ISBN: 9780791423943 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Many of the events treated in this volume have become part of the historical consciousness of Muslims. The first civil war of Islam, the Fitnah, is widely seen as of decisive importance in dividing the Muslims into three major traditions, Sunnis, Shi'is, and Kharijis, which have persisted until today. Although this division may be an over-simplification of a much more complex process of community formation, the events narrated here are certainly of great importance in the early history of Islam. The volume is focused on the struggle between the caliph 'Ali and his rival and eventual...

The Western Bahr Al-Ghazal Under British Rule, 1898-1956
ISBN: 9780896801615 / Angielski / Miękka / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Western Bahr al-Ghazal is perhaps one of the least known places in Africa.

In the nineteenth century the region became one of the most active slave-exporting zones in Africa. The area is distinguished from the rest of southern Sudan by its veneer of Muslim influence and an Arabic pidgin. British officials regarded it as a Muslim enclave and in the twentieth century, western Bahr al-Ghazal became a laboratory in which the British colonial...
