases, or whether judges frequently turn to custom or Sharia as their sources of guidance. 320 PAgES 216 x 134mm AuguST 20139781780765297 hARDBACk £65.003 B&W INTEgRATED

Much of the life and ritual of the Druze in Lebanon appears mysterious to outsiders, as this esoteric sect remains closed to non-members. Lubna Tarabey, herself a member of this secretive community, is ideally placed to offer insight into the family life, tradition and religious practices of the Druze. She reaches back to the 1970s, and the start of a civil war that shattered Lebanon along confessional lines, to explore how the substantial social and political changes that have shaken the country have affected marriage and divorce practices. Through extensive research, she approaches a complex web of change and continuity, of traditional values competing with enhanced individualism and personal freedoms. In Lebanon, family law falls under the authority of its religious courts, and Tarabey traces the ways in which social and legal developments have impacted family law and the internal cohesion of the Druze.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780765624 hARDBACk £59.502 B&W INTEgRATEDLIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES

The meanings and contexts of Shari’a are the subject of both curiosity and misunderstanding by non-Muslims. This groundbreaking book shows that Shari’a and its ‘fiqh’ (laws set forward by various Islamic legal schools) comprise a far more nuanced matrix of interpretations than is often assumed to be the case. Far from being monolithic or impervious to change from without, Muslim legal tradition has – since its beginnings in the early Islamic period – placed an emphasis on equity and non-adversarial conflict-resolution. Mohamed Keshavjee examines both Sunni and Shi’a applications of Islamic law, demonstrating how political, cultural and other factors have influenced the practice of fiqh and Shari’a in the West. Exploring in particular the modern development of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), the author shows that this process can revitalise some of the essential principles that underlie Muslim teachings and jurisprudence, delivering not only formal remedies but also perceived justice.288 PAgES 234 x 156mm APRIL 20139781848857322 hARDBACk £56.50

This book introduces students to the theoretical and philosophical foundations of Islamic contractual law. Islamic law is applied in differing degrees by many countries across the world and especially in the Middle East. Considering the strategic and financial importance of these countries, taken as a whole, it is surprising how little academic writing exists in the west on either Islamic law or Middle Eastern law. Recently there have been signs of a burgeoning interest in Middle Eastern law. However, traditional Islamic law remains a neglected area of study. Hussein Hassan makes a significant contribution by presenting a detailed survey (which utilises both contemporary and classical sources) of a crucially important area of Islamic law – contract law – and by adopting an approach that gives priority to theory and to a comparative analysis with Anglo-American law theory. 208 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANuARy 20139781850439295 hARDBACk £45.00LIBRARy OF ISLAmIC LAW, VOL. 1

Many existing introductions to Islam focus predominantly on the Middle East and on historical background at the expense of Islam as a lived faith. Assessing Islam as a truly global phenomenon, Catharina Raudvere engages thoroughly with history (explaining the significance of the revelation of the Prophet Muhammad and the origins of the different Sunni and Shi’a groups within Islam), while also giving full and comprehensive coverage to Muslim ritual life and Islamic ethics. She discusses moral debates and modern lifestyle issues such as halal consumption, interfaith dialogue and controversy over the wearing of the veil. Diaspora communities are considered with a view to showing how norms and doctrines are understood – and sometimes contradicted – in social and ritual practice. 304 PAgES 216 x 134mm AuguST 20139781848850835 hARDBACk £54.509781848850842 PAPERBACk £14.9920 INTEgRATED B&W, 3 mAPSI.B.TAuRIS INTRODuCTIONS TO RELIgION

This is an era when the Islamic World is making a range of attempts to redefine itself and to grapple with the challenges of modernity. Many schools of thought have emerged which seek to position modern Islam within the context of a rapidly changing contemporary world. Exploring and defining the relationship between religion and knowledge, Ismail Rafi Al-Faruqi, a distinguished 20th century Arab-American scholar of Islam, formulated ideas which have made substantial contributions to the Islam-and-modernity discourse. His review of the interaction between Islam and knowledge examines the philosophy behind this relationship, and the ways in which Islam can relate to our understanding of science, the arts, architecture, technology and other knowledge-based fields of enquiry. This book includes contributions from Seyyed Hossein Nasr, John Esposito, Charles Fletcher and others, and will prove an essential reference point for scholars of Islam and students of philosophy and comparative religion.368 PAgES 234 x 156mm AuguST 20129781780760681 hARDBACk £49.50

Sufism has not only survived into the twenty-first century but has experienced a significant resurgence throughout the Muslim world. Sufism and the ‘Modern’ in Islam offers refreshing new perspectives on this phenomenon, demonstrating surprising connections between Sufism and Muslim reformist currents, and the vital presence of Sufi ideas and practices in all spheres of life. Contrary to earlier theories of the modernization of Muslim societies, Sufi influence on the political, economic and intellectual life of contemporary Muslim societies has been considerable. Although less noticed than the resurgence of radical Islam, Sufi orders and related movements involve considerably larger numbers of followers, even among the modern urban middle classes. This innovative study brings together new comparative and interdisciplinary research to show how Sufis have responded to modernization and globalization and how various currents of Islamic reform and Sufism have interacted. 384 PAgES 234 x 156mm DECEmBER 20129781780763798 PAPERBACk £16.99


