Durbar
Tavleen Singh’s acclaimed and bestselling memoir begins in the summer of 1975 when, not yet twenty-five, she started working as a junior reporter in the Statesman in New Delhi. Within five weeks, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared the Emergency, and soon reckless policies said to be authored by her younger son were unleashed on India’s citizens. In 1984, following Indira Gandhi’s assassination, Rajiv Gandhi became Prime Minister, fortified by a huge mandate from a nation desperate for change. But, belying its hopes, the young leader chose for himself a group of advisors, friends and acolytes just as unaware as him of the ground realities of a complex nation. It was the beginning of ...

Black Morocco
Black Morocco: A History of Slavery, Race, and Islam chronicles the experiences, identity and achievements of enslaved black people in Morocco from the sixteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century. Chouki El Hamel argues that we cannot rely solely on Islamic ideology as the key to explain social relations and particularly the history of black slavery in the Muslim world, for this viewpoint yields an inaccurate historical record of the people, institutions and social practices of slavery in Northwest Africa. El Hamel focuses on black Moroccans' collective experience beginning with their enslavement to serve as the loyal army of the Sultan Isma'il. By the time the Sultan died in 1727, they had become a political force, making and unmaking rulers well into the nineteenth century. The emphasis on the political history of the black army is augmented by a close examination of the continuity of black Moroccan identity through the musical and cultural practices of the Gnawa.
Nation and Migration
Peter van der Veer and the contributors to this volume explore the relationship between South Asian nationalism, migration, ethnicity, and the construction of religious identity. Although nationality and diaspora seem to represent opposite ideas and values, the authors argue that nationalism is strengthened, even produced, by migration.
Applied Geotechnics for Engineers 1
Rekayasa geologi teknik memegang peranan penting dalam semua perencanaan fondasi untuk semua jenis pembangunan infrastruktur yang sedang dilakukan di seluruh area Negara Indonesia. Kesesuaian hasil penyelidikan geologi teknik di lapangan, laboratorium dan rekomendasi teknik yang memadai dan akurat akan sangat menentukan keberhasilan dalam pencapaian hasil pembangunan yang baik, aman dan tepat waktu. Ketidak tepatan durasi pelaksanaan dalam penyelesaian konstruksi, salah satunya karena faktor hasil penyelidikan dan rancangan geologi teknik dengan data perolehan yang minim dalam perencanaan. Di samping itu hasil penyelidikan geologi teknik lapangan banyak dijumpai adanya ketidaktepatan apa yang diperoleh di masa tahap pendataan dalam perencanaan, dengan keadaan sebenarnya setelah area medan dilaksanakan konstruksinya. Bahasan di buku 1 ini adalah: - Prinsip Dasar Ilmu Geologi - Perencanaan Survei Geologi Teknik - Penyelidikan Geologi Teknik Lapangan - Uji Lab. Mekanika Tanah dan Batuan - Koreksi Hasil Uji Penetrasi Standar Lapangan - Klasifikasi Tanah, Batuan, Sistem Klasifikasi Masa Batuan - Tekanan Tanah, Parameter Deformasi
The Cambridge Dictionary of Modern World History
In a world where we take for granted the ability to communicate instantly across vast distances and time, world history has come of age. We increasingly reflect on history from a position which no longer privileges Europe or the West, and from a global perspective which ranges from the Pacific Rim to the Balkans, and from Latin America to the Middle East. Compiled by an international team of contributors, area editors and general editors, The Cambridge Dictionary of Modern World History provides a much needed guide to the main global events, personalities and themes from the eighteenth century to the present. Major themes of war, politics, society and religion are covered, alongside more recent subjects within the discipline; from globalization and the environment to transnational social movements and human rights. This is an essential new work of reference not only for scholars and students but also for the wider general public.
