Описание: The Kingdom of Jordan stands strategically amidst the countries of the Near East, bordered by Israel, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. A small country, poor in resources, it is torn by conflicting tensions and policies and by strife between pro-Western and pro-Soviet elements. This study of Jordan in the English language surveys all aspects of Jordan
Shaykh Mithqal al-Fayiz's life spanned a period of dramatic transformation in the Middle East. Born in the 1880s during a time of rapid modernization across the Ottoman Empire, Mithqal led his tribe through World War I, the development and decline of colonial rule and founding of Jordan, the establishment of the state of Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict that ensued, and the rise of pan-Arabism. As Mithqal navigated regional politics over the decades, he redefined the modern role of the shaykh.
In following Mithqal's remarkable life, this book explores tribal leadership in the modern Middle East more generally. The support of Mithqal's tribe to the Jordanian Hashemite regime extends back to the creation of Jordan in 1921 and has characterized its political system ever since. The long-standing alliances between tribal elites and the royal family explain, to a large extent, the extraordinary resilience of Hashemite rule in Jordan and the country's relative stability. Mithqal al-Fayiz's life and work as a shaykh offer a notable individual story, as well as a unique window into the history, society, and politics of Jordan.

Описание: The present volume is a collection of articles published in English by Professor Pierre Briant of the College de France, in various forms over the past three decades. Pierre Briant has been instrumental in the recent revival of Achaemenid history, and the way in which he has achieved this is instructive for the future generations of historians to come. One can state that Briant's approach to history is very much in the French tradition: it engages with both narration and a thorough historiographical methodology, making his work so distinctively rigorous and compelling at the same time. Another important contribution made by Briant's work concerns the changing scholarly interpretations of the relations between the Achaemenids and Alexander in the longue duree. Since the major corpus of Pierre Briant's work was originally composed in French, I thought that it would be beneficial to many English-speaking students, as well as educated readers and experts in the field, to have access to these important essays in a single volume. I have tried to keep articles in their original publication format and style, wherever possible. This volume is a special tribute to an important historian of our time, from which current and future students of Persia will have much to learn.
This volume was previously published by the Jordan Center for Persian Studies, University of California – Irvine.
An examination of archaeology in Jordan and Palestine, Competitive Archaeology in Jordan explores how antiquities have been used to build narratives and national identities. Tracing Jordanian history, and the importance of Jerusalem within that history, Corbett analyzes how both foreign and indigenous powers have engaged in a competition over ownership of antiquities and the power to craft history and geography based on archaeological artifacts. She begins with the Ottoman and British Empires—under whose rule the institutions and borders of modern Jordan began to take shape—asking how they used antiquities in varying ways to advance their imperial projects. Corbett continues through the Mandate era and the era of independence of an expanded Hashemite Kingdom, examining how the Hashemites and other factions, both within and beyond Jordan, have tried to define national identity by drawing upon antiquities.
Competitive Archaeology in Jordan traces a complex history through the lens of archaeology’s power as a modern science to create and give value to spaces, artifacts, peoples, narratives, and academic disciplines. It thus considers the role of archaeology in realizing Jordan’s modernity—drawing its map; delineating sacred and secular spaces; validating taxonomies of citizens; justifying legal frameworks and institutions of state; determining logos of the nation for display on stamps, currency, and in museums; and writing history. Framing Jordan’s history in this way, Corbett illustrates the manipulation of archaeology by governments, institutions, and individuals to craft narratives, draw borders, and create national identities.
Описание: (This 3rd in a series of white papers, to clarify & defend the original Jesus of human history, not just the Jewish people, offers the social significance of a true Jesus entering into the world through human behavior. America, as the 2nd Israel in a global drama, not to decide the economic future of the world, but the moral & ethical system that will define the human instinct, as a citizen, as a patriot & as a parent, will be explored & extracted. The true moral opportunity provided by 4 words, reasoned by men, that defines the 1st civil right offered EVERY person under its umbrella, citizen or not, that defines all subsequent potential relationships, that offers the world the same experience, is explored for the opportunity & need that remains for its mastery by her citizens. This 3rd in the series offers the historical Jesus to the real world. This, as was done by Gandhi & King, offers a new vision for the world... in how we view ourselves, each other & the opportunity between us. For 6000 years humanity has struggled towards such true integration as to create a sustainable social civility. 2,000 years ago, the nation of Israel had a potential for greatness thrust upon them that was capable of changing the course of all human history. That opportunity slipped between their fingers. 2,000 years later, a nation was conceived that offered the same opportunity for greatness. But that potential greatness is not what is of interest to us. That missed opportunity 2,000 years ago, & the subsequent failure of Christian leadership to inherit the ONLY & PERFECT message Jesus offered, as the concluding thought on the history of moral social development, left open the door for Marxism. That failure was instituted on the basis of the failure of American founders to recognize the absolute obligation to ALL humanity they had, & as much to heaven as to one another. Slavery was the Achilles heel of Americas creation. Its founding failure allowed a birth & rooted such a morally deviant institutional state of mind & unearned entitlement, that even to this day, there has been no national repentance for the slavery that dragged & drags America down psychologically, as well as spiritually, to this day. That failure, of its people, to accept & immediately integrate that 1st Principle of America... allowed a complete failure of comprehension to reach the general populace as to the social significance of that 1st value, one specifically promoting true integration. Hence, today, racists wrongly imagine that their ideas of a morally justified hate are protected by the Constitution, specifically from the wording of the 1st Amendment, in the Bill of Rights. America, when properly understood... CONDEMNS SUCH VALUES... PERIOD. NO TRUE PATRIOT CAN OFFER SUPPORT FOR SUCH ANTI-SOCIAL VALUES. We must consent to allow ourselves to understand that the normal values that support slavery, racism, sexism, are the SAME values that link communist, fascist, Nazi & white Christian supremacist into one family of values. Under such an ideological assault, we must consent to integrate a genuinely human standard of rationality to guide our moral compass, given the universal social significance of relationships to human need & meaning. That will be the challenge we engage... & digest. Today... is now Judgment Day for Trumps white Christian Americans... but not America. She has remained faithful, carrying forward the wisdom of the ages without offering one change of word or intent. But today, in a social & moral climate that challenges all America promised & promises, a new kind of civics discussion is required, as a measure of our assumed, yet to be realized maturity... to restore what has been altered in our understanding, against all indicated wisdom & all evidence.)
