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.
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
This publication is the first version of the World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples, published in 1997. The full Directory is now available and continually updated on our website. The large majority of violent conflicts in the world today are conflicts within states, with groups polarized across ethnic and religious divides and not across borders. Ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities are often among the poorest of the poor, suffer discrimination and are frequently the victims of human rights abuses. Time and time again in the past, the United Nations system, governments and even non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in the field of ‘conflict prevention’ have ...
Showcases the recent advances in microbial functional food applications across food science, microbiology, biotechnology, and chemical engineering Microbial technology plays a key role in the improvement of biotechnology, cosmeceuticals, and biopharmaceutical applications. It has turned into a subject of expanding significance because new microbes and their related biomolecules are distinguished for their biological activity and health benefits. Encompassing both biotechnology and chemical engineering, Microbial Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals brings together microbiology, bacteria, and food processing/mechanization, which have applications for a variety of audiences. Pharmaceuticals, di...
