 Free Download Occidentalism: Literary Representations of the Maghrebi Experience of the East-West Encounter By Zahia Smail Salhi 2021 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 1474453228 | PDF | 2 MB Evaluates the East-West encounter portrayed in Maghrebi literature from colonial times to the post-9/11 period.From the Back Cover'Ambitious and lucid, this book provides a comprehensive view of modern Algerian literature originating in the colonial period through the lens of "occidentalism". It is a valuable addition to the scholarship on the enduring, complex, and shifting relationship between coloniser and colonised in the production of literary knowledge.' Marnia Lazreg, City University of New York Explores the encounters between East and West in the Maghrebi literature in the pre-1945 period Maghrebi literature published in the first half of the twentieth century is a subject that seldom receives focused scholarly treatment. This is partly due to limited availability of the books, some of which were printed in as few as fifty copies. Zahia Smail Salhi tracked down these rare works and put them in the spotlight for the first time here. Through close textual analysis and in-depth engagement with religious and socio-political contexts, Smail Salhi determines whether these texts belong to a collective formation we may call 'Occidentalism'. In so doing, this book reintegrates the pre-1945 Maghrebi novels into the history and study of modern Arabic literature. Key features - Focuses on the work of early Algerian intelligentsia known as the Young Algerians and their insistent letters to the Occident; - Depicts the Maghrebi encounter with the Occident as a plea to extend Western civilization to all facts of the colonized society; - Engages with the work of early French feminists and its impact on the birth of Algerian feminism; - Includes readings of key texts by Chukri Khodja, Saad ben Ali, Djamila Débêche, Fadhma Amrouche, Mouloud Feraoun, Mohamed Dib, Ferhat Abbas and Albert Memmi, amongst many others. Zahia Smail Salhi is Chair of Modern Arabic Studies, University of Manchester, and Vice-President of the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies. She is the author of Politics and Poetics in the Algerian Novel (1999).

Free Download Novel Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering 2018 by Emmanuel Stratakis English | PDF | 2019 | 428 Pages | ISBN : 3038975435 | 117.61 MB The concept of regenerating tissues, with properties and functions that mimic natural tissues, has attracted significant attention in recent years. It provides potential solutions for treating many diseases and other healthcare issues. To fully realize the potential of the approach, it is crucial to have a rational biomaterial design to create novel scaffolds, and other materials systems suitable for tissue engineering, repair and regeneration. Research advances on the topic include the design of new biomaterials and their composites, the scaffold fabrication via subtractive and additive manufacturing approaches, the development of implantable scaffolds for disease monitoring, diagnostics, and treatment, as well as the understanding of cells-biomaterial scaffolds interaction.
 Free Download Daniel S. Chard, "Nixon's War at Home: The FBI, Leftist Guerrillas, and the Origins of Counterterrorism " English | ISBN: 146966450X | 2021 | 384 pages | EPUB | 1148 KB During the presidency of Richard Nixon, homegrown leftist guerrilla groups like the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army carried out hundreds of attacks in the United States. The FBI had a long history of infiltrating activist groups, but this type of clandestine action posed a unique challenge. Drawing on thousands of pages of declassified FBI documents, Daniel S. Chard shows how America's war with domestic guerrillas prompted a host of new policing measures as the FBI revived illegal spy techniques previously used against communists in the name of fighting terrorism. These efforts did little to stop the guerrillas-instead, they led to a bureaucratic struggle between the Nixon administration and the FBI that fueled the Watergate Scandal and brought down Nixon. Yet despite their internal conflicts, FBI and White House officials developed preemptive surveillance practices that would inform U.S. counterterrorism strategies into the twenty-first century, entrenching mass surveillance as a cornerstone of the national security state.

 Free Download Nature That Makes Us Human by Loreau, Michel; English | 2023 | ISBN: 0197628435 | 169 pages | True PDF EPUB | 13.46 MB  Free Download Muslim Modernities: Expressions of the Civil Imagination By Amyn B. Sajoo 2008 | 274 Pages | ISBN: 1845118723 | PDF | 2 MB How does Islam engage with the idea of the modern and with the contemporary world? How is Muslim tradition to be reconciled with a world in continuous flux and change? These questions lie at the heart of current discussions of the Islamic faith and of its doctrines, beliefs and practices. Engaging directly with such questions, this important volume discusses such key themes as identity and citizenship, piety and protest and music and modes of dress. Muslim as well as non-Muslim scholars explore how religiosity and tradition may both have an active role to play in the unfolding of what we understand of as 'the modern'. Modernity is commonly portrayed as a break with traditionalism: and as a marriage to the secular. Yet the core values at stake - from the ethos of intellectualism to the pluralism of civic culture - have roots in diverse civilizations, and certainly in those of Islam. A vital theme in the book is the role played by the ethical imagination in expressions of the civil determined by a diversity of Qur'anic understandings. This role is important in practices of civil society and citizenship, in grappling with new technologies, and in the challenges posed by political violence. Since 9/11, the West's failure to come to grips with plural modernities has reinforced simplistic assumptions about a 'clash of civilizations'. Fresh perspectives are offered here on what it is to be both modern and Muslim, mindful of the multiple narratives that inform both identities. |
