A fast-paced, narrative-driven account of the rise of Islamic State, based on thorough research.

The world is watching Islamic State’s lightning advance through Syria to the gates of Baghdad. For the

third time in fifteen years, the US risks being drawn into another war in the Middle East despite its experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq. IS are creating catastrophic waves across the region, but it is still unclear what lies behind its success.

Islamic State: Rewriting History takes the long-view by analysing IS’s beginnings in Iraq to their involvement in the Arab Spring and through to the present day. It discusses the myriad of regional players engaged in a seemingly endless power game: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Iraq have all contributed to the success of IS by supplying arms and funds.

Using a fast-paced, narrative-driven style, Michael Griffin foregrounds the story of the uprising against President Assad of Syria and describes his regime’s varied responses; the human cost; the role played by Free Syrian Army, Islamist groups, Iran, Hezbollah and Russia; the chemical weapons attacks in 2013; and the House of Commons vote not to impose a no-fly zone over the country.

Michael Griffin is a writer, editor, political analyst and specialist on the Taliban and Al Qa’ida. He regularly comments on the war in Afghanistan for BBC World, Sky and Al Jazeera. As an editor he has worked for Transparency International, International Alert, Small Arms Survey and ODI. His previous books include Reaping the Whirlwind: The Taliban Movement (Pluto, 2001).

‘An important and fascinating exposé through architecture, geography and history, of the rise of the Jewish city of Tel Aviv, the fabled ‘white city,’ and the degradation of its Arab neighbour, Jaffa, into a chaotic, degenerated urban backwater. A sad but revealing history of how myths are forged and histories corrupted.’

- Raja Shehadeh, author of Palestinian Walks: Notes on a Vanishing Landscape and winner of the Orwell Prize

A new urban parable which uncovers the original Palestinian history deliberately hidden behind the modernist façade of Tel Aviv.

White City, Black City is a story of two intertwining narratives which reveals the hidden history of the

region where now stands modern-day Tel Aviv. The new architectural landscape of this city, its Bauhaus-influenced modernist architecture glittering white, represents one side of the story, that of the White City, which rose from the sparse sand dunes to house a new Jewish society.

But there is a second story – that of the Black City of Jaffa, the traces of which lie on the outskirts of the region, and which are rarely mentioned.

In this book, Sharon Rotbard blows apart this palimpsest in a clear, fluent and challenging style, which promises to force the reality of what so many have praised as ‘progress’ into the mainstream discourse.

White City, Black City is, all at once, an angry uncovering of a vanished history, a book mourning the loss of an architectural heritage, a careful study in urban design and a beautifully written narrative history. It is in all senses a political book, but one that expands beyond the typical.

Sharon Rotbard is an architect, activist, writer and publisher based in South Tel Aviv. He is a senior lecturer at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem, and Chair of Architecture at CARE School of Architecture at Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu, India.

A disturbing insight into the new phenomenon of the ‘securocratic’ war in the modern policed world.

War Against the People is the long-awaited book by renowned anthropologist and activist Jeff Halper.

Using firsthand research, he investigates the rise of the Israeli state’s ‘securocratic war’ in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. A subliminal form of warfare which creates fear amongst the populace, it functions by suggesting the ‘other’ is inside the city limits and weaving ideological fabrications which form an excuse to intensify the military apparatus in everyday civilian life.

This apparatus includes sophisticated sensors, information databases on civilian activity, automated targeting systems and unmanned drones which affect civilian lives both physically and virtually. Eventually, the integration of militarised systems becomes seamless, and the Occupied Territories have become a veritable laboratory.

Halper moves on to explain how this method of war is in fact global - the major capitalist powers and corporations worldwide combine militaries, security agencies and police forces into an effective instrument of what he calls ‘global pacification’. War Against the People is a bold attempt to shine a light on these hidden practices.

Jeff Halper is the head of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD). He is the author of Between Redemption and Revival: The Jewish Yishuv in Jerusalem in the Nineteenth Century (Westview, 1991), An Israeli in Palestine (Pluto, 2008) and Obstacles to Peace (Fifth Edition, 2013).

‘Jeff Halper’s book, like his life’s work, is an inspiration. Drawing on his many years of directly challenging Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, he offers one of the most insightful analyses of the occupation I’ve read. His voice cries out to be heard.’

- Jonathan Cook, author of Israel and the Clash of Civilisations (2008), on Jeff Halper’s An Israeli in Palestine

A revealing study of Lebanese sectarianism drawn from extensive fieldwork.

