Studies in Islamic history and institutions /
:
Goitein's selection of studies dealing with Islamic history, religion, and institutions offers a wide-ranging, sensitive, and highly original introduction to a civilization by one who lived all his life studying and observing Islam. Eschewing simplistic notions, Goitein poses fundamental questions vis-à-vis Muslim religious thought and practice, the evolution of the Islamic state in the early Middle Ages, the characteristic facets of the civilization, and the periodization of its history. Although all but one of the essays deal with the first seven centuries of Islamic history, Goitein frequently draws important connections between the past and the present. A professional educator as well as researcher and scholar, Goitein with a clarity and orderliness makes his subtly reasoned conclusions accessible to students and scholars alike. He provides the reader with an opportunity to acquaint himself not only with the results of research, but also with the methods by which they were obtained. With a new foreword by Norman A. Stillman.

Women's Rights Under International, American, Islamic, and Egyptian Law: An Irresolvable Conflict : A Cross-cultural Examination of Gender Equality /
:
This book presents a comprehensive analysis of women's rights pertaining to abortion, employment equality, and the choice to wear a hijab under international, American, Islamic, and Egyptian law. It challenges the notion that Islamic Shari'a inherently discriminates against women and attributes these perceptions to cultural stereotypes and social norms. It highlights the discrimination Muslim women encounter in Western countries and advocates for the protection and promotion of their rights to foster equality, fairness, diversity, and social cohesion. Essential reading for anyone interested in gender equality, it offers a fresh perspective on the intersections between law, culture, and women's rights.

The Muslim brothers in Europe : roots and discourse /
:
This volume provides an overview on the history of the Muslim Brotherhood and the ways its heritage is appropriated by its European members today. They define themselves as the "community of the middle way", in the centre of Islamic orthodoxy, proposing an ethos and an ideology. However their heritage is composed of many different intellectual strata and these inputs are in tension. The current movement is both powerful and fragile as certain fundamental principles remain respected while many other themes are currently being cautiously questioned. By analysing private interviews and public discourse, this book fills in an important gap in scholarly research. No other in-depth study exists about this little known and reserved but important reference for European Muslims.

Fear, Heterodoxy, and Crime in Traditional China /
:
This multi-contributor volume examines the evolving relationship between fear, heterodoxy and crime in traditional China. It throws light on how these three variously interwoven elements shaped local policies and people's perceptions of the religious, ethnic, and cultural "other." Authors depart from the assumption that "otherness" is constructed, stereotyped and formalized within the moral, political and legal institutions of Chinese society. The capacity of their findings to address questions about the emotional dimension of mass mobilization, the socio-political implications of heterodoxy, and attributions of crime is the result of integrating multiple sources of knowledge from history, religious studies and social science. Contributors are Ágnes Birtalan, Ayumu Doi, Fabian Graham, Hung Tak Wai, Jing Li, Hang Lin, Tommaso Previato, and Noriko Unno.

Tracking Global Wokeism /
:
In this volume, nineteen authors ask: does wokeness exist in the non-Western world? And if yes, is it imported from America or can it also have its own vernacular roots? Wokeness has helped advance the cause of social justice in many domains. However, a cursory search on the internet can yield the impression that 'woke' is now predominantly used in a negative fashion. The present book approaches woke from unusual philosophical angles that do not adhere to either pro or counter positions but that try to transcend purely ideological perspectives. The book shifts the debate to an international or global level by asking whether Wokeism also exists in the non-Western world.