Babism and its offshoot Baha’ism first evolved from mainstream Islam in 19th century Iran, in the face of fierce opposition from the Islamic clergy. Baha’ism has continued to expand, spreading out of Iran and across the globe, yet little is known in the West about the codes prescribed by the Bab and revised by Baha’Allah. This comprehensive account of the religious rituals and practices of Babism and Baha’ism provides detailed descriptions of prayer, pilgrimage, the use of talismen, ritual purity, birth, marriage and death, festivals and fasting. Including translations of key passages from Arabic and Persian texts, Denis MacEoin presents the complex textual and historical tradition of Babism and Bahai’sm, making this book a valuable resource for comparative religion, Islamic and Iranian studies.208 PAgES 234 x 156mm NOVEmBER 20129781780764283 PAPERBACk £25.00

The subject of Islam increasingly attracts global attention. This is to the degree that Middle Eastern commentators sometimes seem to assume that the region, despite well-known Shia-Sunni distinctions, is almost homogeneously Muslim. But non-Muslim communities have, for many centuries, played a vital and significant role in the area’s rich religious and cultural fabric, and deserve proper assessment in their own right. This timely book offers a lively and comprehensive survey of all the religious communities, other than the Muslim majorities, who inhabit the Middle East today. Separate chapters discuss the history and beliefs of the Alevis, Baha’i, Christians, Druze, Jews, Mandaeans, Samaritans, Yezidis and Zoroastrians, highlighting the unique identity and fascinating character of each tradition. Scholars of international repute explore the current position of these communities, and their relationships to their neighbours. 304 PAgES 216 x 134mm APRIL 20139781848851351 hARDBACk £54.501 mAP

The contemporary world is increasingly regarded as a global community in which traditional patterns of social organisation, faith and practice are rapidly being transformed. These changes are evident in many religious traditions, and Shi’i Islam is no exception. This book seeks to investigate the nature of contemporary Shi’ism, focusing on the creation of identities – showing the diversity of thought within the Shi’i world, the transnational nature of Shi’i networks, and the forces of tradition and modernity influencing current developments in Shi’i identity. Increasing contacts between East and West have made the presence of Shi’ism more visible in the modern world, especially in Europe. Shi’i Islam and Identity shows that it is no longer sufficient to speak of a ‘Shi’i Crescent’; rather, Shi’i worlds range from Senegal, Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq, to Turkey, Albania and European capitals such as London and Berlin.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm OCTOBER 20129781848856493 hARDABCk £56.50LIBRARy OF mODERN RELIgION, VOL. 25

Sufism is Islam’s principal mystical tradition. To its followers it provides the inner, esoteric or purely spiritual dimension of the faith. It is a centuries-old path to spirituality with devotees throughout the Islamic world, fundamentally influencing Muslim belief. To non-Muslim observers it remains exotic, mysterious and little-understood. Mystical Islam is an accessible introduction that encompasses the history of the Sufi spiritual tradition, ranging from the great Mughal and Safavid empires of India and Persia to the Whirling Dervishes of Ottoman Turkey. Julian Baldick reveals the continuing relevance of the Sufi spiritual experience and introduces some of the great figures of Sufism: al-Ghazali, Ibn Arabi, Hafiz of Shiraz and Rumi. It is the writings of such masters that reveal the inner beauty of Sufism, while offering followers the most profound insights in their quest for delivery from the narrow confines of the material world. 224 PAgES 198 x 126mm AuguST 20129781780762319 PAPERBACk £12.99

An Introduction to SufismJulian Baldick

The vision of Time in the Qur’an is that of a divine gift created for the benefit of humankind. Night and day, and the twelve lunar months of the year, are ‘appointed times for the believing people’. Reading the sky for the prayers of the hour has thus for Muslims been a constant reminder of God’s providence and power. In her absorbing and illuminating new book, the late Barbara Stowasser examines the various ways in which Islam has structured, ordered and measured Time. Drawing on examples from Judaism and Christianity, as well as the ancient world, the author shows that while systems of time facilitate the orderly function of vastly different civilizations, in Islam they have always been fundamental. Among other topics, she discusses the Muslim lunar calendar; the rise of the science of astronomy; the remarkable career of al-Biruni, greatest authority in Muslim perceptions of Time; and the impact of technologies like the astrolabe, Indian numerals and paper. 192 PAgES 216 x 134mm SEPTEmBER 20139781780765426 hARDBACk £56.00

Christian-Muslim dialogue grows increasingly important, but little is known about individual Muslim dialogical thinkers. Born in Palestine in 1921, Isma‘il al-Faruqi was a leading figure in the development of conversation and debate across faiths in North America in the second half of the twentieth century, and was actively engaged in inter-faith study and dialogue. Here, Charles Fletcher presents an illuminating study of the life and thought of this important scholar. Tracing the development of al-Faruqi’s ideas and practice of inter-faith dialogue, Fletcher also shows how Muslim intellectuals engaged in such attempts viewed their role as representatives of the worldwide Muslim community. With perceptive insights into the history of contemporary Muslim-Christian dialogue, this book will be invaluable for all those interested in inter-faith relations, comparative religious studies, North American Muslims and Islamic studies.384 PAgES 216 x 134mm juNE 20139781848855090 hARDBACk £59.50

