:
This book explores the dynamic interplay between educational leadership, sustainable development, and quality education. Drawing on postcolonial and development theories, it examines the colonial legacies and lingering neocolonial influences on postcolonial Pakistan's development and education. Situated in a close analysis of Aga Khan Schools in Chitral District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, it analyses the key challenges and opportunities educational leaders face in realising the promise of quality education for all. The author critically engages with the global SDG frameworks and simultaneously examines the locally sensitive strategies educational leaders employ to promote access to quality education for sustainable development (ESD).

Forced Migration: Exiles and Refugees in the UK and the British Empire, 1815-1949 /
:
This volume explores the forced migration of people, defined briefly as when individuals or groups are compelled to leave their home countries due to various (though predominantly political) factors, to the UK and the British Empire from 1815 to 1949. With a uniquely international and inclusive scope, this volume is a welcome contribution to our understanding of forced migrations over this 135-year period. It aims to kickstart future work on this subject and provide the basis for a more truly global understanding of refugees, forced migrations, and border controls in modern history. Contributors are: Yianni Cartledge, Vesna Curlic, Milosz K. Cybowski, Rosaria Franco, Jade Hastings, Jemima Jarman, Jeffrey Jones, Thomas C. Jones, Chana Revell Kotzin, Michał Adam Palacz, Leslie Rogne Schumacher, Evan Smith, Andrekos Varnava, and Andrew Williams. "A high-quality volume composed of thoroughly researched essays which brings together a range of case studies providing a pioneering perspective on the study of migrants in Britain and its empire integrating national with global migration." - Panikos Panayi, De Montfort University, UK

Between Worlds : Forging an African Mission Church in Southern Africa /
:
Between Worlds expands beyond the focus of the previous volume-the British colony of Natal-to the more challenging framework of the American Zulu Mission and its Congregational churches in southeastern Africa between the 1880s and 1920s. This study rejects arguments by many critical scholars, who see Western missionaries at best as adjuncts of the colonial project, imposing an understanding of Western Christianity that inevitably clashes with alien and resistant African cultures. The mission-church relationship in this era also changes dramatically especially in urban environments. The church in South Africa becomes the dominant partner from the 1880s and by 1900 the mission has become an adjunct of the church-an understanding with far-reaching consequences elsewhere in the subcontinent.

Liberal thought in the Eastern Mediterranean : late 19th century until the 1960s /
:
This volume analyzes liberal thought in the Eastern Mediterranean since the late nineteenth century, highlighting its long-term and ongoing influence, and challenging the conventional wisdom that liberalism has no legitimate place in the region's intellectual discourse. By investigating the activities of diverse institutions, media, and personalities, the authors in this volume examine the liberal ideas and values that emerged during eras of both peace and political turmoil, while recognizing the factors contributing to their decline. Seen from these many perspectives, liberal thought developed not merely from "Westernization," but from the interaction between indigenous intellectual critique and political ideology, political experiences and literary imagination, and a mixture of admiration for and resistance to European ideas and political domination.

