The Rushdie Affair
The publication in 1988 of Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses triggered a furor that pitted much of the Islamic world against the West over issues of blasphemy and freedom of expression. The controversy soon took on the aspect of a confrontation of civilizations, provoking powerful emotions on a global level. It involved censorship, protests, riots, a break in diplomatic relations, culminating in the notorious Iranian edict calling for the death of the novelist. In The Rushdie Affair, Daniel Pipes explains why the publication of The Satanic Verses became a cataclysmic event with far-reaching political and social consequences.Pipes looks at the Rushdie affair in both its political and ...
The Clash of Fundamentalisms
The aerial attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, a global spectacle of unprecedented dimensions, generated an enormous volume of commentary. The inviolability of the American mainland, breached for the first time since 1812, led to extravagant proclamations by the pundits. It was a new world-historical turning point. The 21st century, once greeted triumphantly as marking the dawn of a worldwide neo-liberal civilization, suddenly became menaced. The choice presented from the White House and its supporters was to stand shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism or be damned. Tariq Ali challenges these assumptions, arguing instead that what we have experienced is the return of History...
Race, Ethnography and Education
This book focuses on race and ethnography, and in particular, it addresses two significant issues. Firstly, leading thinkers and emerging scholars in the field explicate the complicated nature of race intersections, theories, and meanings in educational ethnography. The ethnographic accounts consider schooling, which is then extended to larger educational settings, bound by unique and peculiar histories and locations. By amalgamating this selection of papers into one issue, the book both challenges the effects of educational histories, policies and practices, by interrogating theories and meanings of race, and positions race and racism in ethnography with the hope of presenting new applicati...
Chris van Wyk – Irascible Genius
When he died in 2014, author Chris van Wyk left behind an impressive literary legacy. The scope of his work was broad – poetry, children’s books, short stories and biographies. But perhaps he is best remembered for his memoir Shirley, Goodness & Mercy, which chronicles his growing up in Riverlea and introduces us to the colourful characters who helped to shape his life and inform the stories he wrote. The public persona of this witty and wise raconteur was well known, but behind it was a family man, who liked nothing better than to spend time with his two sons Kevin and Karl, his wife and childhood sweetheart Kathy, and the friends and family who were his primary sources of inspiration. ...

Hilda; Cinta, Luka, dan Perjuangan
Novel ini adalah jenis novel yang dari halaman depan hingga halaman akhir tak pernah berhenti menawarkan tegangan. Dengan cerita yang bikin penasaran dan gaya bahasa yang mengalir secara lincah, novel ini seolah tak memberikan jeda kepada pembaca untuk sekadar berhenti sejenak, melainkan menuntut untuk menuntaskannya hingga akhir. Sebuah cinta yang rumit, tragedi yang traumatik, perjuangan hidup yang tidak mudah, upaya hebat melawan penyakit yang akut, dan benturan-benturan hebat dengan realitas yang pahit, menjadi silang-sengkarut dalam diri Hilda, tokoh utama novel ini, dengan lingkungan pesantren yang adem, orang-orang yang penuh cinta dan kasih, pemahaman agama yang digali dari kitab-kit...