The figure of the Shaman has always been a prominent motif within the Islamic world, particularly in relation to the mystical domain of Sufism. This new book explores the link between Islam and shamanism in contemporary Muslim culture, examining how the old religion of shamanism was ‘sufised’ in order to adapt to wider Islamic society. The authors survey shamanic practices in the Turko-Persian area, the Balkans and North Africa, to show how the Muslim shaman, like his Siberian counterpart, cultivates personal relations with spirits to help individuals through healing and divination. They explore the complexities and variety of rituals, involving music, dance and, in some regions, epic and bardic poetry, which demonstrates the close links between shamanism and Islamic arts. This is the first in-depth exploration of ‘Islamised shamanism’, and is a valuable contribution to the field of Islamic Studies, Religion, and Anthropology.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 2013 9781848856028 hARDBACk £59.5040 INTEgRATED B&W

The teachings and style of the Qur’an have always been matters of controversy, among both Muslims and non-Muslims. But in a modern context of intercultural sensitivity, what the Qur’an says and means are perhaps more urgent questions than ever before. This major new book by one of the world’s finest Islamic scholars responds to that urgency. The author challenges misinterpretations of particular Qur’anic suras (sections) from whatever quarter. He addresses the infamous ‘sword’ verse, frequently cited as a justification for jihad. He also questions the ‘tribute’ verse, associated with the Muslim state subjugating Jews and Christians; and the idea of Paradise in the Qur’an, often viewed by the West as emphasising merely physical pleasures, or used by Islamic fighters as their just reward for holy war. The author argues that wrenching the suras out of the context of the whole has led to dangerous ideologies being built on isolated phrases which have then assumed afterlives of their own. 288 PAgES 228 x 155mm juNE 20139781780763651 hARDBACk £29.99

IBN haJarmakers of Islamic Civilizationr. kevin JaquesIndiana university

When he died in February 1449, Ibn Hajar (1372-1449) ended a life of surprising contradictions. Who was the boy who rose from obscurity to become one of Egypt’s most celebrated thinkers and prolific scholars of hadith, and who occupied the most powerful judicial position in the Empire? R. Kevin Jaques describes the formative events in Ibn Hajar’s life, from the early death of his parents to his preoccupations as student, teacher and author; his marriages; his survival of plague, civil war and foreign invasion; and his strategies for surviving and negotiating the fevered politics of the late Mamluk period. Discussing the most widely read of his subject’s works, the author explains how Ibn Hajar creatively drew together the theories of preceding centuries of Islamic scholarship in order to develop a political and theological solution to the problems of his own time – one that has guaranteed his fame as an enduring and still inspiring spiritual authority.168 PAgES 216 x 134mm SEPTEmBER 20129781848851863 PAPERBACk £10.99mAkERS OF ISLAmIC CIVILISATION

TaBarI

makers of Islamic Civilizationulrika Martensson, Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Medieval historian al-Tabari (c. 828-923 CE) was a brilliant scholar of ‘Abbasid Baghdad who wrote extensively in all fields of the Islamic science of his day: historiography, scriptural interpretation and jurisprudence. His massive History of the Messengers and Kings is the primary source for the information that we have about Sasanian Persia and the first three centuries of Islam. As well as being a historical record of outstanding importance, it is also of the greatest interest for what is says about the principles of good Islamic governance. In a concise overview of his life, thought and major writings, Ulrika Martensson explores the philosophy and methodology that underpin Tabari’s thinking, and places his work in the context of the complex – and sometimes administratively heterogeneous – society that comprised the ‘Abbasid Caliphate. 184 PAgES 216 x 134mm SEPTEmBER 2012978 1 84885 185 6 PAPERBACk £10.99mAkERS OF ISLAmIC CIVILIZATION

makers of Islamic Civilizationannemarie SchimmelHarvard University

Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273) can only be described through superlatives. For Rumi is the best known and arguably the greatest exponent of the mystical tradition in Islam. The Masnavi, Rumi’s longest and most fully realised poetic work remains, in the eastern lands of Islam, the most extensively read and revered text after the Qur’an. Perhaps more surprisingly, at least to those still unfamiliar with his writings, Rumi is also often cited as the most widely read poet today in the United States. The richness of his language, and his penetrating spiritual insights about the divine, mean that Rumi has an enduring capacity to transport readers from within any culture, Islamic or otherwise. Annemarie Schimmel was for many years one of Rumi’s most sensitive Western interpreters. Her masterfully concise and readable book – now published for the first time in English – discusses the religious and cultural background of Rumi’s Sufism and the dominant strands of his imagery. 150 PAgES 216 x 134mm DECEmBER 20129781848854970 PAPERBACk £10.99mAkERS OF ISLAmIC CIVILIZATION

PearlS of PerSIa

The Philosophical Poetry of Nasir-i khusrawalice c. hunsberger (ed.), Hunter College, City University of New York

- .

