Stephen R. Halsey, "Quest for Power: European Imperialism and the Making of Chinese Statecraft"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 0674425650 | PDF | pages: 361 | 4.3 mb
China's history in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has often been framed as a long coda of imperial decline, played out during its last dynasty, the Qing. Quest for Power presents a sweeping reappraisal of this narrative. Stephen Halsey traces the origins of China's great-power status in the twentieth century to this era of supposed decadence and decay. Threats from European and Japanese imperialism and the growing prospect of war triggered China's most innovative state-building efforts since the Qing dynasty's founding in the mid-1600s.

Nobody's People: Hierarchy as Hope in a Society of Thieves (South Asia in Motion) by Anastasia Piliavsky
English | Nov 24, 2020 | ISBN: 1503604640, 1503614204 | 300 pages | PDF | 6 MB
What if we could imagine hierarchy not as a social ill, but as a source of social hope? Taking us into a "caste of thieves" in northern India, Nobody's People depicts hierarchy as a normative idiom through which people imagine better lives and pursue social ambitions. Failing to find a place inside hierarchic relations, the book's heroes are "nobody's people": perceived as worthless, disposable and so open to being murdered with no regret or remorse. Following their journey between death and hope, we learn to perceive vertical, non-equal relations as a social good, not only in rural Rajasthan, but also in much of the world―including settings stridently committed to equality. Challenging egalo-normative commitments, Anastasia Piliavsky asks scholars across the disciplines to recognize hierarchy as a major intellectual resource.

Luay Radhan, "Muslims Against the Islamic State: Arab Critics and Supporters of Ali Abdarraziq's Islamic Laicism"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 3631655541 | PDF | pages: 370 | 2.5 mb
The central thesis of this study is that there are religious Muslims who are against the Islamic State for Islamic reasons. Its main goal is to explain Ali Abdarraziq's (1888-1966) Islamic Laicism and to show the arguments of some of his Arab critics and supporters. Abdarraziq's Islamic Laicism is based on his Arabic work Islam and the Foundations of Governance: A Research of the Caliphate and Government in Islam (1925). In order to protect the people and the religion from the abuse of power by the state or the mosque, the Islamic Laicists Nasr Abu Zayd, Jamal al-Banna, Faraj Fodah, Abdullahi al-Na'im, and Turki al-Hamad want to separate the religious institutions (the mosque) from the political institutions (the state).
