The Politics of Art
Over the last three decades, a new generation of conceptual artists has come to the fore in the Arab Middle East. As wars, peace treaties, sanctions, and large-scale economic developments have reshaped the region, this cohort of cultural producers has also found themselves at the center of intergenerational debates on the role of art in society. Central to these cultural debates is a steady stream of support from North American and European funding organizations—resources that only increased with the start of the Arab uprisings in the early 2010s. The Politics of Art offers an unprecedented look into the entanglement of art and international politics in Beirut, Ramallah, and Amman to under...
When Islam Is Not a Religion
American Muslim religious liberty lawyer Asma Uddin has long considered her work defending people of all faiths to be a calling more than a job. Yet even as she seeks equal protection for Evangelicals, Sikhs, Muslims, Native Americans, Jews, and Catholics alike, she has seen an ominous increase in attempts to criminalize Islam and exclude Muslim Americans from those protections.Somehow, the view that Muslims aren’t human enough for human rights or constitutional protections is moving from the fringe to the mainstream—along with the claim “Islam is not a religion.” This conceit is not just a threat to the First Amendment rights of American Muslims. It is a threat to the freedom of all...

This book provides a critical overview of contemporary world issues in Language and Literary Studies.

Cartas ao meu vizinho palestino
Lírico e evocatório, este livro é uma das tentativas mais convincentes de estabelecer um diálogo além do muro que separa israelenses e palestinos. Em uma série de cartas, Yossi Klein Halevi se empenha para desfazer o nó ideológico e emocional que tem definido o conflito israelense-palestino por quase um século. Fazendo uso da história e da experiência pessoal como seus guias, ele desemaranha os complexos filamentos de fé, orgulho, raiva e angústia que sente como um judeu vivendo em Israel. Em um esforço sem precedentes para partilhar os dois lados dessa terrível luta, a obra inclui um extenso epílogo de cartas enviadas em resposta a Halevi por palestinos. Algumas irritadas, outras empáticas, embora todas respeitosas, tais cartas abrem a possibilidade de diálogo entre israelenses e palestinos, expondo a sincera emoção de ambos os lados e mostrando que a paz pode ser possível se apenas estivermos dispostos a ouvir o outro.
