Over the past decade, the political ground beneath the Middle East has shifted. Arab nationalism the political orthodoxy for most of this century has lost its grip on the imagination and allegiance of a new generation. At the same time, Islam as an ideology has spread across the region, and "Islamists" bid to capture the center of politics. Most Western scholars and experts once hailed the redemptive power of Arabism.

Beginnings of Shi'i Studies in Germany
Rudolf Strothmann (1877-1960) played a pioneering role in the scholarly exploration of Shi'i Islam in Western, especially German, scholarship. Between 1910 & 1923, he published many pathbreaking studies on the Zaydiyya, consulting primarily the recently purchased collections of Yemeni Zaydi manuscripts in Berlin.

Homme de culture et républicain de raison
Issu de la bourgeoisie libérale et cultivée de l'Allemagne de Guillaume II, C. H. Becker (1876-1933) est de ces républicains de raison qui, après l'effondrement de 1918, s'attellent avec pragmatisme à la reconstruction, au service de la solution de fortune qu'est à leurs yeux la première République allemande. Il s'agit ici d'interroger l'attachement de ce « ministre de l'esprit » à la République de Weimar et d'éclairer ainsi le concept de républicain de raison.

Islam in German East Africa, 1885–1918
In this rich and multi-layered deconstruction of German colonial engagement with Islam, Jörg Haustein shows how imperial agents in Germany’s largest colony wielded the knowledge category of Islam in a broad set of debates, ranging from race, language, and education to slavery, law, conflict, and war. These representations of ‘Mohammedanism’, often invoked for particular political ends, amounted to a serious misreading of Muslims in East Africa, with significant long-term effects. As the first in-depth account of the politics of Islam in German East Africa, the book makes an essential contribution to the history of religion in Tanzania before British rule. It also offers a template for re-reading the colonial archive in a manner that recovers Muslim agency beyond a European paradigm of religion.