The wave of popular uprisings that swept across the Arab world starting in December 2010 rattled

regimes from Morocco to Oman. However, Lebanon’s sectarian system proved immune to the domestic and regional pressures unleashed by the Arab Spring. How can this be explained? How has the country’s political elite dealt with challenges to the system? And, finally, what lessons can other Arab states draw from Lebanon’s sectarian experience?

Using extensive field work, The Politics of Sectarianism in Postwar Lebanon looks at the mix of institutional, clientelist, and discursive practices that sustain the sectarian nature of Lebanon. The book exposes snapshots of an ever-expanding sectarian web that occupies substantial areas of everyday Lebanese life. It also surveys struggles waged by opponents of the system – by women, teachers, public sector employees, students or coalitions across NGOs – and how their efforts are often sabotaged or contained by various systematic forces.

Brecht De Smet explores the relevance of the Gramscian concept of passive revolution in the context of the Egyptian revolution.

9781783713479 (Kindle)

Coming in the wake of intense political and academic debate on the nature and development of the Arab

Spring, Gramsci on Tahrir zeroes in on the complex dynamic of Egypt’s revolution and counter-revolution. It shows how a Gramscian understanding of the revolutionary process provides a powerful instrument for charting the possibilities for an emancipatory project by the Egyptian subaltern classes.

Central to De Smet’s argument is Gramsci’s take on Caesarism which involves looking at a situation in which the forces in struggle are balanced in a truly catastrophic way, and how the interplay of these forces can only end in mutual destruction. The forces acting in Egypt provide a clear example of a state with the absence of strong hegemonies and capable counter-hegemonies. Through this analysis, we can see how the current situation in Egypt demonstrates how both national histories and global power relations enable, define and displace popular resistance and social transformation.

Gramsci on Tahrir is a major contribution to the existing literature on Egypt and the Arab Spring with important implications for radical political theory.

Brecht De Smet is a lecturer and researcher at the Department of Conflict and Development Studies, Ghent University. De Smet is the author of several academic articles and opinion pieces about the workers’ movement in Egypt. His most recent work is A Dialectical Pedagogy of Revolt: Gramsci, Vygotsky, and the Egyptian Revolution (2015).

Shines a light on the often under-emphasised unarmed and peaceful protest movements in Palestine.

Popular Protest in Palestine provides an overview and analysis of the role and significance of unarmed civil

(popular) resistance in the Palestinian national movement. The main focus is on the contemporary popular resistance movement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), but it is prefaced by a historical review of the thread of unarmed civil resistance that has run throughout the history of the Palestinian liberation struggle.

It informs a contemporary readership about this under-emphasised dimension of the Palestinian struggle, arguing that at the present juncture the popular resistance movement, especially in the West Bank, is the most significant form of struggle against the ongoing occupation.

Popular Protest in Palestine also addresses the international dimensions of the Palestinian struggle, focusing in particular on the BDS campaign, the role of international solidarity activists in the OPT and beyond, and the changing forms of engagement developed by international agencies seeking to work on the roots of the conflict whilst fulfilling their humanitarian aid mandates.

A short, radical biography of the author of the classic anti-colonial text Black Skin, White Masks.

Frantz Fanon was an Afro-French psychiatrist, philosopher, revolutionary and writer whose works,

including Black Skin, White Masks are hugely influential in the fields of post-colonial studies, critical theory, and post-Marxism. His legacy remains with us today, having inspired movements in Palestine, Sri Lanka, the U.S. and South Africa.

Frantz Fanon: Philosopher of the Barricades is a critical biography of his extraordinary life. Peter Hudis draws on the expanse of his life and work - from his upbringing in Martinique and early intellectual influences, to his mature efforts to fuse psychoanalysis and philosophy, and finally his contributions to the anti-colonial struggle in Algeria - to counter the monolithic assumption that Fanon’s contribution to modern thought is defined by the advocacy of violence.

In Hudis’ biography, Fanon emerges as neither armchair intellectual nor intransigent militant. He was a political activist who brought his interests in psychology and philosophy directly to bear on such issues as mutual recognition, democratic participation and political sovereignty. This book will speak to all those engaged in the ongoing search for alternatives to oppressive social relations in the 21st century.

Peter Hudis is author of Marx’s Concept of the Alternative to Capitalism (Brill, 2012). He edited The Rosa Luxemburg Reader (MRP, 2004) and The Letters of Rosa Luxemburg (Verso, 2013) He is Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Oakton Community College, Chicago.

