Book Synopsis The Headscarf as a Business Card by : Juliane Kanitz
Download or read book The Headscarf as a Business Card written by Juliane Kanitz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-10 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her book, Juliane Kanitz not only examines the frequently asked question of why Muslim women wear a headscarf, but also concentrates on how it is worn. She is concerned with the cultural, aesthetic and fashionable preferences of women and not primarily with the religious motives that are otherwise often the focus of attention. In addition to a contribution to research on the Muslim headscarf, the author presents theoretical and empirical supplements to Islamic fashion and Islam in Germany as a whole. She also discusses the debate on Europeanization, in which arguments against Muslims are put forward, and develops some perspectives on the topic of the headscarf in Germany that have not yet been taken into account, made possible by the new perspective of fashion.

Book excerpt: 'A mesmerising tale of secrets and lies' - VAL MCDERMID 'As good as it gets' - DENISE MINA 'An arresting new talent' - CHRIS BROOKMYRE NOT EVERY CHILD IS A BLESSING... It was Ali who found the body of a murdered newborn baby, hidden in the garden of her convent school. In an Ireland riven by battles of religion and reproduction, the case becomes a media sensation, even as the church tries to suppress it. But this is not the first dead baby Ali has found. For Detectives Vincent Swan and Gina Considine, the pressure to discover the identity of the dead child is little help against a community with secrets to protect. Gina knows all too well how many of Ireland's girls are forced to make difficult decisions in terrible circumstances, silenced by shame. Is Ali one of those girls? Because what evidence there is, points to Ali herself... A compelling mystery that will keep you gripped until the last page, perfect for readers of Val McDermid, Denise Mina, Tana French and Jo Spain. *** WINNER OF THE DUNDEE INTERNATIONAL BOOK PRIZE *** ________________________________________ 'A superb debut' - IRISH TIMES 'A vivid thriller.

Book Synopsis The Headscarf Controversy by : Hilal Elver
Download or read book The Headscarf Controversy written by Hilal Elver and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hilal Elver offers an in-depth study of the escalating controversy over the right of Muslim women to wear headscarves. Examining legal and political debates in Turkey, several European countries including France and Germany, and the United States, Elver shows the troubling exclusion of pious Muslim women from the public sphere in the name of secularism, democracy, liberalism, and women's rights. After evaluating political actions and court decisions from the national level of individual governments to the international sphere of the European Court of Human Rights, Elver concludes that judges and legislators are increasingly influenced by social pressures concerning immigration and multiculturalism, and by issues such as Islamophobia, the "war on terror," and security concerns. She shows how these influences have resulted in a failure on the part of many Western governments to recognize and protect essential individual freedoms. Employing a critical legal theory perspective to the headscarf controversy, Elver argues that law can be used to change underlying social conditions shaping the role of religion, and also the position of women in modern society. The Headscarf Controversy demonstrates how changes in law across nations can be used to restore state commitments to human rights.

Book excerpt: Crown Prince Sultan Qurayshi has just expressed his support for the king’s new political reforms despite the wishes of many of the royal family who want the king stripped of his power. After submitting an emergency clause to the legislature, the crown prince ensures the king retains all his newly-founded powers of legislature and presidency, officially suspending democracy. Two months later amid chaos in the kingdom, Faisal Qurayshi, a member of the Royal Strategic Committee, receives an urgent call from his cousin to escape the country with his son, Mansour. A short time later after the king dies and Mansour’s great uncle ascends the throne, the family is reunited and seemingly all is well—until Mansour agrees to go undercover as a spy. After he eventually becomes a civil engineer whose mission is to help the royal family learn ways to transform the country and make it better for everyone, he uncovers corruption in the kingdom and Arlandica and soon realizes that good always defeats evil wherever it hides. In this novel inspired by true events, a prince goes undercover in the Kingdom of Terra Qurayshia where he must keep his identity secret to help the royal family create a better monarchy.
Download or read book Culture written by Michael H. Agar and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture: How to Make It Work in a World of Hybrids offers a compelling and original way to think about promoting connections across human differences in our global society. This book provides a fresh vision for the core anthropological concept of “culture,” one attuned to our contemporary global society where people receive hybrid cultural influences from many places in many ways. Providing a stimulating look at one of the most basic topics in social science, it is written without academic jargon, is rich in humor, and is replete with provocative examples, making it accessible to undergraduate students in anthropology and other social sciences as well as to scholars and non-academic readers in fields where the fostering of intercultural (or, as this book argues, inter-hybrid) communications is vital. Michael Agar explores two meanings of culture: culture as a label for the beliefs and practices of a specific group, and culture as marking the boundary between modern humans and our ancestors together with the rest of the animal kingdom (although this book acknowledges that that boundary has changed to a slippery slope). By looking back at the emergence of language and culture, through a broad range of the social and natural sciences, those human universals that make connections across human differences possible—as well as those that constrain that ability—are identified. This book concludes with a discussion of social perspective taking as a promising approach toward the development of a shared “languaculture” by any group of diverse—hybrid—humans who need to work together to accomplish whatever task is at hand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young Yemeni Israeli woman learns of her mother’s secret romance in a dramatic journey through lost family stories, revealing the unbreakable bond between a mother and a daughter—the debut novel of an award-winning literary voice. “A gorgeous, gripping novel filled with unforgettable characters.”—Elizabeth Graver, author of Kantika 1950. Thousands of Yemeni Jews have immigrated to the newly founded Israel in search of a better life. In an overcrowded immigrant camp in Rosh Ha’ayin, Yaqub, a shy young man, happens upon Saida, a beautiful girl singing by the river. In the midst of chaos and uncertainty, they fall in love. But they weren’t supposed to; Saida is married and has a child, and a married woman has no place befriending another man. 1995. Thirty-something Zohara, Saida’s daughter, has been living in New York City—a city that feels much less complicated than Israel, where she grew up wishing that her skin was lighter, that her illiterate mother’s Yemeni music was quieter, and that the father who always favored her was alive. She hasn’t looked back since leaving home, rarely in touch with her mother or sister, Lizzie, and missing out on her nephew Yoni’s childhood. But when Lizzie calls to tell her their mother has died, she gets on a plane to Israel with no return ticket. Soon Zohara finds herself on an unexpected path that leads to shocking truths about her family—including dangers that lurk for impressionable young men and secrets that force her to question everything she thought she knew about her parents, her heritage, and her own future.

