Egypt has undergone significant economic

decades of economic reform, the Egyptian economy
still fails to meet popular expectations for inclusive
growth, better standards of living, and high-quality

This book offers a provocative retelling ofPalestinian political history through an examination of
the international commissions that have investigatedpolitical violence and human rights violations. Morethan twenty commissions have been convened overthe last century, yet no significant change has
resulted from these inquiries. The findings of the very
first, the 1919 King-Crane Commission, were
suppressed. The Mitchell Committee, convened in theheat of the Second Intifada, urged Palestinians tolisten more sympathetically to the feelings of theiroccupiers. And factfinders returning from a shellshocked Gaza Strip in 2008 registered their horror at
the scale of the destruction, but Gazans havecontinued to live under a crippling blockade.

15,651Islam is more than a system of rigid doctrines andnormative principles. It is a diverse mosaic ofsubjective, often contradictory interpretations anddiscrepant applications that prohibit a narrow, onedimensional approach. This book argues that touncover this complex reality and achieve a moreaccurate understanding of Islam as a lived religion, it
is imperative to consider Islam from the point of viewof human beings who practice their faith.
Consequently, this book provides an important
contribution through a detailed ethnographic study of
two contemporary Sufi communities.

Jewish-Arab relations -- Arab-Israeli conflict
Nineteenth-century Europe turned the political statusof its Jewish communities into the “Jewish Question,”as both Christianity and rising forms of nationalism
viewed Jews as the ultimate other. With the onset ofZionism, this “question” migrated to Palestine andintensified under British colonial rule and in theaftermath of the Holocaust. Zionism’s attempt tosolve the “Jewish Question” created what came to be
known as the “Arab Question,” which concerned thepresence and rights of the Arab population in
Palestine. For the most part, however, Jewish settlers
denied or dismissed the question they created, to theNAGARA BOOKS -----------------------------------------

With this book, Rosie Bsheer explores theincreasing secularization of the postwar Saudi stateand how it manifested in assembling a nationalarchive and reordering urban space in Riyadh andMecca. The elites' project was rife with ironies: in
Riyadh, they employed world-renowned experts tofashion an imagined history, while at the same time in
Mecca they were overseeing the obliteration of athousand-year-old topography and its replacementwith commercial megaprojects. Archive Wars shows
how the Saudi state's response to the challenges of
the Gulf War served to historicize a national space,territorialize a national history, and ultimately refract
both through new modes of capital accumulation.

Saudi Arabia is generally and justifiably viewed as acountry with some of the fewest democratic
institutions and the weakest traditions of pluralism.
Jorg Matthias Determann brings this element tolight by analysing an important field of culturalactivity in Saudi Arabia: historical writing. Since the1920s local, tribal, Shi'i and dynastic histories havecontributed to a growing plurality of narratives.
Paradoxically, this happened because of the
expansion of the Saudi state, including state provisionof mass education.

When did the Arab-Israeli conflict begin? Some
discussions focus on the 1967 war, some go back to
the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, and others
look to the beginning of the British Mandate in 1922.
Alan Dowty, however, traces the earliest roots of theconflict to the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century,
arguing that this historical approach highlights
constant clashes between religious and ethnic groups
in Palestine.

by judicial intervention. Occupation law has failed tostem Israel's settlement enterprise. Laws of war havepermitted killing and destruction during Israel's

The Arab Spring promised to end dictatorship andbring self-government to people across the Middle
East. Yet everywhere except Tunisia it led to either
renewed dictatorship, civil war, extremist terror, or all
three. In The Arab Winter, Noah Feldman argues that
the Arab Spring was nevertheless not an unmitigated
failure, much less an inevitable one. Rather, it was anoble, tragic series of events in which, for the firsttime in recent Middle Eastern history, Arabic-speaking
peoples took free, collective political action as they
sought to achieve self-determination.

groups, who call for peace for the sake of the security
and continuity of Israel, have become paralysed andalmost voiceless since the second Intifada. However,despite the stagnation around the Israeli-Palestinian
Peace Process, this book argues that other importantgroups have emerged that present new ways tochallenge the status quo.

