Book excerpt: Dans cet essai, Georges Corm entreprend, à la suite de ses précédents ouvrages, une nouvelle plongée historique dans le destin tragique des sociétés de l'Est de la Méditerranée et du monde arabe, carrefour stratégique et géopolitique convoité par les grandes puissances coloniales depuis le XIXe siècle. Une vaste littérature avait été produite à cette époque sur la "question d'Orient", alors qu'il s'agissait en fait des rivalités implacables entre puissances européennes avides de se partager les vastes territoires de l'Empire ottoman. Cet ouvrage rétablit les continuités et les ruptures entre cette ancienne question d'Orient et la "nouvelle question d'Orient", débutant après la Seconde Guerre mondiale et donnant naissance à son tour à des violences ininterrompues, aujourd'hui à leur paroxysme. Georges Corm dénonce aussi bien les tendances hégémoniques de l'Alliance atlantique que le "chaos mental" qui s'est souvent installé à ses yeux auprès des grands décideurs et dans les analyses des médias dominants pour légitimer à nouveau les interventions des puissances occidentales en Orient. Celles-ci ne sont qu'un rebondissement amplifié de l'ancienne question d'Orient, leur cadre intellectuel étant aujourd'hui actualisé par la théorie du "choc des civilisations", héritage de l'ancien racisme de nature coloniale. Le développement exponentiel du terrorisme en provenance de cette partie du monde est le résultat de ce dérèglement de la raison. II peut se comparer aux effets que produit le dérèglement climatique en termes de catastrophes naturelles, elles-mêmes dues à une déraison économique et consumériste que rien ne semble pouvoir arrêter.
Download or read book Against the Current written by Isaiah Berlin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-02 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this outstanding collection of essays, Isaiah Berlin, one of the great thinkers of the twentieth century, discusses the importance of dissenters in the history of ideas--among them Machiavelli, Vico, Montesquieu, Herzen, and Sorel. With his unusual powers of imaginative re-creation, Berlin brings to life original minds that swam against the current of their times--and still challenge conventional wisdom. In a new foreword to this corrected edition, which also includes a new appendix of letters in which Berlin discusses and further illuminates some of its topics, noted essayist Mark Lilla argues that Berlin's decision to give up a philosophy fellowship and become a historian of ideas represented not an abandonment of philosophy but a decision to do philosophy by other, perhaps better, means. "His instinct told him," Lilla writes, "that you learn more about an idea as an idea when you know something about its genesis and understand why certain people found it compelling and were spurred to action by it." This collection of fascinating intellectual portraits is a rich demonstration of that belief.

Download or read book Arabs and Jews in Ottoman Palestine written by Alan Dowty and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When did the Arab-Israeli conflict begin? Some discussions focus on the 1967 war, some go back to the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, and others look to the beginning of the British Mandate in 1922. Alan Dowty, however, traces the earliest roots of the conflict to the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century, arguing that this historical approach highlights constant clashes between religious and ethnic groups in Palestine. He demonstrates that existing Arab residents viewed new Jewish settlers as European and shares evidence of overwhelming hostility to foreigners from European lands. He shows that Jewish settlers had tremendous incentive to minimize all obstacles to settlement, including the inconvenient hostility of the existing population. Dowty's thorough research reveals how events that occurred over 125 years ago shaped the implacable conflict that dominates the Middle East today.
Download or read book Laboratory for World Destruction written by Robert S. Wistrich and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published and distributed for the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism During the sixty years between the founding of Bismarck’s German Empire and Hitler’s rise to power, German-speaking Jews left a profound mark on Central Europe and on twentieth-century culture as a whole. How would the modern world look today without Einstein, Freud, or Marx? Without Mahler, Schoenberg, Wittgenstein, or Kafka? Without a whole galaxy of other outstanding Jewish scientists, poets, playwrights, composers, critics, historians, sociologists, psychoanalysts, jurists, and philosophers? How was it possible that this vibrant period in Central European cultural history collapsed into the horror and mass murder of the Nazi Holocaust? Was there some connection between the dazzling achievements of these Jews and the ferocity of the German backlash? Robert S. Wistrich’s Laboratory for World Destruction is a bold and penetrating study of the fateful symbiosis between Germans and Jews in Central Europe, which culminated in the tragic denouement of the Holocaust. Wistrich shows that the seeds of the catastrophe were already sown in the Hapsburg Empire, which would become, in Karl Kraus’s words, “an experimental station in the destruction of the world.” Featured are incisive chapters on Freud, Herzl, Lueger, Kraus, Nordau, Nietzsche, and Hitler, along with a sweeping panorama of the golden age of Central European Jewry before the lights went out in Europe.

Download or read book Dangerous Gifts written by Ozan Ozavci and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Egypt in 1798 to the foreign interventions in the ongoing civil wars in Syria, Yemen, and Libya today, global empires or the so-called Great Powers have long assumed the responsibility to bring security in the Middle East. The past two centuries have witnessed their numerous military occupations to 'liberate', 'secure' and 'educate' local populations. They staged first 'humanitarian' interventions in history and established hitherto unseen international and local security institutions. Consulting fresh primary sources collected from some thirty archives in the Middle East, Russia, the United States, and Western Europe, Dangerous Gifts revisits the late eighteenth and nineteenth century origins of these imperial security practices. It explicates how it all began. Why did Great Power interventions in the Ottoman Levant tend to result in further turmoil and civil wars? Why has the region been embroiled in a paradox-an ever-increasing demand despite the increasing supply of security-ever since? It embeds this highly pertinent genealogical history into an innovative and captivating narrative around the Eastern Question, emancipating the latter from the monopoly of Great Power politics, and foregrounding the experience of the Levantine actors. It explores the gradual yet still forceful opening up of the latter's economies to global free trade, the asymmetrical implementation of international law in their perspective, and the secondary importance attached to their threat perceptions in a world where political and economic decisions were ultimately made through the filter of global imperial interests.
