CAKRAWALA DUNIA ARAB: Paradigma Holistik Relasi Politik, Agama, dan Budaya di Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara
Ketika mendengar kawasan Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara, apa yang kira-kira terbayang dalam benak kita? Negara-negara petrodollar? Sejarah? Menara pencakar langit? Atau politik monarkinya? Ataukah seputar konflik, kelaparan, pengungsian, dan pendudukannya? Apapun gambaran dominan yang ada di benak anda tentang kawasan Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara beserta “Bumi Manusia”-nya adalah pemantik bagi kami untuk membuat kajian holistik sebagai ikhtiar untuk menggali secara lebih komprehensif dan kritis sekaligus emansipatif melalui perspektif baru berdasarkan pendekatan yang ilmiah, lepas dari konstruksi pengetahuan kolonial, sesuai dengan konteks kekinian, dan juga sembari memprediksi arah yang...
Black Thursday
The text authored by Muhammad Al Tijani Al Samawi presents an english translation of the famous event of Raziyyat Yawm al-Khamees, known as Black Thursday which took place in the last days before the Holy Prophet's demise. It concerns an incident during the Prophet's illness when he asked for writing materials to dictate a will, but the people present around him said that he was talking nonsense. This event is a point of controversy between the two largest sects of Islam. This book presents the reality of what happened and who was the person involved who had the audacity to cast such aspersion on the Messenger of Allah (S).
The Jahangirnama
Wheeler Thackstons lively new translation ofThe Jahangirnama, co-published with the Freer/Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, presents an engaging portrait of an intriguing emperor and his flourishing empire. The Emperor Jahangir is probably best know in the West as being the father of Shahjahan, who built the Taj Mahal. His reign was one of great prosperity, and his passion for art and nature encouraged a flowering that some say rivaled European art during the rule of the Medicis. In penning his memoirs, Jahangir followed a tradition begun by his great-grandfather, the Emperor Babur. Jahangirs memoirs, however, provide not only the history of his reign, but also his re...
The Graves of Tarim
The Graves of Tarim narrates the movement of an old diaspora across the Indian Ocean over the past five hundred years. Ranging from Arabia to India and Southeast Asia, Engseng Ho explores the transcultural exchanges—in kinship and writing—that enabled Hadrami Yemeni descendants of the Muslim prophet Muhammad to become locals in each of the three regions yet remain cosmopolitans with vital connections across the ocean. At home throughout the Indian Ocean, diasporic Hadramis engaged European empires in surprising ways across its breadth, beyond the usual territorial confines of colonizer and colonized. A work of both anthropology and history, this book brilliantly demonstrates how the emer...

Muslim Networks from Hajj to Hip Hop
Crucial to understanding Islam is a recognition of the role of Muslim networks. The earliest networks were Mediterranean trade routes that quickly expanded into transregional paths for pilgrimage, scholarship, and conversion, each network complementing and reinforcing the others. This volume selects major moments and key players from the seventh century to the twenty-first that have defined Muslim networks as the building blocks for Islamic identity and social cohesion. Although neglected in scholarship, Muslim networks have been invoked in the media to portray post-9/11 terrorist groups. Here, thirteen essays provide a long view of Muslim networks, correcting both scholarly omission and pol...