By 1750, due to anarchy in Iran and problems in
Basra, Muscat became the most important Persian
Gulf port, and very wealthy. This position was further
enhanced by a strong Omani fleet built by the early Al
Bu Sa`id rulers. By 1820, however, the Persian Gulf
ports reasserted themselves and the Pax Britannica
put an end to the use of Omani sea power, andMuscat started to decline. Sultan Sa`id II focused hisenergies on the development of Zanzibar on the
African coast, but by 1868 revenues from Zanzibar
and Bandar Abbas had all been lost.

18,277
What is the nature and social role of women? In
today’s Shi’ism, these questions are often answered
through the “separate-but- equal” ideology whichemphasizes the role of women as wives and mothers,
and places men in authority. But is this the only
ideology which can be derived from Shi’i scriptural
sources? This book takes a more nuanced approach tothat question by exploring how women are portrayedin hadith on ancient sacred narrative – the stories ofthe prophets. It shows far more diverse views on what
it means to be a woman (and, by extension, a man) –and that early Shi’is held competing views about
ideals for women.

Central to these debates are the three key themesthat Mohammad Abed al-Jabri looks at in this book:democracy, human rights and law. Jabri, one of themost influential political philosophers in thecontemporary Middle East, examines how these three
concepts have been applied in the history of the Arabworld, and shows that they are determined bypolitical and social context, not by Islamic doctrine.
Jabri argues that in order to develop democraticsocieties in which human rights are respected, theArab world cannot simply rely on old texts andtraditions.

The history of capitalism in Egypt has long beensynonymous with cotton cultivation and dependent
development. From this perspective, the British
occupation of 1882 merely sealed the country's fate
as a vast plantation for European textile mills. All but
obscured in such accounts, however, is Egypt's
emergence as a colonial laboratory for financial
investment and experimentation. Egypt's Occupation
tells for the first time the story of that financial
expansion and the devastating crises that followed.

This began with the claim of divine sovereignty, thedemand to restore the sharīʿa in modern socie^es. But
prominent theorists of political Islam also advanced
another principle, the Quranic notion that God’s
authority on earth rests not with sultans or withscholars’ interpretation of written law but with theentirety of the Muslim people, the umma. Drawing on
this argument, utopian theorists such as Abū’l-Aʿlā
Mawdūdī and Sayyid Quṭb released into theintellectual bloodstream the doctrine of the caliphate

----------------------------------------------------------------Up to the twentieth century, Islamic charitableendowments provided the material foundation of the
Muslim world. With the fall of the Ottoman Empire
and the imposition of French colonial rule, many ofthese endowments reverted to private property
circulating in the marketplace. In contemporary
Beirut, however, charitable endowments haveresurged as mosques, Islamic centers, and non-profit
organizations. A historical anthropology in dialogue
with Islamic law, God’s Property: Islam, Charity, andthe Modern State demonstrates how theseendowments have been drawn into secular logics—nolonger the property of God but of the Muslim
community—and shaped by the modern state andmodern understandings of charity and property.

In the United Arab Emirates, there is an

Migrant domestic workers within it must solely workfor their employer, secure their approval to leave thecountry, and obtain their consent to terminate a job.
In Unfree, Rhacel Salazar Parreñas examines the laborof women from the Philippines, who represent thelargest domestic workforce in the country. She
challenges presiding ideas about the kafala, arguingthat its reduction to human trafficking is, at best,
unproductive, and at worst damaging to genuine
efforts to regulate this system that impacts tens of
millions of domestic workers across the globe.

authorities utterly failed to control the illicit trade,raising questions about the legitimacy of theirmandatory regimes. The creation of the Israeli state,too, had little effect to curb illicit trade. By the 1960s,
drug trade had become a major point of contention in

Winston S. Churchill, first as Secretary for War andAir, and then as Colonial Secretary, both formulated
and enacted the British imperial mandate policy for
Iraq and Palestine, thereby laying the groundwork for
issues that are still relevant today including conflicts
in Israel and internal political upheavals in Iraq. The
complicated historical intricacies of the postwar
period combined with a variety of personal andpolitical confrontations are at the core of Churchill’s
decisions and finally his parliamentary successes.

