Arab Nationalism
This book sheds light on cultural expressions of Arab Nationalism and the contradictory meanings often attached to it. It presents nationalism as an experienceable set of identity markers – in stories, visual culture, narratives of memory and struggles with ideology. Using case studies, the book transcends a conventional history that reduces nationalism in the Arab lands to a pattern of political rise and decline. It suggests Arabs have constructed an identifiable shared national culture, and it critically dissects conceptions about Arab nationalism as an easily graspable secular and authoritarian ideology modelled on Western ideas and visions of modernity.

Driven by the urge for complete freedom from colonialism, authoritarianism, fascism and militarism, which are rooted in the idea and politics of the nation-state, Acharya fought for an international vision of socialism and freedom. During the tumultuous opening decades of the 1900s--marked by the globalisation of radical inter-revolutionary struggles, world wars, the rise of communism and fascism, and the growth of colonial independence moveme...

Confronting Fascism in Egypt
Confronting Fascism in Egypt offers a new reading of the political and intellectual culture of Egypt during the interwar era. Though scholarship has commonly emphasized Arab political and military support of Axis powers, this work reveals that the shapers of Egyptian public opinion were largely unreceptive to fascism, openly rejecting totalitarian ideas and practices, Nazi racism, and Italy's and Germany's expansionist and imperialist agendas. The majority (although not all) of Egyptian voices supported liberal democracy against the fascist challenge, and most Egyptians sought to improve and reform, rather than to replace and destroy, the existing constitutional and parliamentary system. The...
Salafismus in Deutschland
»Nicht alle Salafisten sind Terroristen, aber alle uns bekannten islamistischen Terrorverdächtigen haben einen salafistischen Hintergrund.« So beschreiben deutsche Innenpolitiker ein wachsendes Problem: Junge Menschen brechen auf, um in den Krieg nach Syrien oder in den Irak zu ziehen. Manche verüben dort Gräueltaten und rühmen sich damit im Internet. Die meisten bleiben in Deutschland, lehnen Gewalt ab und folgen strengsten Glaubensregeln. Wer sind die Salafisten, was wollen sie, wen bedrohen sie? Dieser Band gibt umfassend Antworten. Renommierte Experten ordnen den Salafismus in die islamische Geschichte sowie in den deutschen Gesellschaftskontext ein und schlagen Strategien für den Umgang mit dem Phänomen vor. Zudem berichten Betroffene über ihre Erfahrungen mit Salafisten.
