C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd Sites of Pluralism : Community Politics in the Middle East
Within some policy circles, at the heart of these conflicts lies a fundamental incompatibility between different ethno-linguistic and religious communities; it is held that these divisions impede any form of political resolution or social cohesion. Yet, despite this galvanised public focus on pluralism and 'minorities' within the turbulent Middle East, there has been limited scholarship exploring these tensions. Sites of Pluralism fills this significant gap, going beyond a narrow focus on minority politics to examine the larger canvas of community spheres in the Middle East. Through eight case studies from esteemed experts in law, education, history, architecture, anthropology and political science, this multi-disciplinary volume offers a critical view of the Middle East's diverse, pluralistic fabric: how it has evolved throughout history; how it influences current political, economic and social dynamics; and what possibilities it offers for the future.

Duke University Press Indian Ocean Literary Circularities
Contributors to this special issue explore world literatures of the Indian Ocean as a site for studying mobile networks of capital and labor as well as diasporic movements generated by European imperial expansion and its aftermath. These circularities shape both identities and the cultural interactions that arise from them and that connect places and peoples. In doing so, the authors bring Indian Ocean Studies into conversation with ongoing efforts to globalize literary historiography.
