Imperial Policy and Southeast Asian Nationalism
ISBN: 9780700703197 / Angielski / Twarda / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The period 1930-50 in Southeast Asia was a tumultuous period. Above all it was marked by the decline and demise of imperial power. Traditionally, this process has been viewed as a dichotomy, of European versus Asian or imperialist versus nationalist. What these papers present, however, is another perspective: one that advocates a triangular approach to the construction of nationality in Southeast Asia. One such triangle which is examined is the power relationship between colonial authorities, traditional rulers and nationalist leaders and their quite different views of the general population:...

Christians and Muslims: From Double Standards to Mutual Understanding
ISBN: 9780700703647 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the most persistent problems in Christian-Muslim relations over the centuries has been the tendency of each group to judge the other by a set of standards and criteria quite different from the standards and criteria used in assessing itself. Hugh Goddard argues that in the 20th century such a procedure is no longer admissible. He goes on to point out some of the useful insight which may be gained - by the members of both communities in their understanding both of their own faith and of that of the other - by an attempt to apply the same criteria to both traditions.

Asian Forms of the Nation
ISBN: 9780700704033 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The general tendency among theorists of nationalism and national identity has been to assume that the modernization process in Asia and Africa is a kind of distorted reflection of a Western precedent; Asian forms of the nation have rarely been seen as independent, alternative models. The aim of this collection is to build on and enforce the theory that Asia is a serious contender in economic discussion. It seeks to demonstrate that in Asia, as well as in Europe, each nation forms a unique amalgam which can be fruitfully compared with others. The relationship between geographical space and...

Suhrawardi, who claims first to have discovered the truth and then embarked on a path to find the...

On the basis of unpublished British documents and works by Afghan historians, it attempts to lay the groundwork for a better understanding of the political mechanisms at work during the early Muhammadzai era by analyzing them both from the viewpoint of the centre and the periphery.