Nasir-i Khusraw is a major literary figure in medieval Persian culture. He was a Muslim philosopher, poet, travel writer and Ismaili da‘i who lived a thousand years ago in the regions known today as Afghanistan, Iran and Tajikistan. Although known in the West mainly for his Safar-nama, or travelogue, which describes his seven-year journey from Khurasan in the east to Cairo, the city of the Fatimid imam-caliphs, his poetry and ideas are less familiar. Yet, over the centuries, the Persian-speaking lands have consistently ranked him as one of the finest poets of all time. But today, even among those who know Nasir-i Khusraw’s poetry, few understand the concepts, philosophical and Ismaili, the poet expounds. And while mystical and epic genres of Persian poetry are studied, the genre of philosophical poetry in Persian remains mostly unexplored. This collection of articles seeks to redress the balance. 256 PAgES 216 x 134mm DECEmBER 20129781780761305 hARDBACk £25.00I.B.TAuRIS IN ASSOCIATION WITh ThE INSTITuTE OF ISmAILI STuDIES

- -The reign of the Fatimid imam-caliph al-Mu‘izz li-Din Allah (341-365/953-975) marked a watershed in the transformation of the Fatimid state from a North African regional power to a Mediterranean empire. This work provides the first annotated English translation of the comprehensive account of the life and times of al-Mu‘izz as recorded by Idris ‘Imad al-Din (d. 872/1468) in his monumental historical opus, the ‘Uyun al-akhbar wa-funun al-athar (Sound Sources and Trustworthy Traditions), the only surviving medieval Ismaili history of the Fatimid dynasty. The translation is accompanied by an extensive introduction outlining the salient features of the reign of this seminal imam-caliph. It also explores Idris’ purpose and approach to historical writing in relation to medieval Islamic historiography, especially that of his erudite Egyptian counterpart, the Mamluk historian, Taqi al-Din al-Maqrizi (d. 845/1442). 256 PAgES 216 x 134mm APRIL 20139781780765280 hARDBACk £29.50ISmAILI TExTS AND TRANSLATIONS SERIESI.B.TAuRIS IN ASSOCIATION WITh ThE INSTITuTE OF ISmAILI STuDIES

From the School of Illumination to Philosophical mysticismS.h. Nasr, George Washington University & M. aminrazavi, University of Mary Washington (eds)

The fourth volume of An Anthology of Philosophy in Persia deals with one of the richest and yet least known periods of philosophical life in Persia, the centuries between the seventh/thirteenth century which saw the eclipse of the school of Khorasan and the tenth/sixteenth century which coincided with the rise of the Safavids. The main schools dealt with in this volume are the Peripatetic (mashsha’i) School, the School of Illumination (ishraq) of Suhrawardi, and various forms of philosophical Sufism, especially the school of Ibn ‘Arabi, which had its origins in the works of Ghazzali and ‘Ayn al-Qudat Hamadani. This period was also notable for the philosopher-scientists such as Nasir al-Din Tusi and Qutb al-Din Shirazi. 424 PAgES 234 x 156mm OCTOBER 20129781848857490 hARDBACk £39.50I.B.TAuRIS IN ASSOCIATION WITh ThE INSTITuTE OF ISmAILI STuDIES

A series of articles proceeding from the colloquium held at The Institute of Ismaili Studies in September 2010 on the current state of Shi‘i studies, the volume aims to examine the state of the field, methodological issues, tools and problems of sources in the study of Shi‘i Islam and Islam in general, exploring ways in which they can be utilised for further development. This much needed contribution promises to fill a major gap in the field and will be a fascinating and vital read for scholars and students alike.Each of the eight sections, all devoted to a particular aspect of the study of Shi‘i Islam, begins with an introduction examining issues of methodology and recent developments in that particular area and is followed by two to four case studies. Contributors include Nader El-Bizri, Sajjad Rizvi, Etan Kohlberg, Sabine Schmidtke, Farhad Daftary, Wilferd Madelung, Mohammad Ali Amir-Moezzi and Andrew Newman.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm mARCh 20139781780765068 hARDBACk £29.50ShI‘I hERITAgE SERIESI.B.TAuRIS IN ASSOCIATION WITh ThE INSTITuTE OF ISmAILI STuDIES

The tradition of philosophy in the Persian-speaking world is extraordinarily rich, creative and diverse. This anthology, which is divided into five volumes, aims to communicate something of that richness and diversity. The term ‘philosophy’ is understood in its widest sense to include theological debate, philosophical Sufism and philosophical hermeneutics (ta’wil). Extending over a period of more than two millennia, and showcasing translations by well-established scholars, the anthology offers complete bibliographical references throughout. For anyone interested in exploring the fascinating philosophical traditions of Persia, in all their varied manifestations, such a wide-ranging and ambitious work will be an indispensable resource.

