Download or read book Critical Muslim 49 Southern Africa written by Ziauddin Sardar and published by Critical Muslim. This book was released on 2024-01-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not to be confused with South Africa, the country, Southern Africa is a subtropical and temperate region comprising many culturally, ethnically and religiously diverse nations, including Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and the vast desert in the middle formed into the shape of Namibia. Southern Africa's varying success is connected to its rich natural resources: Zambia is laden with copper mines, while neighboring countries hold the world's largest deposits of platinum, uranium and gold; South Africa is well-known for its diamonds, which only partly explain its status as Africa's richest country. Yet the region's potential for prosperity remains blocked by legacies of the colonial scramble for Africa. South Africa still struggles with the trauma of apartheid, while World Bank debts have hollowed out the financial capacity of countries like Zambia and Mozambique. Meanwhile, China is expanding its influence through trade and cultural cooperation. This issue lifts the lid on an oft-neglected region and asks what we can know about Southern Africa-past, present and future. About 'Critical Muslim': A quarterly publication of ideas and issues showcasing groundbreaking thinking on Islam and what it means to be a Muslim in a rapidly changing, interconnected world.

Download or read book Muslim Education and Education of Muslims written by Akhtar-Saeed Bhutta and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the Muslim community in Glasgow, the largest in Scotland. The establishment of the first successful independent Muslim school in Scotland is used as a backdrop to ascertain the Muslim perspective on educational issues. Issues related to Muslim or Islamic education including race, ethnicity, Islamophobia and identity of Muslim children are explored. Mosque-schools and related institutions that supplement the education of Muslim children are discussed and contextualised to appreciate fully the experiences of Muslim children in Scotland. Historical developments pertaining to the establishment of the Muslim school have been explored. Parents who send their children to the Muslim independent school have been interviewed to establish the reasons for their choice as have the parents who have decided not to support the Muslim school by sending their children to it. A survey of a larger sample of the Muslim community was carried out to gauge their opinions about educational issues and determine their priorities. The results should be of interest to those who work in the fields of multicultural education, ethnic minority issues and social inclusion.
Download or read book No Problem Here written by Neil Davidson and published by Luath Press Ltd. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does Scotland have a problem with racism? With its 'civic nationalism' and 'welcoming' attitude towards migrants and refugees, Scotland is understood to be relatively free of structural and institutional racism. As the contributors to this book show, such generalisations fail to withstand serious investigation. Their research into the historical record and contemporary reality tells a very different story. Opening up a debate on a subject that has been shut down for too long, No Problem Here gathers together the views of academics, activists and anti-racism campaigners who argue that it is vital that the issue of racism be brought into the centre of public discourse. Scotland's role in maintaining and extending slavery across the British Empire is finally beginning to receive the attention it deserves. Yet there is much more that needs to be said about racism in Scotland today.

Download or read book Surfacing written by Kathleen Jamie and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[Kathleen Jamie’s] essays guide you softly along coastlines of varying continents, exploring caves, and pondering ice ages until the narrator stumbles over — not a rock on the trail, but mortality, maybe the earth’s, maybe our own, pointing to new paths forward through the forest.” —Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing, “By the Book” in The New York Times Book Review. An immersive exploration of time and place in a shrinking world, from the award-winning author of Sightlines. In this remarkable blend of memoir, cultural history, and travelogue, poet and author Kathleen Jamie touches points on a timeline spanning millennia, and considers what surfaces and what reconnects us to our past. From the thawing tundra linking a Yup'ik village in Alaska to its hunter-gatherer past to the shifting sand dunes revealing the impressiely preserved homes of neolithic farmers in Scotland, Jamie explores how the changing natural world can alter our sense of time. Most movingly, she considers, as her father dies and her children leave home, the surfacing of an older, less tethered sense of herself. In precise, luminous prose, Surfacing offers a profound sense of time passing and an antidote to all that is instant, ephemeral, unrooted.
Download or read book Islam and Security in the West written by Stefano Bonino and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What changes have the terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001 and the subsequent attacks in Europe brought to Western societies? In what ways have these events and their aftermath impacted on the relationships between Muslim communities and Western societies? This book explores the remaking of the relationship between Islam and Islamism, on the one hand, and security and securitization, on the other hand, by arguing that 9/11 and its aftermath have led to the opening of a new phase in Western and European history and have remade the relationship between Islam and governmental and societal approaches to security. The authors utilize case studies across the Western world to understand this relationship.
