The Routledge History of Terrorism
Though the history of terrorism stretches back to the ancient world, today it is often understood as a recent development. Comprehensive enough to serve as a survey for students or newcomers to the field, yet with enough depth to engage the specialist, The Routledge History of Terrorism is the first single-volume authoritative reference text to place terrorism firmly into its historical context. Terrorism is a transnational phenomenon with a convoluted history that defies easy periodization and narrative treatment. Over the course of 32 chapters, experts in the field analyze its historical significance and explore how and why terrorism emerged as a set of distinct strategies, tactics, and mi...

Les Druzes
"Les Druzes ne constituent pas une "île" à part. Ils souffrent de tous les maux de la société libabaise au même titre que les autres comunautés et sont influencés par leur comportement. Ils ont leurs points forts, mais également beaucoups de points faibles. [...] Ce livre tente de briser les stéréotypes, de démystifier les légendes, de lever les tabous et de présenter une image authenique, sans courtoisie ni complaisance, des Druzes à la fois à l'attention d'eux-mêmes et à celle de tous les autres Libanais" --
Histoire de l'islam et des musulmans en France du Moyen Âge à nos jours
De la bataille de Poitiers aux croisades, des échanges intellectuels du Moyen Age à l'orientalisme, de la colonisation à la guerre d'Algérie jusqu'aux débats actuels sur l'immigration, plus de soixante-dix spécialistes, historiens ou grands témoins retracent treize siècles d'une histoire politique, sociale et culturelle tumultueuse et captivante. " C'est l'histoire culturelle qui domine ici, écrit Jacques Le Goff dans sa préface, et plus largement une histoire de l'imaginaire qui nous livre les fluctuations de l'image de l'Autre... Il s'agit de faire passer le musulman de la situation d'Autre à celle de concitoyen à part entière. Il reste sans doute un long chemin à parcourir, et l'éclairage de l'histoire depuis le Moyen Age y est nécessaire. " Un ouvrage de référence unique, passionnant et richement illustré.
Apocalypse, Revolution and Terrorism
This book focuses on religiously driven oppositional violence through the ages. Beginning with the 1st-century Sicari, it examines the commonalities that link apocalypticism, revolution, and terrorism occurring in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam past and present. It is divided into two sections, 'This was Then' and 'This is Now', which together examine the cultural and religious history of oppositional violence from the time of Jesus to the aftermath of the 2016 American election. The historical focus centers on how the movements, leaders and revolutionaries from earlier times are interpreted today through the lenses of historical memory and popular culture. The radical right is the primary but not exclusive focus of the second part of the book. At the same time, the work is intensely personal, in that it incorporates the author's experiences in the worlds of communist Eastern Europe, in the Iranian Revolution, and in the uprisings and wars in the Middle East and East Africa. This book will be of much interest to students of religious and political violence, religious studies, history, and security studies.
Terrorism and Literature
Terrorism has long been a major shaping force in the world. However, the meanings of terrorism, as a word and as a set of actions, are intensely contested. This volume explores how literature has dealt with terrorism from the Renaissance to today, inviting the reader to make connections between older instances of terrorism and contemporary ones, and to see how the various literary treatments of terrorism draw on each other. The essays demonstrate that the debates around terrorism only give the fictive imagination more room, and that fiction has a great deal to offer in terms of both understanding terrorism and our responses to it. Written by historians and literary critics, the essays provide essential knowledge to understand terrorism in its full complexity. As befitting a global problem, this book brings together a truly international group of scholars, with representatives from America, Scotland, Canada, New Zealand, Italy, Israel, and other countries.