Book Synopsis The Media in Arab Countries by : Tourya Guaaybess
Download or read book The Media in Arab Countries written by Tourya Guaaybess and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early research work on international communication, the countries of North Africa and the Middle East were seen as part of the “Third World”, and the media had to be at the service of development. However, this situation is changing due to the transnationalization and liberalization of the media. Indeed, since the 1990s, the entry of the South – and Arab countries in this case – into the “information society” has become the dominant creed, although the vision is still globalizing and marked by stereotypes. Representations of these societies are closely associated with international relations and geopolitics, characterized by tensions and conflicts. However, a force has come to disrupt the traditional rules of the game: Arab audiences. Digital media, the dissemination of which has been enabled by the implementation of the “information society”, empowers them to participate fully in a media confluence. This liberation from the discourse has two major consequences: the media and journalism sector has become more strategic than ever, and action toward development must be reinvented.
Download or read book Villa Hecate written by Laurence Flood and published by Laurence Flood. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Villa Hecate Synopsis It’s the eve of 1984 and the much anticipated dystopian society predicted by Orwell has not yet materialised. Laurie McGrath is a much sought after session guitarist from Glasgow. He is married to Cate (short for the Greek goddess Hecate). Cate is a well known watercolour artist who has exhibited in the Royal Academy summer shows as well as in her native Scotland. Laurie can’t believe his luck when one of the top boy bands breaks up and its charismatic singer Brent McDonald asks him to be in his new band as they tour in Spain. A series of unexpected events quickly catapult Laurie and his artist wife Cate from the trendiness of Glasgow’s West End into a young, vibrant and newly democratic Spain. Deciding to spend a year in the Marbella area of southern Spain, the couple fortuitously find a dream home by the beach. Cate renames the house, Villa Hecate. Following the austerity of General Franco’s dictatorship, the Transition years, were a period of relative freedom and adventure both for Spain and Laurie and Cate. Laurie McGrath was born and raised in the Maryhill district of Glasgow. After studying at Glasgow University, he worked as a session guitarist through the Punk and New Wave years of the late 70s and early 80s. He recorded and toured as a session musician with many well-known groups including The Stranglers, The Damned, Elvis Costello, Ian Drury and Dr. Feelgood. The author describes himself as a poet, musician and Buddhist (though not necessarily in that order). Laurie now lives in Hastings in East Sussex with his wife Cate and their cocker spaniel.

Book Synopsis Islam, Faith, and Fashion by : Magdalena Craciun
Download or read book Islam, Faith, and Fashion written by Magdalena Craciun and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of religion and dress in Turkey has been debated at great length both in academia and the media. Through in-depth ethnographic research into the Turkish fashion market and the work of a category of new comers, namely headscarf-wearing fashion professionals, Islam, Faith, and Fashion examines entrepreneurship in this market and the aesthetic desirability, religious suitability, and ethical credibility of fashionable Islamic dress. What makes a fashionable outfit Islamically appropriate? What makes an Islamically appropriate outfit fashionable? What are the conditions, challenges and constraints an entrepreneur faces in this market, and how do they market their products? Is the presumed oxymoronic nature of Islamic fashion a challenge or a burden? Through case studies and ethnographic portraits, Craciun questions the commercialization of Islamic dress and tackles the delicate and often incompatible relationship between clothing worn in recognition of religious belief and clothing worn purely because it is fashionable. This timely analysis of fashion, religion, ethics, and aesthetics presents dress as a disputed and a contested locus of modernity. Islam, Faith, and Fashion will be essential reading for students of fashion, anthropology, and material and visual culture.
