Bukhara and the Muslims of Russia
In Bukhara and the Muslims of Russia Allen Frank examines the relationship of Tatars and Bashkirs with the city of Bukhara during the Russian Imperial era. For Muslims in Russia Bukhara’s prestige was manifested in genealogies, fashion, and in the elevated legal status of Bukharan communities in Russia. The historical relationship of Russia’s Muslim communities with Bukhara was founded above all on Bukhara’s reputation as a holy city of Islam, an abode of great Sufis, and a center of Islamic scholarship. The emergence of Islamic reformism critiquing Bukhara’s sacred status, led by Tatar scholars who were trained in Bukhara, created a number of paradoxes. The symbol of Bukhara became an important feature in theological and political debates among Russia’s Muslims.

Quantum Justice
[The author] highlights how girls use spoken word poetry to narrate their experiences, dreams, and strategies. By centering the process of creating and performing, this book examines how girls forecast what is possible for their collective lives. Endsley combines poetry, discourse analysis, photovoice, and more to forge her theory of 'quantum justice,' which forefronts girls' relationships with their global counterparts. Quantum justice theory allows Endsley to examine how these collaborative efforts produce powerful networks and ultimately map trajectories of social change. By inviting transnational dialogue, Quantum Justice emphasizes how the imaginative energy in hip-hop culture can mobilize girls to connect and motivate each other through performance and disrupt the status quo." -- back cover.
The Serpent in the Throat, and Other Pagan Tales

If the first five thousand years of recorded human civilization are not proof of that -- filled as they are with exuberant tales of Goddesses and Gods and spirits and Mighty Dead and heroes and fantastical animals -- than the last few decades certainly are.There has been an explosion in explicitly Pagan literature, as well as what might be considered Pagan-friendly literature. Science fiction and fantasy, and their attendant sub genres, children's books and teen books, mystery and historical fiction and romance (especially of the paranormal variety), are rich with Deities and mythologies and practitioners of the Old/New Ways.T...