The MaSTer aND The DIScIPle

An Early Islamic Spiritual DialogueJames Morris (ed, & Trans.), Boston College

This volume includes a fully annotated translation and Arabic critical edition of one of the earliest surviving Ismaili Shi‘i writings, by the famous 10th-century 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 uniquely important as the most elaborate example of the narrated dramatic dialogue form in Arabic literature. The work also vividly 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. Finally, Ja‘far’s reputation as a master of ta’wil (esoteric understanding of the Qu’ran) is reflected in the complex integration and existential elaboration of Qur’anic themes illustrated throughout this dialogue – a distinctive feature which makes this book of wider interest to students of Islamic Studies and comparative religions.464 PAgES 216 x 134mm OCTOBER 20129781780764269 PAPERBACk £25.00ISmAILI TExTS AND TRANSLATIONS SERIESI.B.TAuRIS IN ASSOCIATION WITh ThE INSTITuTE OF ISmAILI STuDIES

ShI‘ISM aND BeYoND

‘Alid Piety in muslim Southeast Asia chiara formichi, City University of Hong Kong & r. Michael feener, National University of Singapore (eds)

This is the first ever attempt at a comprehensive discussion of Shi‘ism and related religious and cultural phenomena in Southeast Asia, a problematic and elusive subject in regional Islamic studies which remains virtually unexplored by scholars. Based on the papers of a conference on ‘Alid piety in Southeast Asia, the central idea of the study – the interface between ‘Alid piety and Shi‘ism proper – is explored by a variety of scholars examining different facets of this cultural expression in the context of Islam in Southeast Asia over seven hundred years of its history. This interdisciplinary study familiarises the reader with a wealth of completely new or barely studied primary sources on the topic under examination: historical, genealogical, religious, literary and theatrical. A serious and timely contribution, this book will be of particular interest to specialists in Islamic and Southeast Asian studies as well as students and a broader audience of readers who are interested in the spiritual culture of the East.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm APRIL 20139781780765075 hARDBACk £29.50ShI‘I hERITAgE SERIES

Since the early 1930s, researchers have shed light on the textual production of the Ismailis. The cataloguing of these works has been carried out by Ivanow, Fyzee, Goriawala, Poonawala, Gacek, Cortese and de Blois. Many works attributed to Ismaili scholars, however, are still unavailable, either because they remain hidden in private collections, or because they have not survived. As regards Ismaili law, in particular, it is still a largely unexplored field of study. Al-Qadi Abu Hanifa al-Nu‘man is generally considered to be the founder and the greatest exponent of Ismaili jurisprudence. Many of his works have been lost; scattered information on some others is found here and there; some works are still in manuscript form; few others have been published. Based on the three known copies, this book is a critical edition and translation of al-Nu‘man’s Minhaj al-fara’id, which deals with the law of inheritance, one of the most difficult aspects of Islamic law.256 PAgES 216 x 134mm NOVEmBER 20129781780761299 hARDBACk £29.50ISmAILI TExTS AND TRANSLATION SERIESI.B.TAuRIS IN ASSOCIATION WITh ThE INSTITuTE OF ISmAILI STuDIES

The Sirat al-Ustadh Jawdhar, edited and translated here as Inside the Immaculate Portal, was written during the time of al-Mu‘izz’s successor al-‘Aziz bi-llah (r. 365-386/975-996). It is divided into two parts. The first part contains an account of the life and career of Jawdhar, from his entering the service of the Fatimids under al-Mahdi to his death sixty years later during the reign of al-Mu‘izz. The biography is interspersed with some sermons and correspondence of the imams with Jawdhar on a variety of subjects, both personal and political. The second part is largely a documentary collection of 86 letters, directives, recorded conversations and letters of the Fatimid caliph-imams addressed to Jawdhar. Altogether, this publication provides a unique insight into the private world and political ethos of one of the major Muslim dynasties of the medieval era. 424 PAgES 216 x 134mm FEBRuARy 20129781780762685 hARDBACk £29.50I.B.TAuRIS IN ASSOCIATION WITh ThE INSTITuTE OF ISmAILI STuDIES

While the cinema of post-revolutionary Iran is internationally acknowledged, the world outside Iran has been ignorant of the Iranian war films that are the subject of this pioneering book. A massive production of over 50 Iranian feature films concentrating primarily on fighting and military operations have appeared since the 1980s with the beginning of the war between Iran and Iraq. This book presents a detailed exploration of the Sacred Defence Cinema, established by Seyed Morteza Avini, a cinema that directly connects this specific war to the faith and religious belief of volunteer guardians of the revolution. The main objective of Sacred Defence Cinema is martyrdom. 256 PAgES 234 x 156mm juNE 20139781848852853 hARDBACk £54.50I.B.TAuRIS IN ASSOCIATION WITh ThE IRAN hERITAgE FOuNDATION

The Nabataean Arabs, one of the most gifted peoples of the ancient world, are today known only for their hauntingly beautiful rock-carved capital – Petra, a magnificent city carved out of the mountains. Yet they were famous in their day – Herod the Great and his sons, and a kaleidoscope of Roman emperors and generals were keenly aware of this powerful and wealthy trading kingdom. The Nabataeans became inspired patrons of the arts, creating some of the most sublime and perfectly individual architecture of the time, not only at Petra, but over much of the Middle East. This richly illustrated book recounts the story of a remarkable but lost civilisation. It tells of their nomadic origins, the development of their rich culture in Jordan, Syria, Arabia, Sinai and the Negev, their relations with their more famous neighbours and the demise of their kingdom at the hands of the Romans.224 PAgES 255x215mm SEPTEmBER 20129781848850200 PAPERBACk £17.99120 FuLL COLOuR ILLuSTRATIONS

