The post-modern Abyss and the new politics of Islam: Assabiyah revisited. Essays in honor of Serif Mardin.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In English. 172 p. "We are here taking Turkey as our venue to discuss the rise of Islamic persuasion of more recent times. Turkish case is no Taliban or Afghanistan, no Pakistan or Yemen. Turkish case we think represents what is today new in the Islamic world more than the aforementioned examples. What is remarkable in the Turkish case is that the rise of Islamic practice has come on the heels of a century of secularization which only had accelerated in the last half of that hundred years.". Islam speaks of two languages today in Turkey: a "language of dispossesed" and a "language of (a)possessing". Serif Mardin, as a prominent sociologist with his work "Center-Periphery Relations: A Key to Turkish Politics?" well anticipated and clarified this new Islamic politics. Birtek and Toprak aim to celebrate several aspects of Mardin's work with articles that advert this new Islamic era through a view of history and policy. ISLAM Philosophy Modern Turkey Turkish Republic Turkish intelligent Intelligentsia.

Turkish Islam and Europe.= Turkischer Islam und Europa. Europe and Christianity as reflected in Turkish Muslim discourse & Turkish Muslim life in the diaspora. Papers of the Istanbul Workshop, October 1996.
Fine English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English and German. 352 p. Turkish Islam and Europe.= Turkischer Islam und Europa. Europe and Christianity as reflected in Turkish Muslim discourse & Turkish Muslim life in the diaspora. Papers of the Istanbul Workshop, October 1996. This book is the fruit of a workshop which we organized in Istanbul in October 1996. We wished to examine Turkish Muslim views of Europe since 1980 and the situation of Turkish Muslim migrants in Germany. So we decided to invite some Turkish researchers and scholars on a private basis and ask them to present their work and experience as far as it touched on the subject and to engage in discussion on their papers. The book has three prominent themes. The first is the emergence of new orientations on all sides towards Muslims and Europeans living together at the present time, and possibly coming to practical cooperation and dialogue. The second is Turkish Muslim self-understanding and views of Europe, as far as they are expressed in intellectual terms. The third is the ways in which Turkish Muslim life in the European diaspora is organized. It will be clear that these three themes are interrelated and consequently the three parts of the book are not independent of each other.

Fine English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 16 cm). In Turkish. 544 p. Signed and inscription by author. Islam'a göre cahiliye ve ehl-i kitab örf ve adetleri. Islam'a göre Cahiliye ve Ehl-i Kitab örf ve adetleri Islam'in ilk dönemine iliskin yapilmis en kapsamli çalismalardan biridir. Çünkü bu çalisma, Islam tarihi boyunca yapilagelen kimi temel tartismalara yönelik önemli cevaplar tasimaktadir. Islam`in ortaya çiktigi ilk dönem arap toplumunun yasayan örgü ve yine o dönemdeki Yahudi ve Hristiyanlarin mevcut inançlari ile Islami hükümler arasindaki iliski, her dönem dikkati çeken ve tartisilan konularin basinda gelmistir. Batili arastirmacilar, Hz. Peygamber`in Kur`an disinda hiçbir Sünnet ya da Hadis birakmadigini, ilk Islam toplumun uyguladigi Sünnetin, Hz. Peygamber`in Sünneti olmayip, Islam öncesi araplarin örfü oldugunu ileri teskil eden bu çalisma, ibadetler, sosyal iliskiler ve hukuk alaninda, cahiliye devri araplarinin ve Ehl-i Kitab`in örf ve adetleri ile Islami hükümler arasindaki ilginin mahiyetini ortaya koymaktadir.

Women and sexuality in Muslim societies.
Fine English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 16 cm). In English. [xii], 455 p. Women and sexuality in Muslim societies. The essays in this book show that the sexual oppression of Muslim women is not the result of an ''Islamic'' vision of sexuality, but a combination of political, social and economic inequalities throughout the ages.However, within this context religion is often misused as a powerful instrument of control, with the goal of legitimizing violations of women's human rights. Contents: Part I. Islam, Sexuality and Sexual Politics. Part II. Pleasure, desire and Love. Part III. Virginity, Marriage and Control of Women's Sexuality. Part IV. Eroticism, Love and Sexuality between Women. Part V. Sexual Harassment, Rape and Sexual Abuse. Part VI. Diverse Practices, Diverse Strategies.

GERALDINE BROOKS.
Nine parts of desire: The hidden world of Islamic women.
Very Good English Paperback. Pbo. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 13 cm). In English. 255 p., 1 map. Nine parts of desire: The hidden world of Islamic women. As a prizewinning foreign correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, Geraldine Brooks spent six years covering the Middle East through wars, insurrections, and the volcanic upheaval of resurgent fundamentalism. Yet for her, headline events were only the backdrop to a less obvious but more enduring drama: the daily life of Muslim women. Nine Parts of Desire is the story of Brooks' intrepid journey toward an understanding of the women behind the veils, and of the often contradictory political, religious, and cultural forces that shape their lives. Defying our stereotypes about the Muslim world, Brooks' acute analysis of the world's fastest growing religion deftly illustrates how Islam's holiest texts have been misused to justify repression of women, and how male pride and power have warped the original message of a once liberating faith.

AVNER BEN-ZAKEN.
Hay bin Yakzan'i okumak. [= Reading Hayy Ibn Yaqzan. A cross-cultural history of autodidacticism]. Translated by Yavuz Alogan.
New Turkish Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Turkish. 264 p. Hay bin Yakzan'i okumak. [= Reading Hayy Ibn Yaqzan. A cross-cultural history of autodidacticism]. Translated by Yavuz Alogan. Commonly translated as "The Self-Taught Philosopher" or "The Improvement of Human Reason," Ibn-Tufayl's story Hayy Ibn-Yaqzan inspired debates about autodidacticism in a range of historical fields from classical Islamic philosophy through Renaissance humanism and the European Enlightenment. Avner Ben-Zaken's account of how the text traveled demonstrates the intricate ways in which autodidacticism was contested in and adapted to diverse cultural settings. In tracing the circulation of the Hayy Ibn-Yaqzan, Ben-Zaken highlights its key place in four far-removed historical moments. He explains how autodidacticism intertwined with struggles over mysticism in twelfth-century Marrakesh, controversies about pedagogy in fourteenth-century Barcelona, quarrels concerning astrology in Renaissance Florence, and debates pertaining to experimentalism in seventeenth-century Oxford. In each site and period, Ben-Zaken recaptures the cultural context that stirred scholars to relate to ?ayy Ibn-Yaq?an and demonstrates how the text moved among cultures, leaving in its wake translations, interpretations, and controversies as various as the societies themselves. Pleas for autodidacticism, Ben-Zaken shows, not only echoed within close philosophical discussions; they surfaced in struggles for control between individuals and establishments. Presented as self-contained histories, these four moments together form a historical collage of autodidacticism across cultures from the late Medieval era to early modern times. The first book-length intellectual history of autodidacticism, this novel, thought-provoking work will interest a wide range of historians, including scholars of the history of science, philosophy, literature, Europe, and the Middle East.
