Women, Gender and Language in Morocco
ISBN: 9789004128538 / Angielski / Twarda / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In Moroccan culture, history, geography, Islam, orality, multilingualism, social organization, economic status, and political system constitute the superstructures...

Saints and Sons: The Making and Remaking of the Rashīdi Aḥmadi Sufi Order, 1799-2000
ISBN: 9789004140134 / Angielski / Twarda / 255 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This first history of the Rashīdi Aḥmadiyya argues for a new explanation of the great Sufi revival of the eighteenth century, and also defines a new paradigm of development and change in Sufi orders. In his study of one widespread Sufi order over two centuries and three continents, the author identifies a repeating cycle in which a section of an order rises under a great shaykh, splits, and stabilizes. Though each great shaykh seems to remake the order with little reference to what has gone before, there are in fact two constants through all cycles: the written literature of the...
