Gandhara : The Memory of Afghanistan
Paris France: Assouline 2002. Paris: Assouline 2002. Hardcover binding 79 pp. Gandhara is a historic region in what was the northwest of ancient India currently Pakistan and Afghanistan that flourished in the first centuries A.D. with a hybrid of Greek and Buddhist Indian culture. The Gandhara school incorporated motifs and techniques from classical Western art while remaining Indian at its core. It includes the earliest examples of Buddha in human form often with features resembling the Greek god Apollo. Magnificently sculpted statuary and friezes many only fragments are shown here as well as the colossal Buddhas of Bamiya�enormous figures sculpted into a cliff face�that were recently dynamited by Afghanistan's Taliban regime. Each volume in this series of slim and handsome monographs uses full- and double-page photographs undiluted with captions to reveal a particular genius of design art or fashion. The quality of the photos is quite high a foreword or preface by an author close to the subject establishes the importance of the work seen and the illustrations are captioned in a thumbnail appendix.

The Turkish Experiment in Democracy 1950-1975
Boulder CO.: Westview Press 1977.

This book is based largely on Turkish sources including material gathered by the author in his extensive interviews with participants in this continuing experiment. 474 pp. Minor small light scuff mark to lower section of front dustjacket cover.

Mahdavi Shireen
For God Mammon And Country: A Nineteenth Century Persian Merchant: Haj Muhammad Hassan Amin Al-zarb 1834-1898
Boulder CO.: Westview Press 1999. This scholarly text is the first major account of the life and times of a merchant in nineteenth-century Iran or in the Middle East. Haj Muhammad Amin al-Zarb 1834-1898 rose from humble beginnings to become one of Iran�s wealthiest and most prominent merchants. He built up his wealth as a money changer a trader in textiles precious stones opium carpets agricultural products and staple foodstuffs amongst other goods and judicious transactions in land. Adept at cultivating powerful connections he became the principal supplier of luxury goods to the Shah his court and members of the ruling elite; served as private banker to the Shah his prime minister and influential bureaucrats; and became Master of the Mint. He had agents in all the main towns of Persia and Europe with correspondents in Asia and America.Amin al-Zarb was also an entrepreneur industrialist and innovator. Determined to bring to Iran the advances he had witnessed in Europe he invested in mining established factories with imported machinery such as glass china and silk reeling built a railway line and urged the Shah to establish a national bank. He also became an advocate of reform and curbs on arbitrary rule. He befriended the famous Islamic reformer Jamal al-Din Afghani. An innovator in business Amin al-Zarb led a very traditional life at home. Gifted at making money he was nevertheless a pious man who contributed generously to religious and charitable causes. Shireen Mahdavi draws on hitherto unpublished family archives to write not only a biography of a fascinating nineteenth-century merchant but also a social history of the period. Her portrait of Amin al-Zarb also provides important insights into the economic social and political role played by merchants in Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East in the nineteenth century. 286 pp. Illustrated.

Longva Anh Nga
Walls Built On Sand: Migration Exclusion And Society In Kuwait
Boulder CO.: Westview Press 1997. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990 the sight of tens of thousands of non-Kuwaiti Arabs Indians East Asians and Westerners fleeing or trapped under occupation made the outside world suddenly aware of a singular fact of Kuwaiti society�that Kuwaitis are an absolute minority in their own country. Basing her analysis on extensive fieldwork and archival research the author examines the social dimension of labor migration to Kuwait since independence in 1961 exploring how the presence of over one million foreign workers has influenced the way Kuwaitis organize their lives and perceive themselves. In particular Longva looks at the relations between two sharply differentiated social categories and the politics of exclusion that have allowed Kuwaitis to protect their rights and privileges as citizens against infringement by the huge influx of expatriates. Longva examines the little-studied system of kafala or sponsorship under which all foreign workers enter and reside in the country showing how it has become the most critical source of power for native Kuwaitis vis-�-vis immigrants. She also addresses aspects of ethnicity and class describes the life of expatriates and looks at developments in gender relations and the role of women in building the national identity in the context of migration and modernization. 266 pgs.