From Timur’s tent in Samarqand to Shah ‘Abbas’s palace in Isfahan and Humayun’s tomb in Delhi, the pavilion has been an integral part of Persianate gardens since its earliest appearance at the Achaemenid garden in Pasargadae in the sixth century BC. Despite its significance, the pavilion has often been neglected in the study of gardens and the cultural contexts of its development. This is a gap that Mohammad Gharipour seeks to address, emphasizing pavilions as vibrant and dynamic parts of Persian gardens. Using textual and visual media not only clarifies the significance of gardens and pavilions as cultural icons, but also explains their typological diversity and their spatial, formal, and functional qualities. This book reaches back through Persia’s rich history to explore the material and psychological relationships between human beings, pavilions and gardens, the impact of gardens on political, cultural and social affairs.320 PAgES 246 x 189mm FEBRuARy 20139781780761213 hARDABCk £56.00

Aesthetics, Politics and Desire in Early IslamMohammed hamdouni alami, University of California, Berkeley

What is ‘art’ in the sense of the Islamic tradition? Mohammed Hamdouni Alami argues that Islamic art has historically been excluded from Western notions of art; that the Western aesthetic tradition’s preoccupation with the human body has meant that Islamic and Western art being perceived as inherently at odds. However, the move away from this ‘anthropomorphic aesthetic’ in Western art movements, such as modern abstract and constructivist painting, have presented the opportunity for new ways of viewing and evaluating Islamic art and architecture. Drawing upon classical Arabic literature, philosophy, poetry, medicine and theology, along with contemporary Western art theory, the author uncovers a specific Islamic theoretical vision of art and architecture based on poetic practice, politics, desire and the ‘gaze’. 304 PAgES 216 x 134mm jANuARy 20139781780765617 PAPERBACk £16.9930 INTEgRATED B&W, 16PP COLOuR PLATES

Between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries, the Deccan stood at the crossroads of far-reaching commercial and diplomatic networks. It ranged from Arabia and Iran to East Asia and, increasingly, fell within the orbit of European colonial expansion. This resulted in an immensely rich visual culture in the region, shaped further by the dynamic encounters between the different versions of Islam patronized by the ruling dynasties of the period, and diverse local linguistic, religious and artistic traditions. This new book is the first richly illustrated and comprehensive exploration of the art of the late medieval and early modern Deccan. It explores the ways in which court art, artefacts and built environments were created and experienced, the reasons behind their creation, and the other agencies involved besides and beyond the court. This will be an invaluable resource for all interested in the visual culture of the Islamic world. 360 PAgES 234 x 156mm DECEmBER 20129781848857469 hARDBACk £65.00LIBRARy OF SOuTh ASIAN hISTORy AND CuLTuRE, VOL. 232PP COLOuR PLATES, 85 B&W INTEgRATED

As the tide of globalization grows in sway and influence, are the built environments of the world’s cities at risk of homogenization? Here, leading scholars evaluate the challenges of architecture and urban planning in Muslim societies, investigating the signs of the homogenizing processes within urban spaces. The book argues that homogenization risks limiting – even denying – transformations in Muslim societies beyond narrow dichotomies of modernism versus tradition. The possibility that representations of modernity in cities around the world will create an extensive uniformity in urban planning and the ways in which people live in different societies is arousing considerable criticism and debate. The book identifies the factors which have generated homogenization, and explores the interrelationship between social issues, the public sphere and the urban environment, and also considers where there have been movements towards differentiation, resistance and heterogenization. 208 PAgES 260 x 185mm SEPTEmBER 20129781848856257 PAPERBACk £24.5040 B&W INTEgRATED

From the ancient Egyptian Tale of a Shipwrecked Sailor through to Sinbad and Robinson Crusoe, the stranded castaway living and philosophising alone on a strange, desert island is a theme which has captured the imaginations of writers spanning cultures and millennia. Most familiar to Western literary historians is Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, which inspired generations of writers from William Golding to J.M.Coetzee. However, little attention has been paid to Defoe’s antecedents, such as the remarkable Hayy Bin Yaqzan by twelfth-century Arab physician and philosopher, Muhammad Ibn Tufayl. Mahmoud Baroud here conducts a detailed comparative textual analysis of Hayy Bin Yaqzan and Robinson Crusoe, and concludes that Daniel Defoe was likely to have been deeply influenced by Ibn Tufayl’s Arabic text. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of comparative literature, along with medieval Arabic literature, culture and philosophy.320 PAgES 216 x 134mm AuguST 20129781848855526 hARDBACk £59.50LIBRARy OF mODERN mIDDLE EAST STuDIES, VOL. 117

From Cairo to Damascus and from Tunisia to Bahrain, Layla Al-Zubaidi and Matthew Cassel have brought together some of the most exciting new writing born out of revolution in the Arab world. This is a remarkable collection of testimony, entirely composed by participants in, and witnesses to, the profound changes shaking their region. Situated between past, present and future – in a space where the personal and the political collide – these voices are part of an ongoing process, one that is at once hopeful and heartbreaking. Unique amongst material emanating from and about the convulsions in the Arab Middle East, these creative and original writers speak of history, determination and struggle, as well as of political and poetic engagement with questions of identity and activism. This book gives a moving and inspiring insight into the Arab revolutions and uprisings: why they are happening and what might come next. 304 PAgES 216 x 135mm mAy 20139781780765402 PAPERBACk £12.99