Most violent jihadi movements in the twentiethcentury focused on removing corrupt, repressive
secular regimes throughout the Muslim world. But
following the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, a
new form of jihadism emerged—global jihad—turning
to the international arena as the primary locus ofideology and action. With this book, Glenn E.
Robinson develops a compelling and provocativeargument about this violent political movement's
evolution.

In the West, we tend to think of Islamic law as anarcane and rigid legal system, bound by formulaic
texts yet suffused by unfettered discretion. Rosen
analyzes a number of these misperceptions. Drawing
on specific cases, he explores the application ofIslamic law to the treatment of women (who winmost of their cases), the relations between Muslims
and Jews (which frequently involve close personal andfinancial ties), and the structure of widespread
corruption (which played a key role in prompting theArab Spring).

In recent years, Islam – whether via the derivativesof 'Political Islam' or 'Islamism' – has come to be seen
as an 'activist' force in social and political spheresworldwide. What such representations haveneglected is the strong countervailing tradition ofpolitical quietism. Political quietism in Islam holds
that it is not for Muslims to question or oppose theirleaders. Rather, the faithful should concentrate on
their piety, prayer, religious rituals and personal quest
for virtue.
This book is the first to analyze the history andmeaning of political quietism in Islamic societies. It
takes an innovative cross-sectarian approach,
investigating the phenomenon and practice acrossboth Sunni and Shi'i communities.

Turkey; the sectarian clashes in Iraq, Syria, Yemen andLebanon; and the existence of the so-called IslamicState. Islam is often seen as the root cause of thechallenge associated with these cases. But by
unpacking the real issues, such as entrenchedauthoritarianism, vast energy resources, excessive

a new generation of scholars to challenge popular
depictions of the emergence of the modern Middle
East. For them, the region’s borderlands were not justmere sites of peripheral activity, but rather liminal
spaces criss-crossed by global flows and circulations
central to state- and nation-formation across theMiddle East. Regimes of Mobility offers a selectnumber of case studies that highlight theconnectedness of the politics of borderlands

Thompson explores why the British government
adopted Zionism in the early twentieth century,
issuing the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and thenretaining it as the cornerstone of their rule inPalestine after the First World War. Despite evidence
and warnings, over the next two decades Britain
would facilitate the colonisation of Arab Palestine by
Jewish immigrants, ultimately leading to a conflict
which it could not contain. Britain’s response was topropose the partition of an ungovernable land: a‘two-state solution’ which – though endorsed by theUnited Nations after the Second World War – has so
far brought into being neither two states nor asolution.

A City in Fragments tells the modern history of acity overwhelmed by its religious and symbolic
significance. Yair Wallach walked the streets ofJerusalem to consider the graffiti, logos, inscriptions,
official signs, and ephemera that transformed the city
over the late nineteenth and early twentiethcenturies. As these urban texts became a tool in theservice of capitalism, nationalism, and colonialism,
the affinities of Arabic and Hebrew were forgotten
and these sister-languages found themselves locked ina bitter war. Looking at the writing of—and literally
on—Jerusalem, Wallach offers a creative andexpansive history of the city, a fresh take on modern
urban texts, and a new reading of the Israel/Palestine
conflict through its material culture.

More than one million Indians travel annually towork in oil projects in the Gulf, one of the few
international destinations where men without formal
education can find lucrative employment. Between
Dreams and Ghosts follows their migration, taking
readers to sites in India, the United Arab Emirates,
and Kuwait, from villages to oilfields and back again.
Engaging all parties involved—the migrants
themselves, the recruiting agencies that place them,
the government bureaucrats that regulate theiremigration, and the corporations that hire them—
Andrea Wright examines labor migration as a social
process as it reshapes global capitalism.
