Sepanjang Sejarah Indonesia, ada banyak tragedi memilukan, pembantaian berdarah, dan kekejaman lainnya yang disembunyikan atau luput dari perhatian khalayak luas. Meski demikian, sebagai orang Indonesia, identitas keindonesiaan kita turut didefinisikan oleh peristiwa-peristiwa yang mengoyak nurani itu. Suka atau tidak suka, identitas itu melekat erat pada diri kita. Hingga kini, tragedi dan kekejian berdarah itu lebih banyak menyisakan pertanyaan di ruang hampa. Bahkan acap kali kita gagap untuk menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang paling umum seperti: Mengapa kejadian itu bisa terjadi? Dimana saja terjadinya? Siapa pelakunya? Siapa saja yang menjadi korban? Di mana para korban dikuburkan? Buku ini membahas dinamika kekejaman dan tragedi kemanusiaan sepanjang sejarah Indonesia. Semua peristiwa yang terjadi di setiap daerah, dihadirkan dengan karakteristiknya sendiri-sendiri. Variasi itulah yang turut mengukir nuansa dalam lembaran-lembaran buku ini.
Reforming Modernity is a sweeping intellectual history and philosophical reflection built around the work of the Morocco-based philosopher Abdurrahman Taha, one of the most significant philosophers in the Islamic world since the colonial era.

Abou El Fadl (Islamic law, UCLA School of Law) wrote the 62 brief essays here over the course of five years. Through a combination of musings and critical reflections on classical Muslim authors, he both traces Muslim intellectual history and also confronts questions of ethics, faith, law, politics, culture, and modern identity. He ranges over many facets of Islam in the contemporary world, exploring censorship, political oppression, terrorism, the veil and the treatment of women, marriage, parental rights, the dynamics between law and morality, the character of the prophet Muhammad, and other topics. About half the essays first appeared in The minaret magazine. c. Book News Inc.
The hawari of Cairo - narrow non-straight alleyways - are the basic urban units that have formed the medieval city since its foundation back in 969 AD. Until early in the C20th, they made up the primary urban divisions of the city and were residential in nature. Contemporary hawari, by contrast, are increasingly dominated by commercial and industrial activity. This medieval urban maze of extremely short, broken, zigzag streets and dead ends are defensible territories, powerful institutions, and important social systems. While the hawari have been studied as an exemplar for urban structure of medieval Islamic urbanism, and as individual building typologies, this book is the first to examine i...