Hafiz of Shiraz has long been celebrated by many as the greatest Persian poet within the annals of world literature. During the fourteenth century he was master of the Persian ‘ghazal’ – the pre-eminent genre of love poetry in the Iranian world in its day and which, in the hands of Hafiz, reached the pinnacle of its development and refinement. Dominic Brookshaw here places Hafiz into a broader literary context by comparing his poetry with his two most important contemporaries: ‘Ubayd-i Zakani and the poet-princess, Jahan-Malik Khatun, whose ‘ghazals’ have received insufficient scholarly attention to date. Brookshaw presents here for the first time many previously untranslated ‘ghazals’. This detailed comparison enables a truer picture of the distinct and innovative nature of Hafiz’s poetry to emerge.288 PAgES 234 x 156mm mARCh 20139781848851443 hARDBACk £56.50BRITISh INSTITuTE OF PERSIAN STuDIES, VOL. 3

These three volumes represent some of the most important historical sources for medieval Islamic scholarship. Yet the Persian of the original texts is often extremely difficult, even for accomplished scholars. Distinguished linguist and orientalist Wheeler Thackston, here provides lucid, annotated translations that make this key material accessible to a wide range of scholars. Mirzar Haydar’s ‘Tarikh- i – Rashidi’ provides a history of the of the Khans of Moghulistan, the vast stretch of territory between the ancient cities of Central Asia and Mongolia. Khwandamir’s ‘The Reign of the Mongol and the Turk’, covers the major empires and dynasties of the Persianate world from the 13th to the 16th century, including the conquests of the Mongols, Tamerlane, and the rise of the Safavids. The final volume, written by the grand vizier of the Mongol rulers of Iran, includes a valuable survey of the Turkic and Mongolian peoples, a history of Genghis Khan’s ancestors, and a detailed account of his conquests.328, 328, 400 PAgES 279x216mm AuguST 20129781780760544 hARDBACk £350.003 VOL SET

Iran’s rich cultural heritage has been shaped over many centuries by its rich and eventful history. This impressive book, which assembles contributions by some of the world’s most eminent historians, art historians and other scholars of the Iranian world, explores the history of the country through the prism of Persian literature, art and culture. The result is a seminal work which illuminates important, yet largely neglected, aspects of Medieval and Early Modern Iran and the Middle East. Its scope, from the era of the Shahnameh to the period of the Mongols, Timurids, Safavids, Zands and Qajars, examines the interaction between mythology, history, historiography, poetry, painting and craftwork in the long narrative of the Persianate experience. As such, the book will be essential reading and a reference point for students and scholars of Iranian history, Persian literature and the arts of the Islamic World. 352 PAgES 246 x 189mm juNE 20139781780760155 hARDBACk £65.00

In the spring and summer of 1931, Wyndham Lewis travelled to Morocco. Lewis’s text predates the ascent of Amazigh national consciousness in the late 20th century and his repeated play on the words Berber, Barbary, and barbarism reveals an important element of his attitude toward the Berber people. While avoiding labelling them as primitive, he associates them with strong practices of barbarian rule that at once contrast the enervation of European modernity and suggest a path by which Europe might revive itself. While his tone may be uncomfortable at times, he actually rejects and discredits all the familiar stereotypes of Oriental exoticism – unusual for a book of this period. A riveting snapshot and ethnographic travel account of Morocco in the ‘30s as well as of Europe’s involvement and attitudes towards it.240 PAgES 198 x 126mm mARCh 20139781780763521 PAPERBACk £12.99TAuRIS PARkE PAPERBACkS

An edge city, poised at the northernmost tip of Africa, just nine miles across the Strait of Gibraltar from Europe and overlooking both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, Tangier is more than a destination, it is an escape, and the Interzone, as William Burroughs called it, has attracted spies, outlaws, outcasts and writers for centuries – men and women working out at the edge of literary forms, breaking through artistic borders. This outlaw originality is what most astonishes when encountering the literary history of Tangier for the first time. Particularly in the past century, the results were some of the most incendiary and influential books of our time, the most prominent being Burroughs’ Naked Lunch and Bowles’ The Sheltering Sky. The list of ‘edge’ writers who were drawn to Tangier is long, among them Ibn Battuta, Samuel Pepys, Alexandre Dumas, Mark Twain, Edith Wharton, Walter Harris, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, Joe Orton, and Mohamed Choukri.288 PAgES 198 x 126mm juNE 20139781780762760 hARDBACk £18.998-16 B&W IN 8PP PLATESLITERARy guIDES FOR TRAVELLERS

journeys Across Irancyrus Massoudi

For Cyrus Massoudi, a young British-born Iranian, the country his parents were forced to flee thirty years ago was a place wholly unknown to him. Wanting to make sense of his roots and piece together the divided, divisive and deeply contradictory puzzle that is contemporary Iran, he embarked on a series of journeys that spanned hundreds of miles and thousands of years. Rich portrayals of Sufis and ageing aristocrats, smugglers and underground rock bands are all woven together with history, religion and mythology to form a unique portrait of contemporary Iranian society. And, running through the heart of the narrative, lies Massoudi’s poignant personal quest; his struggle echoing that of Iran itself, as it fights to forge a cohesive modern identity. Land of the Turquoise Mountains reveals a world beyond the propaganda-driven, media-fuelled image of fractious, flag-burning fundamentalism and provides a compelling glimpse into the heart of a deeply misunderstood nation.288 PAgES 216 x 134mm APRIL 20139781848856370 hARDBACk £17.9916 COLOuR IN 8PP PLATES, 1 mAP

