Book Synopsis The Politics and Culture of an Umayyad Tribe by : Mohammad Rihan
Download or read book The Politics and Culture of an Umayyad Tribe written by Mohammad Rihan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-04 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Umayyad caliphate, ruling over much of what is now the modern Middle East after the death of the Prophet Muhammad, governe from Damascus from 661 to750CE, when they were expelled by the Abbasids. Here, Mohammad Rihan sheds light on the tribal system of this empir, by looking at one of its Syrian tribes; the 'Amila, based around today's Jabal 'Amil in southern Lebanon. Using this tribe as a lens through which to examine the wider Umayyad world, he looks at the political structures and conflicts that prevailed at the time, seeking to nuance the understanding of the relationship between the tribes and the ruling elite. For Rihan, early Islamic political history can only be understood in the context of the tribal history. This book thus illustrates how the political and social milieu of the 'Amila tribe sheds light on the wider history of the Umayyad world. Utilizing a wide range of sources, from the books of genealogies to poetry, Rihan expertly portrays Umayyad political life. First providing a background on 'Amila's tribal structure and its functions and dynamics, Rihan then presents the pre-Islamic past of the tribe. Building on this, he then investigates the role the 'Amila played in the emergence of the Umayyad state to understand the ways in which political life developed for the tribes and their relations with those holding political power in the region. By exploring the literature, culture, kinship structures and the socio-political conditions of the tribe, this book highlights the ways in which alliances and divisions shifted and were used by caliphs of the period and offers new insights into the Middle East at a pivotal point in its early and medieval history. This historical analysis thus not only illuminates the political condition of the Umayyad world, but also investigates the ever-important relationship between tribal political structures and state-based rule.

Book Synopsis Confronting Fascism in the Arabic Jewish Press by : Lucia Admiraal
Download or read book Confronting Fascism in the Arabic Jewish Press written by Lucia Admiraal and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s and 1940s, Jews in the Middle East took part in extensive debates on fascism in the public sphere. How did the rise of fascism impact the ways in which Jews in the region envisioned the past, present and future? Confronting Fascism in the Arabic Jewish Press examines Jewish discussions on the positions and identities of Jews in the Middle East within the context of multifocal debates on fascism. Focussing on the Arabic Jewish press in Egypt, Lebanon and Syria, it studies the ideas of its editors and main contributors and their intellectual networks. Putting those debates within the context of social, political and national reorientations following the end of the Ottoman Empire, the book uses an ideas-based and conceptual approach to also connect this history to global debates on fascism centred on the concepts of race, civilization and religion. In doing so, it situates Jewish discussions on fascism in the Middle East not only at the heart of Arab intellectual history, but also as part of a globalizing public sphere during the interwar, war and immediate post-war periods (1933-1948).

In From Jihad to Politics, Jerome Drevon offers a comprehensive examination of the Syrian armed opposition, tracing the emergence of Jihadi groups in the conflict, their increasing dominance, and their political transformation. Drawing upon extensive field research and interviews with Syrian insurgents in northwestern Syria and Turkey, Drevon demonstrates how the context of a local conflict can shape combatants groups' behavior in unexpected ways. Further, he marshals unique evidence from the Arab world's most intense conflict of this century to explain why the trajectory of the broader transnational Jihadi movement has altered course in recent years.

Book Synopsis Islamic Movements by : The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research
Download or read book Islamic Movements written by The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research and published by Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research. This book was released on 2003-06-11 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islamic movements have and are still making a strong presence in political and social life in the Arab world over the past century and beyond. This is because of their goals and the methods they adopted to achieve them basically took the form of Islamization of their republic or the society, which has led to extended conflicts and clashes with some Arab political regimes. These confrontations impacted to a great extent political and social stability in these states. This book contains a number of articles that offer important viewpoints, readings and interpretations of a number of specialists in Islamic movements. Specifically, it examines the circumstances that led to the appearance of the movements and the relationship between the theory of these movements with its social and political practicality. The book also looks at the reasons, motives and effect on the Arab state of affairs that led these movements to achieve their goals of extremism - or moderation. These movements were known to take rejectionist and a hostile stand against democracy and political multiplicity. This stance justified their exclusion form the political process, leading to increased tension and instability. In order to avoid confrontation, it was necessary to allow their political participation, as they are an active power. This necessarily poses the question about the future of the movement in the shadow of this situation and regional and international variables, especially after accusations that some are associated with extremism and terrorism, and subsequently declaring war against them, whether militarily or legally. This includes altering statutes regarding their financing or even their legal existence, especially in Western countries.

Book Synopsis Understanding Political Islam by : François Burgat
Download or read book Understanding Political Islam written by François Burgat and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Political Islam retraces the human and intellectual development that led François Burgat to a very firm conviction: that the roots of the tensions that afflict the Western world’s relationship with the Muslim world are political rather than ideological. In his compelling account of the interactions between personal life-history and professional research trajectories, Burgat examines how the rise of political Islam has been expressed: first in the Arab world, then in its interactions with European and Western societies. An essential continuation of his work on Islamism, Burgat’s unique field research and ‘political trespassing’ marks an overdue challenge to the academic mainstream.

Book Synopsis Islamic Land Tax - Al-Kharaj by : Ghaida Khazna Katbi
Download or read book Islamic Land Tax - Al-Kharaj written by Ghaida Khazna Katbi and published by I.B. Tauris. This book was released on 2010-04-30 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exhaustive survey of the institution of al-Kharaj - land tax in Islam - Ghaida Khazna Katbi provides a comprehensive and minutely detailed history of a practice which evolved from an exigency of conquest into an essential pillar of the early Islamic state. At the time of the Muslim conquests, al-Kharaj constituted a tax on lands owned by non-Muslims. It gradually developed into an instrument of state under 'Umar bin al-Khattab and reached its most refined and complex form under the Abbasids.Katbi provides a thoroughly documented statistical analysis of the historical materials for each region of the early Islamic world, in the process examining the Byzantine and Sasanian models which the Arab administrators consulted and in some instances adopted. She reveals unprecedented source material including never-before published correspondence from Umayyad functionaries as well as other documents from the Caliphate, Umayyad and Abbasid periods.
