EDITED BY
new textbook
YA S I R S U L E I M A N
Welcome to our 2016 Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies catalogue We are very excited to be publishing Being Palestinian – a collection of personal reflections on what it means to be a Palestinian when you do not live in Palestine. Funny, poignant and surprising in turn, these accounts will fascinate all readers. Our longest-running series, New Edinburgh Islamic Surveys, sees the launch of two new titles (Contemporary Issues in Islam and Astronomy and Astrology in the Islamic World) and a new, fourth edition of the best-selling textbook Muslims in Western Europe. The new Edinburgh Studies in Classical Islamic History and Culture series is expanding with the publication of intriguing new books from Konrad Hirschler (Medieval Damascus: Plurality and Diversity in an Arabic Library) and Zohar Amer and Efraim Lev (Arabian Drugs in Medieval Mediterranean Medicine) – both books are beautifully illustrated in colour and will grace any bookshelf. We are adding three new titles to our Edinburgh History of the Islamic Empires series in 2016: Amira K. Bennison’s The Almoravid and Almohad Empires, Michael Brett’s The Fatimid Empire and Timothy May’s The Mongol Empire.
new
In the contemporary Middle Eastern Studies area of our list we are publishing new books on The Egyptian Dream, Democratisation in the Maghreb and The Legacy of Iraq, amongst others. A personal favourite is the wonderful Anthology of Arabic Literature, compiled and translated by Tarif Khalidi. This collection of poetry and prose gives a brilliant taste of this incredibly rich literary tradition. I hope you will find lots in here to enjoy. And if you have a book you would like to publish on our list, I would be delighted to hear from you.

How can religion transform a society? This book investigates how a medieval Islamic movement harnessed Qur’anic visions of utopia to construct one of the most brilliant and long-lasting empires in Islamic history. The Fatimids’ apocalyptic vision of their central place in an imminent utopia played a critical role in transfiguring the intellectual and political terrains of North Africa in the early 10th century. Yet the realities that they faced on the ground often challenged their status as the custodians of a pristine Islam at the end of time. This is the first volume in our new series, Edinburgh Studies in Islamic Apocalypticism and Eschatology, edited by David Cook and Christian Lange.

A social, political and religious history of Sufism in Medieval Egypt After the fall of the Shi’ite Fatimid Empire in 1171 and the emergence of a new Sunni polity under Saladin and the Ayyubids, Sufism came to extraordinary prominence in Egypt. This study re-examines the data from 12th–14th century Egypt to construct a comprehensive account of the institutionalisation, organisation and popularisation of Sufism in Egypt, a historical development that had a profound impact on the Egyptian religious landscape and the history of Islam more broadly.

The story of how one tribal family claimed the legacy of Chinggis Qan in Persia The period of Middle Eastern history between the collapse of the Mongol Ilkhanate in 1335 and the rise of Timur (Tamerlane) at the end of the 14th century is commonly seen as a tumultuous period of political breakdown and disorder. This book helps to make sense of this confusing period by tracing continuities through the history of the Jalayirid tribe, whose members founded a dynasty and claimed to be the rightful heirs of the Chinggisid Mongols. The story of how the Jalayirids came to power is illustrative of the political dynamics that shaped much of the Mongol and post-Mongol period in the Middle East. Published in association with The Royal Asiatic Society.

The Great Seljuk Empire was the Turkish state which dominated the Middle East and Central Asia in the 11th and 12th centuries. This book surveys that period, which was one of exceptional importance, witnessing profound demographic, religious, political and social changes in the Islamic Middle East. The Turkish invasions played a role in provoking the Crusades, led to the collapse of Byzantine power in Anatolia and brought about the beginnings of Turkish settlement in what is now Turkey and Iran, permanently altering their ethnic and linguistic composition. Key Features • The first book in a western language to offer an overview of this major Islamic empire • Provides a narrative history and a thematic analysis of the empire’s institutions and aspects of life in the Seljuk world • Examines the political, administrative, military, religious, economic and social organisation of the Great Seljuk Empire using a wide variety of historical and literary sources • Draws on the evidence of archaeology and material culture • Illustrated with images, maps, charts and family trees • Text boxes introduce key themes and institutions

African invaders of Spain? Berber nationalists who destroyed the convivencia between Muslims, Christians and Jews? Or key contributors to the maturation of Islamic society in the Maghrib? The Almoravid and Almohad empires ruled substantial parts of the Maghrib and al-Andalus between the 10th and mid-13th centuries. This is the first survey of the rise and fall of these two hugely powerful empires whose rule fostered the emergence of the Islamic society which endured, in Morocco especially, until the early 20th century. Amira K. Bennison focuses on these dynasties from a positive perspective, placing them in their proper context of medieval Mediterranean and Islamic history.

