Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was 19 years old when I woke up that fall morning in the capital city of my Middle Eastern country. I was happy that it was Sunday, my favorite day of the week. I was going to church. My family had converted to Christianity, which my father did not support. #2 I was afraid for my parents, but I was not afraid for myself. I felt confident that God was on our side, and that He would protect us. I walked out of the house and raised my face to the sunlight, praying that God would show my father how much He loved him and His other children. #3 I was always safe in my sister’s dorm room, because of the presence of the Lord. I was always welcomed by my friends at choir practice, because I was laughing. #4 The joy of the Lord is my strength, and my light, and my salvation. I was excited to be a part of the church, and I was thrilled by the pastor’s message about persecution.
First published in 1984, Habib Bourguiba, Islam and the Creation of Tunisia is a study of Habib Bourguiba, the founder of independent Tunisia, that argues that Islam played a vital role in the development of the Tunisian nationalist movement. This book is therefore both a biography of the Tunisian leader and a discussion of the role of Islam as the key to legitimacy throughout the Arab world. The author argues that Islam was such a fundamental component in defining the specificity of the Tunisian nation that even Bourguiba, the most secular of Arab leaders, could not shed the Arab-Islamic heritage of Tunisia. Instead, he used Islam as a principle mode of communication to mobilise the Tunisian masses. This book will be of interest to students of African studies, history, political science and religion.
President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia was an Arab leader greatly admired in the West for his moderation and level headedness. He led his small country to independence after a prolonged struggle against the French coloniser. He suffered long periods of deprivation and imprisonment before he acceded to supreme rule. His country has much to thank him for but he ruled too long and ended his reign in the tragedy of senility and absolutism. This book is a sympathetic study of a long and fascinating life.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The VN is responsible for managing the inflammatory system, which is the main inflammatory control system in the body. When inflammation levels are not kept in check, they can lead to many different health conditions. #2 The vagus nerve begins in the brainstem, stemming from four different nuclei. It controls specific component fibers of the nerve and sends sensory signals from the skin to the spinal trigeminal nucleus. It also sends direct signals to the organs it controls. #3 The vagus nerve extends out of the skull and into the upper neck area just behind the ear, between the internal jugular vein and internal carotid artery. It then passes between the external canal and tragus of each ear, and toward the skin of each ear. #4 The vagus nerve travels down the neck and reaches the thorax, where it sends branches to the lungs. The left vagus nerve sends a pulmonary branch to the anterior pulmonary plexus, and the right vagus nerve sends a pulmonary branch to the posterior pulmonary plexus.
A giant, ancient statue of Buddha is blown to pieces in Afghanistan, and there is one man to blame: terrorist Habib Khadr. Following this magnificent display of his power, Habib is quiet for decades until he surfaces again in Mexico. He has successfully evaded Interpol, and he now plans to cross the Sierra Madre Plateau into America. Habib leaves a trail of murders in his wake, but he arrives in North Dakota, where he is reunited with his notoriously powerful wife. Together, they form a plot to rescue their son from Americanization and destroy Mount Rushmore. Meanwhile, private investigators-and spouses-Ryan Moar and Joanne Sutter have their own problems. They investigate a young man named Moe Fouzi, who is about to marry an American heiress, although his intentions are not clear. Moe is not who he appears to be, and their investigation soon takes the detectives into the bloody path of Habib Khadr. Now, in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Ryan and Joanne must fight to save America's most prized monument and their own lives.
Pakistani migrant families in Denmark find themselves in a specific ethno-national, post-9/11 environment where Muslim immigrants are subjected to processes of non-recognition, exclusion and securitization. This ethnographic study explores how, why, and at what costs notions of relatedness, identity, and belonging are being renegotiated within local families and transnational kinship networks. Each entry point concerns the destructive–productive constitution of family life, where neglected responsibilities, obligations, and trust lead not only to broken relationships, but also, and inevitably, to the innovative creation of new ones. By connecting the micro-politics of the migrant family with the macro-politics of the nation state and global conjunctures in general, the book argues that securitization and suspicion—launched in the name of “integration”—escalate internal community dynamics and processes of family upheaval in unpredicted ways.