‘Abdo’s incisive critiques of orientalist feminisms and of the persistence of racism in the Israeli occupation of Palestine ... reveal just how much of the history of anti-imperialist struggles is absent when women – especially Palestinian women freedom fighters – are overlooked.’

Drawing on oral history of female Palestinian political detainees, this book analyses the overlooked subject of their anti-colonial struggles.

Women throughout the world have always played their part in struggles against colonialism, imperialism

and other forms of oppression. However, there are few books on Arab political prisoners, fewer still on the Palestinians who have been detained in their thousands for their political activism and resistance.

Nahla Abdo’s Captive Revolution seeks to break the silence on Palestinian women political detainees, providing a vital contribution to research on women, revolutions, national liberation and anti-colonial resistance. Based on stories of the women themselves, as well as her own experiences as a former political prisoner, Abdo draws on a wealth of oral history and primary research in order to analyse their anti-colonial struggle, their agency and their appalling treatment as political detainees.

Making crucial comparisons with the experiences of female political detainees in other conflicts, and emphasising the vital role Palestinian political culture and memorialisation of the ‘Nakba’ have had on their resilience and resistance, Captive Revolution is a rich and revealing addition to our knowledge of this little-studied phenomenon.

Nahla Abdo is an Arab feminist activist, and Professor of Sociology at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. She has written extensively on women, racism, nationalism and the State in the Middle East, with a special focus on Palestinian women.

Challenges nationalist and Zionist hegemony by discussing the hidden history of Communist and bi-national movements in Israel.

9781783712052 (Kindle)

Mainstream nationalist narratives and political movements have dominated the Israeli-Palestinian

situation for too long. In this much-needed book, Ran Greenstein challenges this hegemony by focusing on four different, but at the same time connected, attempts which stood up to Zionist dominance and the settlement project before and after 1948.

Greenstein begins by addressing the role of the Palestinian Communist Party, and then the bi-nationalist movement, before moving on to the period after 1948 when Palestinian attempts to challenge their unjust conditions of marginalisation became more frequent. Finally, he confronts the radical anti-Zionist Matzpen group, which operated from the early 1960s–80s.

In addition to analyses of the shifting positions of these movements, Greenstein examines perspectives regarding a set of conceptual issues: colonialism and settlement, race/ethnicity and class, and questions of identity, rights and power, and how, such as in the case of South Africa, these relations should be seen as global.

Ran Greenstein is Associate Professor at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. He studied at the University of Haifa and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is author of Genealogies of Conflict: Class, Identity and State in Palestine/Israel and South Africa (1995), and editor of Comparative Perspectives on South Africa (1998).

‘Greenstein’s book contains an outstanding illumination of the formative period of Palestinian communism, and a most original treatment of the lives of early Arab and Jewish critics of Zionism.’

The exploitation of migrant workers in the Gulf is explored in this accessible yet in-depth analysis by scholars from the region.

The states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates,

Oman and Qatar) form the largest destination for labour migration in the global South. In all of these states, however, the majority of the working population is composed of temporary, migrant workers with no citizenship rights.

The cheap and transitory labour power these workers provide has created the prodigious and extraordinary development boom across the region, and neighbouring countries are almost fully dependent on the labour markets of the Gulf to employ their working populations. For these reasons, the Gulf takes a central place in contemporary debates around migration and labour in the global economy.

This book attempts to bring together and explore these issues. The relationship between ‘citizen’ and ‘non-citizen’ holds immense significance for understanding the construction of class, gender, city and state in the Gulf, however too often these questions are occluded in too scholarly or overly-popular accounts of the region. Bringing together experts on the Gulf, Transit States confronts the precarious working conditions of migrants in a accessible, yet in-depth manner.

Memoirs of an Early Arab Feminist: The Life and Activism of Anbara Salam Khalidiby Anbara Salam Khalidi

Memoirs of an Early Arab Feminist is the first English

translation of the memoirs of Anbara Salam Khalidi, the iconic Arab feminist. At a time when women are playing a leading role in the Arab Spring, this book brings to life an earlier period of social turmoil and women’s activism through one remarkable life.

