Download or read book Burning the Veil written by Neil McMaster and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burning the Veil draws upon sources from newly-opened archives, exploring the "emancipation" of Muslim women from the veil, seclusion and perceived male oppression during the Algerian War of decolonization. The claimed French liberation was contradicted by the violence inflicted on women through rape, torture, and destruction of villages. This book examines the roots of this contradiction in the theory of "revolutionary warfare", and the attempt to defeat the National Liberation Front by penetrating the Muslim family, seen as a bastion of resistance. Striking parallels with contemporary Afghanistan and Iraq, French "emancipation" produced a backlash that led to deterioration in the social and political position of Muslim women. This analysis of how and why attempts to Westernize Muslim women ended in catastrophe has contemporary relevance and will be important to students and academics engaged in the study of French and colonial history, feminism, and contemporary Islam.

Download or read book Diablo The Sin War 3 The Veiled Prophet written by Richard A. Knaak and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-09-25 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of time, the angelic forces of the High Heavens and the demonic hordes of the Burning Hells have been locked in the Eternal Conflict for the fate of all Creation. That struggle has now spilled over into Sanctuary -- the world of men. Determined to win mankind over to their respective causes, the forces of good and evil wage a secret war for mortal souls. This is the tale of the Sin War -- the conflict that would forever change the destiny of man. The demon-backed Triune has fallen. All that now stands in Uldyssian's path to freeing humanity is the Cathedral of Light and its charismatic leader the Prophet. But the Prophet is actually the renegade angel Inarius, who sees the world he created as his uncontested domain. Facing a cunning foe that would just as readily see Sanctuary destroyed than let it slip from his grasp, Uldyssian is blind to the others who would possess his world. Both the Burning Hells and the High Heavens now know of Sanctuary...and their warring hosts of demons and angels will stop at nothing to claim it. An original tale of swords, sorcery, and timeless struggle based on the bestselling, award-winning M-rated computer game from Blizzard Entertainment. Intended for mature readers.

Book excerpt: With the invasion of Dara complete, and the Wall of Storms breached, the world has opened to new possibilities for the gods and peoples of both empires as the sweeping saga of the award-winning Dandelion Dynasty continues in this third book of the “magnificent fantasy epic” (NPR). Princess Théra, once known as Empress Üna of Dara, entrusted the throne to her younger brother in order to journey to Ukyu-Gondé to war with the Lyucu. She has crossed the fabled Wall of Storms with a fleet of advanced warships and ten thousand people. Beset by adversity, Théra and her most trusted companions attempt to overcome every challenge by doing the most interesting thing. But is not letting the past dictate the present always possible or even desirable? In Dara, the Lyucu leadership as well as the surviving Dandelion Court bristle with rivalries as currents of power surge and ebb and perspectives spin and shift. Here, parents and children, teachers and students, Empress and Pékyu, all nurture the seeds of plans that will take years to bloom. Will tradition yield to new justifications for power? Everywhere, the spirit of innovation dances like dandelion seeds on the wind, and the commoners, the forgotten, the ignored begin to engineer new solutions for a new age. Ken Liu returns to the series that draws from a tradition of the great epics of our history from the Aeneid to the Romance on the Three Kingdoms and builds a new tale unsurpassed in its scope and ambition.

Download or read book Veil written by Rafia Zakaria and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The veil can be an instrument of feminist empowerment, and veiled anonymity can confer power to women. Starting from her own marriage ceremony at which she first wore a full veil, Rafia Zakaria examines how veils do more than they get credit for. Part memoir and part philosophical investigation, Veil questions that what is seen is always good and free, and that what is veiled can only signal servility and subterfuge. From personal encounters with the veil in France (where it is banned) to Iran (where it is compulsory), Zakaria shows how the garment's reputation as a pre-modern relic is fraught and up for grabs. The veil is an object in constant transformation, whose myriad meanings challenge the absolute truths of patriarchy. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

I could not put this book down and have told all of my friends to get a copy to read. I can't wait for the rest of the series!!! It was a fun refreshing take on magic and creatures. The characters are so captivating. I am glad to see a magic related series that is more female based and has more of the "Supernatural" feel to it.- L. Coffing Added to my collection of urban fantasy beautifully written – Tevin I've read other things by this author, but this one stands head and shoulders above the others!

Keep them coming - don't want to go into withdrawals! – Tami Cowles This is a well-structured and exciting tale, with a magical system that any Fantasy lover would die for. This inspiring first novel shows a promising start to a series and kept a firm grasp on my attention throughout. Trials of Magic makes for an addictive read. Many times, I even found myself shouting at the characters, praying either for their safety or for them to succeed in their endeavors. A true work of fiction with great artistic flair. There is a lot of heart embedded within these pages. Trials of magic is a five-star read and a real credit to Mr. Thomas Carpenter. – Dax Munro TRA I've always enjoyed coming-of-age novels and this one is fantastic. It is Well written, well plotted, and gripping. The characters and plot do not let you go. -PRBC I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The characters are all interesting, I couldn't predict what would happen (which I LOVE), and I can hardly wait to find out what happens next.

It's amazing how real Carpenter makes this world and all the people in it. – Sharon Brigham Spratt Animalians I really love how quickly you fall head over heels for the Animalian Hall. – Yorkiemom The Animalians series is easily one of the most enjoyable reads I have had in the past year.
