Jonathan N Lipman, "Islamic Thought in China: Sino-Muslim Intellectual Evolution from the 17th to the 21st Century"
English | ISBN: 1474402275 | 2016 | 288 pages | PDF | 3 MB
How can people belong simultaneously to two cultures, originating in two different places and expressed in two different languages, without alienating themselves from either? Muslims have lived in the Chinese culture area for 1400 years, and the intellectuals among them have long wrestled with this problem. Unlike Persian, Turkish, Urdu, or Malay, the Chinese language never adopted vocabulary from Arabic to enable a precise understanding of Islam's religious and philosophical foundations. Islam thus had to be translated into Chinese, which lacks words and arguments to justify monotheism, exclusivity, and other features of this Middle Eastern religion. Even in the 21st century, Muslims who are culturally Chinese must still justify their devotion to a single God, avoidance of pork, and their communities' distinctiveness, among other things, to sceptical non-Muslim neighbours and an increasingly intrusive state.

This was a helpful, complement of a book for my corporate, adult course. I ordered one to have in the classroom as they learn to respond to tough questions from their audience. They liked it, too, and some will order their own copy. Good stuff. Thanks.

Timo Miettinen, "Husserl and the Idea of Europe "
English | ISBN: 0810141485 | 2020 | 256 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Husserl and the Idea of Europe argues that Edmund Husserl's late reflections on Europe should not be read either as departures from his early transcendental phenomenology or as simple exercises of cultural criticism but rather as systematic phenomenological reflections on generativity and historicity. Timo Miettinen shows that Husserl's deliberations on Europe contain his most compelling and radical interpretation of the intersubjective, communal, and historical dimensions of phenomenology.

Howard Thurman and the Disinherited: A Religious Biography (Library of Religious Biography (LRB)) by Paul Harvey
English | January 21st, 2021 | ISBN: 0802876773 | 256 pages | True EPUB | 1.04 MB
Teacher. Minister. Theologian. Writer. Mystic. Activist. No single label can capture the multiplicity of Howard Thurman's life, but his influence is written all over the most significant aspects of the Civil Rights movement. In 1936, he visited Mahatma Gandhi in India and subsequently brought Gandhi's concept of nonviolent resistance across the globe to the United States. Later, through his book Jesus and the Disinherited, he foresaw a theology of American liberation based on the life of Jesus as a dispossessed Jew under Roman rule.

Lilya Kaganovsky, "How the Soviet Man Was Unmade: Cultural Fantasy and Male Subjectivity under Stalin "
English | ISBN: 0822959933 | 2008 | 256 pages | PDF | 10 MB
In Stalinist Russia, the idealized Soviet man projected an image of strength, virility, and unyielding drive in his desire to build a powerful socialist state. In monuments, posters, and other tools of cultural production, he became the demigod of Communist ideology. But beneath the surface of this fantasy, between the lines of texts and in film, lurked another figure: the wounded body of the heroic invalid, the second version of Stalin's New Man.