Anbara Salam was born in 1897 to a notable Sunni Muslim family

of Beirut. She grew up in ‘Greater Syria’, in which unhindered travel between Beirut, Jerusalem and Damascus was possible, and wrote a series of newspaper articles calling on women to fight for their rights within the Ottoman Empire. In 1927 she caused a public scandal by removing her veil during a lecture at the American University of Beirut.

Later she translated Homer and Virgil into Arabic and fled from Jerusalem to Beirut following the establishment of Israel in 1948. She died in Beirut in 1986. These memoirs have long been acclaimed by Middle East historians as an essential resource for the social history of Beirut and the larger Arab world in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Generation Palestine: Voices from the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement Edited by Rich Wiles

The unique model of apartheid, colonisation and military

occupation that Israel imposes on the Palestinians, along with myriad violations of international law, have made Palestine the moral cause of a generation. Yet many people continue to ask, ‘what can we do?’

Generation Palestine helps to answer this question by bringing together Palestinian and international activists in the Boycott, Divestment

and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The movement aims to pressure Israel until it complies with International Law, mirroring the model that was successfully utilised against South African apartheid.

With essays written by a wide selection of contributors, Generation Palestine follows the BDS movement’s model of inclusivity and collaboration. Contributors include Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Ken Loach, Iain Banks, Ronnie Kasrils, Professor Richard Falk, Ilan Pappe, Omar Barghouti, Ramzy Baroud and Archbishop Attallah Hannah, alongside other internationally acclaimed artists, writers, academics and grassroots activists.

Shadow Lives: The Forgotten Women of the War on Terror by Victoria Brittain

Shadow Lives reveals the unseen side of the ‘9/11 wars’: their

impact on the wives and families of men incarcerated in Guantanamo, or in prison or under house arrest in Britain and the US. Victoria Brittain shows how these families have been made socially invisible and a convenient scapegoat for the state in order to exercise arbitrary powers under the cover of the ‘War on Terror’.

A disturbing exposé of the perilous state of freedom and

democracy in our society, the book reveals how a culture of intolerance and cruelty has left individuals at the mercy of the security services’ unverifiable accusations and punitive punishments.

Both a j’accuse and a testament to the strength and humanity of the families, Shadow Lives shows the methods of incarceration and social control being used by the British state and gives a voice to the families whose lives have been turned upside down. In doing so it raises urgent questions about civil liberties which no one can afford to ignore.

Doomed by Hope: Essays on Arab Theatre

Edited by Eyad Houssami

Doomed by Hope is a beautifully presented collection of essays

by writers and artists which traces the history of contemporary Arab theatre and its relationship to social change.

With contributors from Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Kuwait and Yemen, this book includes both academic discussions and personal narratives, alongside a number of specially commissioned portraits of contemporary Arab theatre artists. The essays revolve around the legacy of the late Syrian dramatist

Saadallah Wannous, whose monumental plays incited audiences to rise up against tyranny decades ago.

This unique book is one of the first English language volumes on Arab theatre. In a highly topical manner following the Arab Spring, it explores cultural practices – from reading plays in a classroom to performing in a security state and directing in theatres, prisons, and international festivals – in times of revolt.

The Dawn of the Arab Uprisings: End of an Old Order? Edited by Bassam Haddad, Rosie Bsheer and Ziad Abu-Rish

The Dawn of the Arab Uprisings sheds light on the historical

background and initial impact of the mass uprisings which have shaken the Arab world since December 2010. The book brings together the best writers from the online journal Jadaliyya, which has established itself as an unparalleled source of information and critical analysis on the Middle East.

The authors, many of whom live in the countries affected, provide unique understanding and first-hand accounts of events that have received superficial and partial coverage in Western and Arab media alike. While the book focuses on those states that have been most affected by the uprisings it also covers the impact on Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Palestine, and Iraq.

The Dawn of the Arab Uprisings covers the full range of issues involved in these historic events, from political economy and the role of social media, to international politics, gender, labour and the impact on culture, making this the ideal one-stop introduction to the events for the novice and specialist alike.

The Islamophobia Industry: How the Right Manufactures Fear of Muslims by Nathan Lean

The Islamophobia Industry is a disturbing account of the

rising tide of Islamophobia sweeping through the United States and Europe.

Nathan Lean takes us through a world of conservative bloggers, right-wing talk show hosts, evangelical religious leaders and politicians, all united in their quest to exhume the ghosts of 9/11 and convince their compatriots that Islam is the

enemy. Lean uncovers their scare tactics, reveals their motives and exposes the ideologies that drive their propaganda machine.

