Arab Representations of the Occident

Arab Representations of the Occident

Rasheed El-Enany

Routledge
2011
nidottu
This is one of the first books in English to explore Arab responses to Western culture and values in modern Arab literature. Through in-depth research El-Enany examines the attitudes as expressed mainly through works of fiction written by Arab authors during the twentieth, and, to a lesser extent, nineteenth century. It constitutes an original addition to the age-old East-West debate, and is particularly relevant to the current discussion on Islam and the West.Alongside raising highly topical questions about stereotypical ideas concerning Arabs and Muslims in general, the book explores representations of the West by the foremost Arab intellectuals over a two-century period, up to the present day, and will appeal to those with an interest in Islam, the Middle East, nationalism and the so-called ‘Clash of Civilizations’.

Private Industrial Investment in Pakistan

Private Industrial Investment in Pakistan

Rashid Amjad

Cambridge University Press
2007
pokkari
This book examines the behaviour of private industrial investment in Pakistan in the 1960s, in the first half of which it rose at an unprecedented rate, followed by sharp decline, and then stagnation for the rest of the period. The approach adopted is institutional and empirical. The developments studied appeared to be very much the product of the institutional setting of Pakistan, which was different from that of most advanced countries but possibly riot so dissimilar from that in many other developing countries.

From Presence to Power: How to Take on the Fights That Matter and Win

From Presence to Power: How to Take on the Fights That Matter and Win

Rashad Robinson

ONE WORLD
2026
sidottu
Why do some fights for justice stall while others succeed? A seasoned strategist reveals the difference between presence and power--and offers everyday people tools to turn outrage into outcomes that stick. Over two decades on the frontlines of social change in leadership roles at GLAAD and Color Of Change, Rashad Robinson helped steer campaigns that challenged media companies, forced tech giants to the table, and made prosecutors answer to their communities. He's seen what works and what doesn't--and he argues that too often we confuse visibility with power. Marches, hashtags, and headlines (what he calls presence) create urgency, but they're not enough. Real progress comes when we change the rules (his definition of power) and shift the incentives that shape our world. This book offers a set of clear ideas, stories, and tools to help everyday people build real leverage in systems designed to prevent them from doing so. Robinson exposes the myths that keep us stuck, lifts the curtain on key battles from the last two decades, and gives readers ways to play a role. At a time when follower counts are mistaken for impact, Robinson offers something better: a hopeful, practical guide to playing the long game and winning the kind of change we can all feel.

iUniverse

"Alina of Azimabad provides a rare and valuable insight into issues being faced by women in South Asia. Alina, the character created by the author tells an extraordinary and remarkable account of her life spread over almost half a century. The story starts off in the aftermath of the partition of India. It is a saga of the hidden world of feudalism with its exploitation and degeneration.The account also stresses the point that Pakistan is not inhabited by fanatics and is as normal a country as any other.The author has very vividly touched upon social problems in his work and has specifically addressed gender issues. His strength lies in his ability to express himself with ease. The language he uses is simple, crisp and endowed with brevity. He has also introduced several common words of South Asian origin into the English Language. The narrative is very readable and interesting.

Listen to the Beat of the Drum: Essence of Servant Leadership

Listen to the Beat of the Drum: Essence of Servant Leadership

Rashid Faisal

Black Ivy Scholar Publications
2018
nidottu
In this small volume, Rashid Faisal, addresses the void in American leadership through the lens of Dr. King's servant leadership philosophy and his social activism during the Civil Rights movement. In eight lectures contained within the pages of this modest text, Faisal challenges the reader to embrace a new definition of leadership based on five servant leadership principles found in studying the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This text represents a small contribution to the global commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's assassination on April 4, 1968. The 50th anniversary of King's tragic death marks an opportunity for leaders to reflect on the triad of social injustices King identified during the last years of his life: racism, materialism and militarism.

Germany, Poland, and the Danzig Question, 1937–1939

Germany, Poland, and the Danzig Question, 1937–1939

Rashid A. Halloway

Hamilton Books
2021
nidottu
Germany, Poland, and the Danzig Question, 1937—1939 explores the events that led to the Nazi occupation of Danzig, which was the catalyst of World War II. In this book Rashid A. Halloway sheds light on German, Polish, and British diplomatic negotiations at the highest level during a time when diplomacy was at a premium due to the perceived threat to peace in Europe under Hitler. Halloway presents a study of intense diplomatic negotiations in the pre-World Ware II years between Germany and Poland relating to Germany’s desire to gain access, through Poland along the Baltic Sea, to East Prussia, more particularly to the Free City of Danzig, by establishing a secure transport route through that part of Poland, commonly referred to as the “Polish Corridor” and the negative result.

