Changing Masters
The spirit possession cult of zar tumbura has a devoted following among Muslim descendents of slaves and other subalterns in the Sudan. In Changing Masters, G. P. Makris studies zar tumbura as part of a wider zar complex for what it reveals about shifting ethnic identities in the modern Sudan. More generally, his work exposes the processes subordinate groups use to assert a positive identity that counters the identity conferred upon them by the dominant culture. Makris engages the tumbura devotees of the area of Greater Khartoum in an animated discussion of their understanding of themselves and their world. Using oral histories, songs associated with the various spirits, and accounts of ceremonies he witnessed, he shows tumbura to be a response to victimization first in slavery and later by subordination. It functions as a counterdiscourse challenging the dominant discourse of the ex-slaveholding classes and enables its practitioners to assert a separate, alternative identity. This assertion, embodied in the idiom of possession, is achieved through a continuous reworking of meaning as it is imparted by religion, descent, and historical consciousness.

The Opening (Al-Fatiha)
The principles of Islamic faith are not some abstract ideas. They are vital values to be known, reflected upon, believed and internalized, and with which one should achieve the true submission to God the Almighty. These values will be deepened with reflection and remembrance and nourished by worship in the broadest sense of the terms. If we consider them in our human relations and daily affairs, we will not be overcome by our desires and immoralities. In this way, a believer can stay in the sphere of faith all the time, revolving around its main axis. Matters of faith and its practice are reflected in the first Qur’anic chapter al-Fatiha (the Opening) in a great harmony. In this book, Fehullah Gulen interprets the verses of the most important chapter of the Qur'an for a deeper understanding of its relevance to the essence of Islam. Gulen's analysis is well grounded in the Islamic tradition yet provides fresh insights into the message of the Qur'an for today's readers.

Left for Dead
On July 13, 2001, in Hassi Messaoud, an oil-rich town in southern Algeria, following virulent preaching by the imam, about 500 men assaulted and tortured some 50 women during a raid to inflict punishment. Public humiliation, family scorn, silence from the foreign press and fear of reprisals followed this nightmarish experience, which most of the victims chose to forget. But some women refused to forget and demanded that the culprits face punishment - Rahmouna Salah and Fatiha Maamoura fought right up to the trial. From their childhood in patriarchal families, through marriages, renunciations and divorces, to the birth of their children, these women tell of the difficulties of living outside the yoke of men in a society undergoing terrible upheavals. Rahmouna Salah and Fatiha Maamoura were born and raised in Algeria. With this courageous testimony, they continue their fight. Nadia Kaci is an actress (Ça commence aujourd’hui by Bertrand Tavernier, 1998; Viva Laldjérie and Délice Paloma by Nadir Moknèche, 2004 and 2006). She was the co-writer for both Rahmouna Salah and Fatiha Maamoura.

Veiled Programming and Mathematical Symmetry in al-Fatiha: A Cosmological Perspective
No equation is available that can provide for a Creator for this universe. This gap is a power place for the hypotheses called Evolution. This would be the first time that this gap is addressed. Al-Fatiha, Chapter 1 in the Quran provides an equation filling this gap once and for all. In its own right, al-Fatiha veils huge programming and symmetry works within. The universe and all its inhabitants living or inert are expressed in symmetric effulgence while they all live and thrive in hidden programming legacy assigned in every unseen fabric of nature. Al-Fatiha is created exactly in the same single line. Chapter 1 in the Quran guides us to see a nexus between the programming and symmetry in the creation and the programming and symmetry in al-Fatiha as a bridge to reach the truth that both have a common source of origin. Al-Fatiha edifies humans to search for a huge Mathematical Creator out there and inhume the fabrications of evolution for good as a universe that is programmed from a-z, in that, the so-called undirected random evolution is a randomly gross notion of random individuals and is unable to compete with the constraints of mathematics and survive as the fittest.
Return to Childhood
Leila Abouzeid, whose novel Year of the Elephant has gone through six reprintings, has now translated her childhood memoir into English. Published in Rabat in 1993 to critical acclaim, the work brings to life the interlocking dramas of family ties and political conflict. Against a background of Morocco's struggle for independence from French colonial rule, Abouzeid charts the development of personal relationships, between generations as well as between husbands and wives. Abouzeid's father is a central figure; as a strong advocate of Moroccan nationalism, he was frequently imprisoned by the French and his family forced to flee the capital. Si Hmed was a public hero, but the young daughter's ...
Kabbalistic Circles in Jerusalem (1896-1948)
This book endeavors to fill a lacuna in the literature on early twentieth-century kabbalah, namely the lack of a comprehensive account of the traditional kabbalah seminaries (Yeshivot) in Jerusalem from 1896 to 1948 as well as the various manifestations of kabbalah within traditional Jewish society. The foundations that were laid in the early twentieth century also paved the way for the contemporary blossoming of kabbalah in many and manifold circles. In this sense, retracing the pertinent developments in Palestine at the outset of the twentieth century is imperative not only for repairing the distorted picture of the past, but for understanding the ongoing surge in kabbalah study.