Situating Islamophobia within a long history of national and international phobias, The Islamophobia Industry challenges the narrative of fear that has for too long dominated discussions about Muslims and Islam.

The Palestine-Israel Conflict - Third Edition: A Basic Introduction by Gregory Harms with Todd M. Ferry

The Palestine-Israel conflict is the most notorious and

ingrained conflict of the twentieth, and now twenty-first, century. Yet the way it is reported in the media is often confusing, leading many to assume the hostilities stretch back to an ancient period.

The Palestine-Israel Conflict is the first book to provide a clear, accessible, and annotated introduction that covers the full

history of the region, from Biblical times until today. Perfect for the general reader, as well as students, it offers a comprehensive yet lucid rendering of the conflict, setting it in its proper historical context. Harms and Ferry show how today’s violence is very much a product of recent history, with its roots in the twentieth century.

This balanced account is now fully up to date, including the ongoing situation in Gaza, making it a valuable resource for anyone who wants a clear guide to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian territories, and its place in the history of Middle Eastern affairs.

Leila Khaled: Icon of Palestinian Liberation by Sarah Irving

Dubbed ‘the poster girl of Palestinian militancy’, Leila

Khaled’s image flashed across the world after she hijacked a passenger jet in 1969. The picture of a young, determined looking woman with a checkered scarf, clutching an AK-47, was as era-defining as that of Che Guevara.

In this intimate profile, based on interviews with Khaled and those who know her, Sarah Irving gives us the life-story behind the image. Key moments of Khaled’s turbulent

life are explored, including the dramatic events of the hijackings, her involvement in the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (a radical element within the PLO), her opposition to the Oslo peace process and her activism today.

Leila Khaled’s example gives unique insights into the Palestinian struggle through one remarkable life – from the tension between armed and political struggle, to the decline of the secular left and the rise of Hamas, and the role of women in a largely male movement.

Democratic Uprisings in the New Middle East: Youth, Technology, Human Rights, and US Foreign Policyby Mahmood Monshipouri

As Egypt retreats from its newly elected government and Syria

moves from one crisis to another, this book’s reflection on the Arab Spring could not be more timely.

Monshipouri’s account of the role of emotion, solidarity, and online activism is informed by several trips to the region that continue to this day. The uprisings were fueled by a demographic surge of young people unable to find employment and

frustrated by the lack of freedom, and now the elected regime has been ousted for failing to address these continuing circumstances. While modern technologies and social media may have brought new politics to the streets, organization on the ground trumps the enthusiasm of young protesters when it comes to shaping a country’s political future. How to turn elections into democracy in these post-conflict societies continues to be a daunting task, especially in countries with a longstanding history of military involvement in politics now experiencing a resurgence.

This book addresses all of these subjects in an engaging and accessible narrative.

The New Arab Revolutions That Shook the World

by Farhad Khosrokhavar

Long considered overwhelmingly resilient, Arab authoritarian

regimes have begun to fall in surprising manner. While the future of governance in these countries is unclear, the new Arab movements, largely secular and youthful, reveal a vital and ambitious new Arab generation. For these youth, radical Islam has lost its seductive appeal and religion is being marginalized. Women now are far more visibly active in societies long bound by tradition. The participants in the new movements prefer peaceful means,

but are prepared to fight if necessary to change the future. They are motivated by a new global awareness from the internet and the means provided by Facebook and other new media to quickly build massive, powerful movements.

Khosrokavar compares the different countries shaken by the protest movements and contextualizes the demands and claims of the determined, democratically minded participants. He also looks beyond the Arab world to show how the Arab revolutions are leaving a deep imprint on countries like Iran, where unsuccessful democratic movements began months before Tunisia and Egypt.

Inside Jihadism: Understanding Jihadi Movements Worldwide

by Farhad Khosrokhavar

Jihad is the most organized force against Western capitalism

since the Soviet era. Yet jihadism is multifaceted and complex, much broader than Al Qaeda alone.

In the first wide-ranging introduction to today’s rapidly growing jihadism, Khosrokhavar explains how two key movements variously influence jihadi activists. One, based in the Middle East, is more heavily influenced by Islamic religion and political thought. The other, composed of individuals

growing up or living mostly in Europe and Western democracies including the United States, is motivated by secular as well as religious influences.

Khosrokhavar interprets religious and lesser-known Arabic texts and the real-world economic and political dynamics that make jihadism a growing threat to Western democracies. Interviews with imprisoned jihadists on what motivated their plots and actions help the readers understand reality as seen by jihadists. The author concludes with recommendations to safeguard democracies from future jihadism.