Butoh and Suzuki Performance in Australia : Bent Legs on Strange Grounds, 1982-2023 /
:
In Butoh and Suzuki Performance in Australia: Bent Legs on Strange Grounds, 1982-2023 , Marshall considers how the originally Japanese forms of butoh dance and Suzuki's theatre reconfigure historical lineages to find ancient yet transcultural ancestors within Australia and beyond. Marshall argues that artists working in Australia with butoh and Suzuki techniques develop conflicted yet compelling diasporic, multicultural, spiritually and corporeally compelling interpretations of theatrical practice. Marshall puts at the centre of butoh historiography the work of Tess de Quincey, Yumi Umiumare, Tony Yap, Lynne Bradley, Simon Woods, Frances Barbe, and Australian Suzuki practitioners Jacqui Carroll and John Nobbs. Jonathan W. Marshall's Bent Legs on Strange Grounds is an important contribution to the body of literature on butoh, as well as to studies of dance in Australia that will be valuable to practitioners and scholars alike. Detailed discussions of Australian butoh artists open up consideration of how global and local histories, migrations, and landscapes not only were key to butoh's formation in Japan, but also to its continued development around the world. Attention to butoh's emplacement in Australia, Marshall convincingly argues, reveals insights about national identity, race, power, and more that are relevant well beyond the Australian performance context. - Rosemary Candelario, Texas Woman's University, co-editor, Routledge Companion to Butoh Performance (2018) Marshall's Bent Legs on Strange Grounds explores the remarkable transformative era of Australia's reconsideration of its place in the region. A definitive study of Australian experiments in butoh and the theatrical vision of Suzuki Tadashi, the book shows how new corporeal and spatial dramaturgies of the Japanese avant-garde fundamentally changed Australian performance. Expansively researched and annotated, this impressive study connects Australian performance after the New Wave with globalization, postmodern dance, Indigeneity, and subcultures, and it details the work of leading Australian/Asian artists. Bent Legs on Strange Grounds speaks about the development of embodied knowledge and the consequential refiguration of Australia's sense of being in the world. It is also a study of butoh and Suzuki's legacy in global terms, wherein Australian experimental performance also becomes something larger than itself. - Peter Eckersall, The Graduate Center, CUNY, author of Performativity and Event in 1960s Japan (2013).

Elephantine in context : studies on the history, religion and literature of the Judeans in Persian period Egypt /
:
"The Persian period has long been considered a "dark era" in Israel's history. For this reason, research has mainly focused on how it is depicted in the Hebrew Bible. A spectacular discovery of archaeological relics and epigraphic sources was hence hardly noticed: the military colony located on the island of Elephantine in the Nile, on the border between Egypt and present-day Sudan. The basic approach of this volume, which documents a three-year Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft project, is to break with a research tradition focusing on the Judeans (Jews) mentioned in the Aramaic papyri from Elephantine and instead investigate the military colony in a broader historical context also documented by Demotic and Egyptian-hieratic evidence found at Elephantine. The studies presented focus on three main subject areas: society and administration, religion, and literature. They show that historically the island of Elephantine hosted a multicultural society with several interactions between the Egyptians and the other inhabitants, and that it was also an important administrative centre for the Persian authorities."

Secularism and the Hindi Film : A New Box-Office History of Bollywood /
:
A panoramic history of one of India's greatest pastimes, Bollywood, through the lens of that nation's distinct brand of secularism. Nayar provides readers an accessible overview of the vast, fluid complex that is Bollywood, including the offscreen politics often driving that complex, by chronicling how religious pluralism has been cinematically conceived, negotiated, played into, and politicized. From the silent films of the colonial period to the slick blockbusters in the era of globalization and Hindutva, Nayar exposes the strategies that have gone into reflecting India's unity in diversity and the threats recurrently embattling that constitutionally enshrined principle. If cinema is the barometer of popular attitudes in India, what better to measure the public's commitment to its characteristic brand of secularism? In this way, the book offers no less a compelling box-office history of Bollywood than a history of modern India through its films.

Christianity, empire, and the spirit : (re)configuring faith and the cultural /
:
In Christianity, Empire and The Spirit , Néstor Medina uncovers the cultural processes that play a crucial role in influencing how people understand reality, express the Christian faith, and think about God. He uses decolonial thinking, Latina/o theology, and Pentecostal theology to show how the cultural dimension is a central feature in the biblical text; was the force that coopted Christianity from the imperial era of Constantine onwards; and undergirded Western European colonialism and the missionary project. He engages with Protestant and Catholic articulations on "culture" and demonstrates how most theologians perpetuate Eurocentric frames for considering the relation between Christianity and the cultural dimension. Alternatively, he offers a theological proposal that recognizes the Spirit at work in the phenomena of cultures.
