Ali Tariq
The Clash of Fundamentalisms: Crusades Jihads and Modernity
U.S.A.: Verso. 2003 Tariq Ali puts the events of September 11 into sweeping historical perspective as he dissects both Islamic and Western fundamentalism. 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 in a horrific form with religious symbols playing a part on both sides: Allahs revenge God is on Our Side and God Bless America. The visible violence of September 11 was the response to the invisible violence that has been inflicted on countries like Afghanistan Pakistan Iraq Saudi Arabia Egypt Palestine and Chechnya. Some of this has been the direct responsibility of the United States and Russia. In this wide-ranging book that provides an explanation for both the rise of Islamic fundamentalism and new forms of Western colonialism Tariq Ali argues that many of the values proclaimed by the Enlightenment retain their relevance while portrayals of the American Empire as a new emancipatory project are misguided.

Goodwin Jan
Price of Honor: Muslim Women Lift the Veil of Silence on the Islamic World
New York: Plume / Penguin 1995 "In recent years the expanding movement of militant Islam has changed the way millions think behave dress and live but nowhere has its impact been more powerfully felt than in its dramatic often devastating effect on the lives of women. Award-winning journalist Jan Goodwin traveled through ten Islamic countries and interviewed hundreds of Muslim women from professionals to peasants from royalty to rebels. The result is an unforgettable journey into a world where women are confined isolated even killed for the sake of a "code of honor" created and zealously enforced by men. Price of Honor brings to life a world in which women have become pawns in a bitter power game and gives readers a provocative look inside Muslim society today. ". Soft Cover. Near Fine.

Boas Adrian J
Crusader Archaeology : The Material Culture of the Latin East
London: Routledge 1999 "One of the most fascinating and intriguing aspects of historical research is the study of how invading societies adapt to a strange environment undergoing change themselves as well as influencing their new neighbours and surroundings. From the end of the eleventh century there were Christian states in the Levant which were hybrid societies resulting from the meeting of the very different cultures of the East and West. Although a wealth of literature has been written on the Crusading movement affording a clearer picture of what the Crusades entailed little has been written to illuminate Frankish life in"The lands beyond the sea". Outremer Crusader Archeology draws together recently excavated material from Israel Cyprus Syria and Jordan to examine what life was life for the Crusaders in their new territory and how they were influenced by the local population. Chapters encompass Frankish urban and rural settlements including agriculture industry the differing architecture employed by the military the church public and private structures arts and crafts leisure pursuits death and burial customs and building techniques. This highly illustrated volume comprises a graphic portrayal of the period and makes fascinating reading for all those interested in the Middle Ages and particularly in the Crusaders. 267 pages illus.bibliography.index. 1st UK Ed.
