‎Shakespeare Persia and the East‎

‎Washington DC: Mage Publishers 2008. Book. New. Cloth. First Hardback Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. No writer's work has been studied more closely or more often than the plays of William Shakespeare that master of language and peerless explorer of the human heart. Books about him number in the thousands yet "Shakespeare Persia and the East" brings a truly fresh perspective to this genius. In the three dozen plays he composed between 1590 and 1612 Shakespeare ranged far and wide in his imagination setting some of his tales in places as varied as Denmark Venice and Athens - while drawing on a rich array of imagery and lore from lands further east. This remarkable book by a lifelong student of Shakespeare Cyrus Ghani reveals how rich a source of inspiration those exotic Eastern realms were for the playwright. Elizabethan England was especially fascinated by Persia whose deep-rooted culture was then flourishing under the Safavid dynasty. An Englishman first visited there in 1562 two years before Shakespeare's birth.More contacts between England and Persia followed prompted by hopes of a lucrative trading relationship and a possible military alliance against the Ottoman Turks. A pair of English adventurers Anthony and Robert Sherley spent years attempting to establish these ties not always scrupulously and their story was well known to England's greatest dramatist. To illuminate the creative uses Shakespeare made of the East this book first looks at the life of the playwright himself then at the dynasties that did so much to shape England and Persia in that tumultuous age. Other sections in this book profile key figures in the efforts to forge a connection between the two lands with particular focus on the colourful Sherleys and their fatally ambitious sponsor the Earl of Essex - a great admirer of Shakespeare. The final section of this book briefly describes the plays and cites - their many allusions to the East - testimony that this literary giant was very much a man of his time. 187pp. Mage Publishers Hardcover‎

‎Egypt and the Second Palestinian Intifada : Policymaking with Multifaceted Commitments‎

‎Brighton and Portland: Sussex Academic Press 2011. Book. New. Cloth/Laminated Boards. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. With the outbreak of the Palestinian Intifadat al-Aqsa in September 2000 that followed the failure of the Camp David II summit the chain of belligerent events took Egypt by surprise. Facing a dilemma in its search for an appropriate policy towards the Palestinian-Israeli escalation this study argues that Egypt's policy towards the second Intifada may best be understood by scrutinising several circles of reference that directly affected its policymaking process throughout the long years of the bloody Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These circles of reference comprise interests and calculations derived from Egyptian internal issues; regional factors - Egypt's role and position in the Arab world in general and its relations with the Palestinians in particular; Egypt's relations with Israel; and its strategic ties with the United States. The growing strength and the expansion of the global Islamic terrorist network that challenges the stability of the present Arab regimes constitutes a lynchpin at every layer. Egypt's foreign policy is based on Realpolitik that is on pragmatic and material factors rather than on ideological or moral considerations. Safeguarding its national interests is Egypt's prime goal. In this regard Egypt considers the peace with Israel as a strategic national asset. For Mubarak's regime the abrogation of the peace treaty with Israel has never been an option even during the worst days of the Intifada. Mubarak has shown exemplary restraint throughout the conflict. Despite occasional harsh anti-Israeli statements aimed mainly at easing internal and external pressures Mubarak's regime can on the whole be seen as a responsible and stabilising factor vehemently striving to prevent regional escalation. This study is based primarily on Egyptian sources as well as interviews and conversations with senior members of the Al-Ahram Center for Strategic Studies. It also draws on other primary and secondary sources in Arabic Hebrew and English. The book is essential reading for all scholars involved and engaged with the Israel-Arab conflict. 149pp. Sussex Academic Press Hardcover‎

‎Asad in Search of Legitimacy : Message and Rhetoric in the Syrian Press under Hafiz and Bashar‎

‎Brighton and Portland: Sussex Academic Press 2005. Book. Fine. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. The Syrian regime ruled by the Ba'th socialist party and headed by presidents from the 'Alawi minority faces problems of legitimacy vis-a-vis its people which it tackles through powerful security organizations and the state media. The government media machine exists to express the regime's viewpoint in both local and external spheres and to promote acceptance of the legitimacy of Asad's presidency and government. The media also attempts to mobilize the masses to act in the service of the state by disseminating information which reflects Asad's position on current issues. The organs of the regime - army party security services national and local authorities - are proclaimed as acting by order of the president. While personal commitment to the legitimacy of Hafiz al-Asad is the principal 'article of faith' this message is supported by complementary messages - Asad being true to the Moslem faith; Asad as historic leader; Asad as the focus of identity of all Syrian citizens; the 'crimes' of the Moslem Brotherhood etc. - and vociferous political discourse. 302pp. N.B. 2 dents to rear board and rear D/J.

‎King Hussein and the Evolution of Jordan's Perception of a Political Settlement with Israel 1967-1988‎

‎Brighton: Sussex Academic Press 2006. Book. New. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Throughout the decade that predated the 1967 war Jordan's declared views regarding Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict were not basically different from those of the Arab consensus - namely rejection of Israel's legitimacy. In the wake of the war King Hussein was the first Arab leader to realise that in order to regain the recently lost territories which he considered a most vital and urgent task he and the other heads of state would have to offer Israel a meaningful quid pro quo. Hence the shift in Jordan's policy was twofold: a change of the traditional statements that had been made by the King and his officials prior to June 1967; and a change in the views expressed by Jordanian spokespersons vis-a-vis the declarations of other Arab leaders.209pp. Sussex Academic Press Hardcover‎

‎The Crypto-Jewish Mashhadis : The Shaping of Religious and Communal Identity in their Journey from Iran to New York‎

‎Brighton: Sussex Academic Press 2007. Book. New. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. This book tells the little-known story of a fascinating crypto-Jewish community through two centuries and three continents. Beginning as a precarious settlement of a few families in mid-eighteenth-century Mashhad an Islamic holy city in northern Iran the community grew into a closely-knit group in response to their forced conversion to Islam in 1839. Muslim hostility and a culture of memory sustained by intra-communal marriages reinforced their separate religious identity vesting it in strong family and communal loyalty. Mashhadi women became the main agents of the cultural transmission of communal identity and achieved social roles and high status uncharacteristic for contemporary Jewish and Muslim communities. The Mashhadis maintained a double identity - upholding Islam in public while tenaciously holding onto their Jewish identity in secret. The exodus from Mashhad after 1946 relocated the communal centre to Tehran and later to Israel and after the Khomeini revolution to New York. The relationship between the formation and retention of communal identity and memory practices - with interconnected issues of religion and gender - draws upon existing research on other crypto-faith communities such as the Judeoconversos the Moriscos and the French Protestants who through the special blend of memory-faith and ethnicity emerged strengthened from their underground period. For the immigration period the author challenges the old paradigm that "modernity and religion are mutually exclusive". The book also explores the sometimes uncomfortable yet intimate relationships that exist between seemingly incompatible ways of seeing the past both secular and religious.180pp. Sussex Academic Press Hardcover‎