Peace and Conflict 2014 by David A. Backer, Paul K. Huth and Jonathan Wilkenfeld

Peace and Conflict is a biennial publication that provides cutting-

edge data and analysis concerning domestic and international conflicts and corresponding peacebuilding activities. The book include forecasts of risks of political and social instability, as well as trends and patterns in conflict.

The 2014 edition focusses on the ‘micro level’ in the study of conflict and peacebuilding, such as social relationships below the level of the

nation-state, with attention to key topics such as ethnicity, climate change, foreign aid and sexual violence.

Peace and Conflict is a large-format, full-color resource with numerous graphs, tables, maps, and appendices dedicated to the visual and summary presentation of information. Crisp narratives are highlighted with pull-quote extracts emphasizing major findings.

Governing the World? Addressing “Problems without Passports” by Thomas G. Weiss

Problems posed by Syria’s chemical weapons attacks,

Egypt’s ouster of an elected government, and myriad other global dilemmas beg the question of whether and how the world can be governed. The challenge is addressing what former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan called “Problems without Passports” - environmental, economic, humanitarian, and political crises that threaten stability, prosperity, and even human survival.

Everything is globalised -

everything except politics, which remain imprisoned behind national borders. The world has changed, but our basic way of managing it has not. We pursue fitful, tactical, short-term, and local responses for actual or looming threats that require sustained, strategic, longer-run, and global actions.

With clarity and passion, Thomas G. Weiss argues for a diversity of organisational arrangements and a plurality of problem-solving strategies: the expansion of practical global governance that already exists; the harnessing of political and economic possibilities opened by the communications revolution; and a recommitment to - and overhauling of - the United Nations.

The Clash of Modernities: The Islamist Challenge to Jewish, Turkish, and Arab Nationalism by Khaldoun Samman

To understand the Middle East we must also understand

how the West produced a temporal narrative of world history in which all others were placed below them. In a landmark reinterpretation of Middle Eastern history, this book shows how Arabs, Muslims, Turks and Jews absorbed, revised, yet remained loyal to this Western vision. Turkish Kemalism and Israeli Zionism, in their efforts to push their people forward, accepted

the narrative almost wholeheartedly, eradicating what they perceived as “archaic” characteristics of their cultures. Arab nationalists negotiated a more culturally schizophrenic approach to appeasing the coloniser’s gaze. But so too, Samman argues, did the Islamists who likewise wanted to improve their societies. Their prescription was to reintroduce the prophetic stage that they believe - if the coloniser and their local Arab coconspirators hadn’t intervened - would have produced true civilisation. Samman’s account explains why Islamists broke more radically with the coloniser’s insult. For all these nationalists gender would be used as the measuring device of how well they did in relation to the coloniser’s gaze.

Gandhi and Beyond - Second Edition: Nonviolence for a New Political Age

by David Cortright

Is there room for nonviolence in a time of conflict and mass violence

exacerbated by economic crisis? Drawing on the legend and lessons of Gandhi, Cortright traces the history of nonviolent social activism through the twentieth century to the civil rights movement, the Vietnam era, and up to the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Gaza.

Gandhi and Beyond offers a critical evaluation and refinement

of Gandhi’s message, laying the foundation for a renewed and deepened dedication to nonviolence as the universal path to social progress.

In the second edition of this popular book, a new prologue and concluding chapter situate the message of nonviolence in recent events and document the effectiveness of nonviolent methods of political change. Cortright’s poignant ‘Letter to a Palestinian Student’ points toward a radical new strategy for achieving justice and peace in the Middle East. This book offers pathways of hope not only for a new American presidential administration but for the world.

Sixteen Million One: Understanding Civil War by Patrick M. Regan

Sixteen million people have died in civil wars in the past 50 years.

In view of that, civil wars may be the single most destabilising force in world politics today. The only greater killer is the suffering that pushes individuals into them. Civil wars create regional and global instability that threatens economic initiatives and political continuity. Preventing civil wars is a challenge that the policy community is ill-equipped to handle. Rwanda is an example - a tragedy that the world did nothing to stop. Iraq and Afghanistan are

tragedies the world did much to inflame. In Sixteen Million One Patrick M. Regan uses argument, evidence and intuition born of experience to provide an account of civil wars and the steps we can take to reduce them.