When Chinggis Khan ascended the pulpit of a mosque in Bukhara, Muslims across the world viewed the Mongols as a punishment sent by God for their sins. Yet, within a hundred years the Mongols were largely Muslim rulers and Islam had spread into new territories. Exploring the empire from the perspective of its subjects, particularly its Muslim inhabitants, this book examines the empire as an entity that changed through time and compares how the ecology, economics, religion and the Chinggisid dynasty affected all portions of the empire.

By investigating fundamental questions about Arab identity and history, this book reveals that the time-honoured stereotypes which depict Arabs as ancient Arabian Bedouin are entirely misleading and suggests that the essence of Arab identity was in fact devised by Muslims during the first centuries of Islam. Deconstructing the history of the Arab people, Peter Webb offers a new interpretation of their origins, explaining how Arab identity emerged and evolved as groups of people imagined new notions of community to suit the radically changing realities of their lives in the early Caliphate.

Complex questions about context, power and history are increasingly shunned in favour of simpler and simpler questions about Islam’s timeless essence.

textbook
the discussion of topics such as the Sharia, jihād, the caliphate, women’s status and interfaith relations within a longer historical framework, Contemporary Issues in Islam reveals their multiple interpretations and contested applications over time. Most public – and occasionally academic – discourses in the West present the Islamic tradition as unchanging and therefore unable to respond to the modern world. Such an ahistorical approach can foster the belief that Muslim-majority and Western societies are destined to clash. This book reveals instead the diversity and transformations within Islamic thought over time. Focusing on this internal diversity permits us to appreciate the scriptural and intellectual resources available within the Islamic tradition for responding to the challenges of modernity, even as this tradition interrogates and shapes modernity itself.

Being Palestinian Pe r s o n a l R e f l e c t i o n s on Palestinian Identity in the Diaspora
Being Palestinian Personal Reflections on Palestinian Identity in the Diaspora Edited by Yasir Suleiman, University of Cambridge What does it mean to be Palestinian when not living in Palestine?
Is being Palestinian a ‘pain in the neck’, or a ‘sentence to suffer gladly’? Does Palestinian identity reside in cross-stitch embroidery, sweet knafeh and the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish, or defending the rights of oppressed communities around the world? How does it feel when you cannot find Palestine under ‘P’ in the encyclopedia? YA S I R S U L E I M A N Why grow fig and orange trees in the Arizona desert?

Touching, often troubling, but full of character and wit, the reflections in Being Palestinian offer a radically fresh look at the modern Palestinian experience in the West. And the time-honoured issues of identity, exile and diaspora give acute sense to these very personal reflections. EDITED BY

The first comprehensive analysis of Muslim movements of reform in 20th-century sub-Saharan Africa As well as re-interpreting the foundational texts of Islam and developing a programme for social and economic change, Muslim reform movements (which have gained significant popular support, particularly among women and the youth), have challenged established religious and political authorities.

Case studies include protests about: • Regime change (in Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Libya, Bahrain, Yemen and Russia) • Corruption (in India) • The demise of the welfare state (in Spain, Israel and Greece) • A living wage (in Botswana and Wisconsin) • The financial crisis and corporate greed (the Occupy movement in British and American cities)

Explains how the worship requirements of the mosque and the Chinese architectural system converged
October 2015 368 pages 60 b&w illustrations, 140 colour illustrations, 8 maps Hb 978 0 7486 7041 3 £95.00
What happens when a monotheistic, foreign religion needs a space in which to worship in China, a civilisation with a building tradition that has been largely unchanged for several millennia? The story of this extraordinary convergence begins in the 7th century and continues under the Chinese rule of Song and Ming, and the non-Chinese rule of the Mongols and Manchus, each with a different political and religious agenda. The author shows that mosques, and ultimately Islam, have survived in China because the Chinese architectural system, though often unchanging, is adaptable.

Mirrors for princes form a substantial and important genre in many pre-modern literatures. Their ostensible purpose is to advise the king; at the same time they assert that the king, if he is truly virtuous, will appreciate being reminded of the contingency of his power. The unknown author of the Counsel for Kings studied in this book wrote in a distinctive early 10th-century Iranian environment. He deploys an abundant set of cultural materials representing ‘perennial wisdom’ of mixed provenances, which he reinvigorates by applying them to the circumstances of his own time and place. The first volume situates Counsel for Kings in its historical context. The second volume gives direct access to a substantial portion of the text through translation and commentary. Key Features • Integrates the evidence of Counsel for Kings with established materials for the study of Samanid history • Demonstrates the interplay of mirrors for princes with other forms of literary expression, such as anthologies of adab, historiographical, theological, philosophical and homiletic writings, encyclopaedic works and poetry
