The Practice of War
The fact is that war comes in many guises and its effects continue to be felt long after peace is proclaimed. This challenges the anthropologists who write of war as participant observers. Participant observation inevitably deals with the here and now, with the highly specific. It is only over the long view that one can begin to see the commonalities that emerge from the different forms of conflict and can begin to generalize. [From the Introduction] More needs to be understood about the ways of war and its effects. What implications does war have for people, their lived-in communities and larger political systems; how do they cope and adjust in war situations and how do they deal with the changed world that they inhabit once peace is declared? Through a series of essays that move from looking at the nature of violence to the peace processes that follow it, this important book provides some answers to these questions. It also analyzes those new dimensions of social interaction, such as the internet, which now provide a bridge between local concerns and global networks and are fundamentally altering the practices of war.
The Story of Joseph
Learned by heart and copied by hand in the Volga region for generations, Kyssa’i Yusuf (The Story of Joseph) is today the only surviving work by the founder of Bulgar-Tatar literature Kol Gali (1183–1236) and is here rendered into English for the first time in its entirety by Fred Beake and Ravil Bukharaev. Supporting the translation, which is fully annotated, are forty specially commissioned illustrations by one of Russia’s leading contemporary artists Azat Minnekaev. The volume also includes a facsimile of one of the newly discovered handmade copies of the nineteenth century, together with a full introduction presenting the historical and literary context of the work. Kyssa’i Yusuf, comprising over a thousand stanzas, is an Islamic version of the well known biblical tale, and is presumed to have been a ‘popularized’version based on an earlier Islamic narrative – not unlike the late-twentieth century ‘interpretation’ found in the popular musical Joseph and His Technicolour Dreamcoat. The translation will be of special interest to biblical scholars as well as students of Islamic literature and those pursuing inter-faith studies.
The Story of Prophet Yusuf
This book contains a reliable narrative of the story of Prophet Yusuf (AS), a mighty messenger of Allah who is revered by people of many religions. The story is based on a work entitled "Stories of the Prophets" by Sh. Abū al-Hasan 'Alī al-Nadwī, a prominent scholar and reformer of the 20th century. It is a great book for both adults and children. What sets this unique edition apart is that it presents the original Arabic text with diacritical marks along with an original English translation, line by line. This makes the book useful for English readers, Arabic readers, and learners of either language.