The Iron Cage: The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood

The Iron Cage: The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood

Rashid Khalidi

BEACON PRESS
2007
nidottu
At a time when a lasting peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis seems virtually unattainable, understanding the roots of their conflict is an essential step in restoring hope to the region. In The Iron Cage, Rashid Khalidi, one of the most respected historians and political observers of the Middle East, homes in on Palestinian politics and history. By drawing on a wealth of experience and scholarship, Khalidi provides a lucid context for the realities on the ground today, a context that has been, until now, notably lacking in our discourse. The story of the Palestinian search to establish a state begins in the mandate period immediately following the breakup of the Ottoman Empire, the era of British control, when fledgling Arab states were established by the colonial powers with assurances of eventual independence. Mandatory Palestine was a place of real promise, with unusually high literacy rates and a relatively advanced economy. But the British had already begun to construct an iron cage to hem in the Palestinians, and the Palestinian leadership made a series of errors that would eventually prove crippling to their dream of independence. The Palestinians' struggle intensified in the stretch before and after World War II, when colonial control of the region became increasingly unpopular, population shifts began with heavy Jewish immigration from Eastern Europe, and power began to devolve to the United States. In this crucial period, Palestinian leaders continued to run up against the walls of the ever-constricting iron cage. They proved unable to achieve their long-cherished goal of establishing an independent state--a critical failure that set a course for the decades that followed, right through the eras of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the Palestinian Authority, and Hamas. Rashid Khalidi's engrossing narrative of this torturous history offers much-needed perspective for anyone concerned about peace in the Middle East.

The Iron Cage: The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood

Rashid Khalidi

BEACON PRESS

In Resurrecting Empire, Rashid Khalidi dissected the failures of colonial policy over the entire span of the modern history of the Middle East, predicted the meltdown in Iraq that we are now witnessing with increasing horror, and offered viable alternatives for achieving peace in the region. His newest book, The Iron Cage, hones in on Palestinian politics and history. Once again Khalidi draws on a wealth of experience and scholarship to elucidate the current conflict, using history to provide a clear-eyed view of the situation today. The story of the Palestinian search to establish a state begins in the era of British control over Palestine and stretches between the two world wars, when colonial control of the region became increasingly unpopular and power began to shift toward the United States. In this crucial period, and in the years immediately following World War II, Palestinian leaders were unable to achieve the long-cherished goal of establishing an independent state-a critical failure that throws a bright light on the efforts of the Palestinians to create a state in the many decades since 1948. By frankly discussing the reasons behind this failure, Khalidi offers a much-needed perspective for anyone concerned about peace in the Middle East.

Brokers of Deceit

Brokers of Deceit

Rashid Khalidi

Beacon Press
2014
pokkari
Winner of the 2014 Lionel Trilling Book Award An examination of the failure of the United States as a broker in the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, through three key historical moments For more than seven decades the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people has raged on with no end in sight, and for much of that time, the United States has been involved as a mediator in the conflict. In this book, " "acclaimed historian Rashid Khalidi zeroes in on the United States s role as the purported impartial broker in this failed peace process. Khalidi closely analyzes three historical moments that illuminate how the United States involvement has, in fact, thwarted progress toward peace between Israel and Palestine. The first moment he investigates is the Reagan Plan of 1982, when Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin refused to accept the Reagan administration s proposal to reframe the Camp David Accords more impartially. The second moment covers the period after the Madrid Peace Conference, from 1991 to 1993, during which negotiations between Israel and Palestine were brokered by the United States until the signing of the secretly negotiated Oslo accords. Finally, Khalidi takes on President Barack Obama s retreat from plans to insist on halting the settlements in the West Bank. Through in-depth research into and keen analysis of these three moments, as well as his own firsthand experience as an advisor to the Palestinian delegation at the 1991 pre Oslo negotiations in Washington, DC, Khalidi reveals how the United States and Israel have actively colluded to prevent a Palestinian state and resolve the situation in Israel s favor. "Brokers of Deceit" bares the truth about why peace in the Middle East has been impossible to achieve: for decades, US policymakers have masqueraded as unbiased agents working to bring the two sides together, when, in fact, they have been the agents of continuing injustice, effectively preventing the difficult but essential steps needed to achieve peace in the region.
