The spread of Salafism--often referred to as Wahhabism--in the West has intrigued and alarmed observers since the attacks of 9/11. Many see it as a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam that condones the subjugation of women and fuels Jihadist extremism. This view depicts Salafi women as the hapless victims of a fanatical version of Islam. Yet in Britain, growing numbers of educated women--often converts or from less conservative Muslim backgrounds--are actively choosing to embrace Salafism's literalist beliefs and strict regulations, including heavy veiling, wifely obedience, and seclusion from non-related men. How do these young women reconcile such difficult demands with their desire for university education, fulfilling careers, and suitable husbands? How do their beliefs affect their love lives and other relationships? And why do they become Salafi in the first place? Anabel Inge has gained unprecedented access to Salafi womens groups in the United Kingdom to provide the first in-depth account of their lives. Drawing on more than two years of ethnographic fieldwork in London, she examines why Salafism is attracting so many young Somalis, Afro-Caribbean converts, and others. But she also reveals the personal dilemmas they confront. This ground-breaking, lucid, and richly detailed book will be of vital interest to scholars, policy-makers, journalists, and general readers.

We often think of music in terms of sounds intentionally organized into patterns, but music performed in signed languages poses considerable challenges to this sound-based definition. Performances of sign language music are defined culturally as music, but they do not necessarily make sound their only--or even primary--mode of transmission. How can we analyze and understand sign language music? And what can sign language music tell us about how humans engage with music more broadly? In Seeing Voices: Analyzing Sign Language Music, author Anabel Maler argues that music is best understood as culturally defined and intentionally organized movement, rather than organized sound. This re-definition of music means that sign language music, rather than being peripheral or marginal to histories and theories about music, is in fact central and crucial to our understanding of all musical expression and perception. Sign language music teaches us a great deal about how, when, and why movement becomes musical in a cultural context, and urges us to think about music as a multisensory experience that goes beyond the sense of hearing. Using a blend of tools from music theory, cognitive science, musicology, and ethnography, Maler presents the history of music in Deaf culture from the early nineteenth century and contextualizes contemporary Deaf music through ethnographic interviews with Deaf musicians. She also provides detailed analyses of a wide variety of genres of sign language music--showing how Deaf musicians create musical parameters like rhythm and melody through the movement of their bodies. The book centers the musical experience and knowledge of Deaf persons, bringing the long and rich history of sign language music to the attention of music scholars and lovers, and challenges the notion that music is transmitted from the hearing to the Deaf. Finally, Maler proposes that members of the Deaf, DeafBlind, hard-of-hearing, and signing communities have a great deal to teach us about music. As she demonstrates, sign language music shows us that the fundamental elements of music such as vocal technique, entrainment, pulse, rhythm, meter, melody, meaning, and form can thrive in visual and tactile forms of music-making.

Interpersonal trust is the essential glue that bonds individuals into a unified team, enables collaboration, and motivates the members to create something more innovative together than could be achieved alone. It is the distinguishing factor between a thriving team and a troubled one. However, teachers are often placed into partnerships without any training on how to generate reciprocal trust.Master educators Anabel Jensen and Kathleen Gibbons combine their decades of teaching experience and their own research to define the key pillars of trust and the pitfalls that erode it. Their program offers effective strategies and assessment to develop this foundational bond as well as remedies to repair the relationship as team members continually move in and out of trust. TRUST or DOUBT guides team members to express their best selves so that their collective efforts amplify their potential. Reviews for TRUST or DOUBT"It is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve success without gaining the trust of one's team. TRUST or DOUBT is filled with valuable strategies and exercises to help people foster this vital competence." -Denise Pope, PhD, co-founder of Challenge Success, author of Doing School and Senior Lecturer at the Stanford University Graduate School of Education."Teamwork has never been easy and in recent years, it has become even more complex. Learning how to enable conditions that foster effective teamwork is critical. This book is a key resource to help you do just that." -Diane Ketelle, author of Tread Lightly, Lead Boldly and Dean, School of Education, Mills College"The ability to earn trust is the # 1 task for any administratoror educator. TRUST or DOUBT is a very practical and exemplary guide that lays out an easy-to-follow path to develop this important skill." -Susan Charles, Palo Alto principal for 15 years and educator for 40 years.
