Описание:
Islam is the most misunderstood and misrepresented religious tradition in the United States, depicted as an oppressive and violent political system and its followers as backward and "un-American." The stereotypes about Islam and Muslims in the U.S. calls for a new sociological understanding that confronts the menacing bigotry and racism rising in the U.S. today.
Through an overview essay, chronology, and roughly 50 alphabetically arranged entries, this reference explores the intersection of Islam, Muslims, and American national identity. The primary focus is contemporary issues and developments relating to Islam in the U.S., but the entries also incorporate a fuller picture of Islam in general and Muslims worldwide. Included are entries on history, race and ethnicity, interfaith commonalities, politics, discrimination and hate, and national identity. The entries cite works for further reading, and the book closes with an annotated bibliography of the most important resources.

Описание:
The Other Myrtle, a collection of poems by Bill Considine, is a compelling journey from a father's death in the first poem to a lover's longing in the final one, "We shared a quilt...' There are Whitmanesque touches, such as the Moon howling a loony tune, and classical drama in the playlet Persephone's Return. Considine is a marvelous poet and playwright, and his ability to sustain a narrative line shapes this book from beginning to end. Highly recommended
-Ron Kolm, author of Welcome to the Barbecue
With gorgeous phrases like "a musical moan," or "beer in the tub poured as cold as nails," and poetic walks through a city in early spring, The Other Myrtle pulls us in with its smart combo of carefully sculpted imagery and story. Each poem is a tiny drama, a world. And then, near the end is the marvelous Persephone's Return, a verse-play which sweeps us off to an ancient time, an ancient place. This chapbook delights and inspires and will stay with you, asking to be read and read again.
-Francine Witte, author of The Theory of Flesh
"All I did was share-be real" writes William Considine. With gorgeously specific descriptions and illuminating details, these poems document a lived experience that is as deeply felt as it is multifaceted, from photosynthesis to Persephone, from family trauma and triumphs to battling rats. But these poems are so much more than documentation. Thanks to Considine's lyricism and talent for piercing, sometimes unexpected insight that comes at just the right moment ("As constant as / the onrush and rocking of water / in a gorge of a mountain, / flows love / for one who seems forgotten"), these poems acquire an existential weight that leaves the reader both enthralled and enriched.
-Anton Yakovlev, author of Chronos Dines Alone

Описание: What makes an American Catholic of Irish and Italian descent one of the leading global voices in admiration of Prophet Muhammad? In this overview of Muhammad's life and legacy, prominent scholar Craig Considine provides a sociological analysis of Muhammad's teachings and example. Considine shows how the Prophet embraced religious pluralism, envisioned a civic nation, stood for anti-racism, advocated for seeking knowledge, initiated women's rights, and followed the Golden Rule. Considine sheds light on the side of Prophet Muhammad that is often forgotten in mainstream depictions and media narratives. The Humanity of Muhammad is Considine's contribution to the growing body of literature on one of history's most important human beings.

Описание:
Muslims in America: Examining the Facts provides an objective overview of the realities and experiences of Muslims in the United States, both historically and in the present day, and of their relationship with their fellow Americans. It surveys the history of American Muslims' settlement and integration into the United States; explores the dominant social, political, cultural, and economic characteristics of American Muslim families and communities; and studies the ways in which their experiences and beliefs intersect with various notions of American national identity. In the process, the book critically examines the more dominant social and political narratives and claims surrounding American Muslims and their religion of Islam, including false or malicious claims about their attitudes toward terrorism and other important issues. Muslims in America: Examining the Facts thus gives readers a clear and accurate understanding of the actual lives, actions, and beliefs of Muslim people in the United States.

Описание: Its title derived from the French word causer, meaning to chat or talk informally, Alexandre Singh: Causeries details a series of encounters between artist Alexandre Singh (born 1980) and various academics, writers, scientists and philosophers. In preparation for his ambitious play The Humans at Witte de With, Singh set up a public discussion series exploring the key themes and concerns of his developing play, such as dance, drama and religion (to name just a few). Aiming at an alternative form of public conversation, more relaxed than what is allowed at a symposium or conference, Singh engaged the invited speakers in deliberately informal conversations on such wide-ranging topics as Woody Allen, Hindu cosmogony, Aristophanes, South Park and scatology. This volume contains an edited selection of 29 of the public conversations conducted by Singh as part of the Causeries series.