From Empire to Orient offers an alternative perspective on Britain’s late imperial period by looking at the lives and the writings of the men who chose to defy the conventional social and political attitudes of the British ruling classes towards the Near East. Between the Greek revolt in 1830 and the fall of the Caliphate in 1924, a different kind of voice was heard that was both anti-Imperialist and pro-Islamic. Geoffrey Nash places David Urquhart’s passionate belief in the ideal of municipal government in Turkey, W.S. Blunt’s enthusiasm for the Egyptian reformers of the Azhar, E.G. Browne’s zeal for the Persian revolution and Marmaduke Pickthall’s pained advocacy of the cause of the Young Turks into their political and historical context and into the context of their writings. Through the lives and writings of these men who identified so passionately with the Islamic world, Nash offers a fascinating perspective on Britain’s late imperial period.264 PAgES 234 x 156mm NOVEmBER 20129781780764078 PAPERBACk £25.00

Morocco has long been a mythical land, firmly rooted in the European colonial imagination. For more than a century it has been appropriated by travellers, explorers, writers and artists. It is just these images and imaginings that are now being reconstructed for nostalgic consumption. In Moroccan Dreams, Claudio Minca examines this aestheticised re-enactment of the colonial, exploring the ways in which Moroccans themselves have become complicit in the re-writing of their homes and lives. Richly illustrated, the book provides a fascinating journey that will engage and delight all those enamoured of Morocco and its extraordinary geographies.256 PAgES 234 x 1256mm juNE 20139781848850156 hARDBACk £19.5020 ILLuSTRATIONS

Ibn Battuta was, without doubt, one of the world’s truly great travellers. Born in fourteenth-century Morocco, and a contemporary of Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta has left us an account in his own words of his remarkable journeys throughout the Islamic world and beyond. Carefully observing the great diversity of civilizations which he encountered, Ibn Battuta exhibits an omnivorous interest in such matters as food and drink, religious differences (between Christians, Hindus and Shi’a Muslims), ideas about purity and impurity, disease, women and sex. Recounting the many miracles which its author claims to have experienced personally, his al-rihla or ‘Travelogue’ is a fascinating mosaic of mysticism and reportage offering a prototype magic realism. David Waines discusses the subtleties of the al-rihla, revealing all the wonders of Ibn Battuta’s world to the modern reader. This is a gripping treatment of the life and times of one of history’s most daring discoverers.240 PAgES 228x155mm AuguST 20129781845118051 hARDBACk £25.009781780763606 PAPERBACk £14.99ILLuSTRATED

uncommon Tales of a medieval AdventurerDavid Waines, Lancaster University

The extraordinary life of Gertrude Bell was marked by myriad achievements. Although best known for her intrepid desert travels and her part in the creation of the modern state of Iraq, she also made a significant contribution to the field of archaeology. At the height of her career, Bell journeyed into the heart of the Middle East retracing the steps of the ancient rulers who left tangible markers of their presence in the form of castles, palaces, mosques, tombs and temples. Among the many sites she visited were Ephesus, Binbirkilise and Carchemish in modern-day Turkey as well as Ukhaidir, Babylon and Najaf within the borders of modern Iraq. Lisa Cooper here explores Bell’s achievements, emphasising the tenacious, inquisitive side of her extraordinary personality, the breadth of her knowledge and her overall contribution to the archaeology of the Middle East.

Marrakech is the heart and lifeblood of Morocco’s ancient storytelling tradition. For nearly a thousand years, storytellers have gathered in the Jemaa el Fna, the legendary square of the city, to recount ancient folktales and fables to rapt audiences. But this unique chain of oral tradition that has passed seamlessly from generation to generation is teetering on the brink of extinction. The competing distractions of television, movies and the internet have drawn the crowds away from the storytellers and few have the desire to learn the stories and continue their legacy. Richard Hamilton has witnessed at first hand the death throes of this rich and captivating tradition and, in the labyrinth of the Marrakech medina, has tracked down the last few remaining storytellers, recording stories that are replete with the mysteries and beauty of the Maghreb.224 PAgES 234 x 156mm jANuARy 20139781848854918 hARDBACk £18.999781780765341 PAPERBACk £12.998PP B&W PLATES

This part-cookbook, part-history book sheds light on the fascinating and delectable story of traditional Arab sweets. Filling the tables of Caliphs and noblemen, these sumptuous desserts of saffron and rose water exemplified the opulence and romance of the time. Bringing together 10th-14th century Arabic texts, the authors retrace the history of these sweet dishes, reviving the original recipes and following their development and influence over the centuries into non-Arabic speaking lands. Honey, dates, figs and pomegranates make for an exquisite selection of mouth-watering desserts for cooks to try at home, woven together with medieval poems and stories. A unique insight into Arabic culinary history, this beautifully illustrated book is a must-have for anyone with a sweet tooth. 272 PAgES 246 x 189mm mAy 20139781780764641 hARDBACk £20.0010 INTEgRATED B&W, 16 COLOuR IN 16PP PLATES
