Sait-on que les « affaires » du voile dit islamique ne commencent pas en France dans les années 1980, mais que, dès la fin du xixe siècle, elles sont déjà au coeur des débats au sein du monde musulman ? En Iran, en Turquie, en Tunisie, en Égypte, avant de l’être en Europe, la question du voile, liée à celles de l’école et de la laïcité, s’est transformée en enjeu de société. Pour comprendre comment, depuis un siècle, un accessoire vestimentaire a pu susciter des controverses jusqu’au plus haut niveau des États et tenir le devant de la scène médiatique, Oissila Saaidia en repense ici entièrement la chronologie et la géographie. À partir du point de vue des principales intéressées – les femmes voilées –, mais aussi des époques, des lieux, des milieux, du contexte politique, social, économique, etc., cet ouvrage offre un panorama des différents voiles et foulards et une grande fresque historique dans une perspective dépassionnée. Une référence. Agrégée de l’Université en histoire et licenciée en langue arabe, Oissila Saaidia est professeur des Universités en histoire contemporaine à Lyon 2, membre du LARHRA (CNRS) et de l’ISERL (Institut supérieur d’étude des religions et de la laïcité). Elle a aussi dirigé l’Institut de recherche sur le Maghreb contemporain (CNRS) à Tunis. Elle a notamment publié L’Algérie catholique (XIXe-XXIe s.), prix d’Histoire Diane Potier-Boès de l’Académie française (2019)."

Winner of the Victoria Schuck award given by the American Political Science Association and an Honorable Mention in the Distinguished Book Award given by the Political Economy of World Systems section of the American Sociological Association Globalization may offer modern feminism its greatest opportunity and greatest challenge. Allowing communication and information exchange while also exacerbating economic and social inequalities, globalization has fostered the growth of transnational feminist networks (TFNs). These groups have used the Internet to build coalitions, lobby governments, and advance the goals of feminism. Globalizing Women explains how the negative and positive aspects of globalization have helped to create transnational networks of activists and organizations with common agendas. Sociologist Valentine M. Moghadam discusses six such feminist networks to analyze the organization, objectives, programs, and outcomes of these groups in their effort to improve conditions for women throughout the world. Moghadam also examines how "globalizing women" are responding to and resisting growing inequalities, the exploitation of female labor, and patriarchal fundamentalisms. This book is an important addition to literature exploring feminism as well as to the broader discussion of the impact of transnational social movements and organizations in the globalized world.

Berbers, also known as Imazighen, are the ancient inhabitants of North Africa, but rarely have they formed an actual kingdom or separate nation state. Ranging anywhere between 15-50 million, depending on how they are classified, the Berbers have influenced the culture and religion of Roman North Africa and played key roles in the spread of Islam and its culture in North Africa, Spain, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Taken together, these dynamics have over time converted to redefine the field of Berber identity and its socio-political representations and symbols, making it an even more important issue in the 21st century. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Berbers contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 200 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, places, events, institutions, and aspects of culture, society, economy, and politics. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Berbers.

The three concepts mentioned in the title of this volume imply the contact between two or more literary phenomena; they are based on similarities that are related to a form of ‘travelling’ and imitation or adaptation of entire texts, genres, forms or contents. Transfer comprises all sorts of ‘travelling’, with translation as a major instrument of transferring literature across linguistic and cultural barriers. Transfer aims at the process of communication, starting with the source product and its cultural context and then highlighting the mediation by certain agents and institutions to end up with inclusion in the target culture. Reception lays its focus on the receiving culture, especially on critcism, reading, and interpretation. Translation, therefore, forms a major factor in reception with the general aim of reception studies being to reveal the wide spectrum of interpretations each text offers. Moreover, translations are the prime instrument in the distribution of literature across linguistic and cultural borders; thus, they pave the way for gaining prestige in the world of literature. The thirty-eight papers included in this volume and dedicated to research in this area were previously read at the ICLA conference 2016 in Vienna. They are ample proof that the field remains at the center of interest in Comparative Literature.

This is a book on the 'inner Islam', the mystic Islam, known as Sufism. Sheikh Khaled is the current heir in a line of Sufi masters that dates back to the Prophet Mohamed, and his book is a generous testimony to the universality of religious truths. In our world, in which images of Islam are so linked with violence, we need an understanding that cuts to the heart of the matter -- the mystical heart -- transcending dogma, culture and fundamentalism. This book is based on the authentic spiritual experience of one who has lived this tradition for his entire life, and taught tens of thousands of others. Here we discover a path based on forgiveness, generosity, love and peace. A way that seeks to unite humankind in all its aspects -- body, mind and essence.
