In July 2009, violence erupted among Uyghurs, Chinese state police, and Han residents of Ürümqi, the capital city of Xinjiang, in northwest China, making international headlines, and introducing many to tensions in the area. But conflict in the region has deep roots. Now available in paperback, Holy War in China remains the first comprehensive and balanced history of a late nineteenth-century Muslim rebellion in Xinjiang, which led to the establishment of an independent Islamic state under Ya'qub Beg. That independence was lost in 1877, when the Qing army recaptured the region and incorporated it into the Chinese state, known today as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Hodong Kim offers readers the first English-language history of the rebellion since 1878 to be based on primary sources in Islamic languages as well as Chinese, complemented by British and Ottoman archival documents and secondary sources in Russian, English, Japanese, Chinese, French, German, and Turkish. His pioneering account of past events offers much insight into current relations.

This book contains articles on historic cities of the Islamic world, ranging from West Africa to Malaysia, which over the centuries have been centres of culture and learning and of economic and commercial life, and which have contributed much to the consolidation of Islam as a faith and as a social and political institution. The articles have been taken from the second edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam, completed in 2004, but in many cases expanded and rewritten. All have been updated to include fresh historical information, with note of contemporary social developments and population statistics. The book thus delineates the urban background of Islam has it has evolved up to the present day, highlighting the role of such great cities as Cairo, Istanbul, Baghdad and Delhi in Islamic history, and also brings them together in a rich panorama illustrating one of mankind's greatest achievements, the living organism of the city.

Der von Edward Said angeregte Orientalismus-Diskurs über den westlichen Blick auf den Orient weist auf die überwiegend durch Stereotype und Vorurteile geprägte Betrachtungsweise des Okzidents hin. Dabei geht Said stillschweigend von einem männlichen Diskurs aus, gestützt auf zumeist von Männern verfasste Texte und Bilder - wie etwa der Topos von Feminisierung und Sexualisierung des Orients als des unterlegenen, exotischen Anderen. Wie aber nehmen Frauen den Orient wahr? Verstärken und unterstützen sie die männliche Sichtweise oder konterkarieren oder variieren sie sie? Forschungsgegenstand dieses Bandes sind Aufzeichnungen europäischer Frauen, die in Begleitung ihrer Männer oder a...
