I Feel No Peace - Kaamil Ahmed - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

I Feel No Peace - Kaamil Ahmed - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Longlisted for the 2023 Moore Prize for Human Rights Writing Shortlisted for the 2024 Bread and Roses Award Rohingya men, women and children have been fleeing their homes for forty years. The tipping point came in August 2017, when almost 700,000 were wrung from Myanmar in a single military operation. Today, very few members of this Muslim minority remain in the country. Instead, they live mostly in Bangladesh’s refugee camps; or precariously in Malaysia, India, Thailand, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. With the Rohingya almost entirely in exile, I Feel No Peace is the first book-length exploration of their lives abroad, drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews and long-standing relationships within the diaspora. Kaamil Ahmed speaks to the families of snatched children, and people kidnapped to feed the human trafficking nourished by Rohingya suffering. Most disturbingly, he reveals the complicity of NGOs and the UN in the refugees’ plight. But Ahmed also uncovers resilience and hope; stories of how a scattered community survives. The lives uncovered in I Feel No Peace are complex, heart-breaking and unforgettable.

From Independence to Revolution - Gillian Kennedy - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

From Independence to Revolution - Gillian Kennedy - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

From Independence to Revolution tells the story of the complicated relationship between the Egyptian population and the nation''s most prominent political opposition -- the Islamist movement. Most commentators focus on the Muslim Brotherhood and radical jihadists constantly vying for power under successive authoritarian rulers, from Gamal Abdul Nasser to General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Yet the relationship between the Islamists and Egyptian society has not remained fixed. Instead, groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, radical jihadists and progressive Islamists like Tayyar al Masri have varied in their responses to Egypt''s socio-political transformation over the last sixty years, thereby attracting different sections of the Egyptian electorate at different times. From bread riots in the 1970s to the 2011 Tahrir Square uprising and the subsequent election of the Muslim Brotherhood''s Mohamed Morsi in 2012, Egypt''s Islamists have been countering authoritarian elites since colonial independence. This book is based on the author''s fieldwork interviews in Egypt and builds on comparative political approaches to the topic.It offers an account of Egypt''s contesting actors, demonstrating how a consistently fragmented Islamist movement and an authoritarian state have cemented political instability and economic decline as a persistent trend.

Islam and the Arab Revolutions - Usaama Al Azami - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Islam and the Arab Revolutions - Usaama Al Azami - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Arab revolutions of 2011 were a transformative moment in the modern history of the Middle East, as people rose up against long-standing autocrats throughout the region to call for ''bread, freedom and dignity''. With the passage of time, results have been decidedly mixed, with initial success stories like Tunisia contrasting with the emergence of even more repressive dictatorships in places like Egypt, with the backing of several Gulf states.Focusing primarily on Egypt, this book considers a relatively understudied dimension of these revolutions: the role of prominent religious scholars. While pro-revolutionary ulama have justified activism against authoritarian regimes, counter-revolutionary scholars have provided religious backing for repression, and in some cases the mass murder of unarmed protestors.Usaama al-Azami traces the public engagements and religious pronouncements of several prominent ulama in the region, including Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Ali Gomaa and Abdullah bin Bayyah, to explore their role in either championing the Arab revolutions or supporting their repression. He concludes that while a minority of noted scholars have enthusiastically endorsed the counter-revolutions, their approach is attributable less to premodern theology and more to their distinctly modern commitment to the authoritarian state.
