Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eclairer l'Obscurité (Illuminating the Darkness en anglais) traite du statut des noirs et des Nord-Africains en Islam. Le livre est divise en deux parties: la premiere partie explore les concepts de race, de "negritude", d'esclavage, de mariages mixtes et de racisme au sein de l'Islam et a la lumiere du Coran, des Hadiths (traditions prophetiques) et de sources historiques anciennes. La seconde partie du livre est composee d'un recueil de courtes biographies de nobles musulmans noirs et Nord-Africains dans l'histoire musulmane, incluant des prophetes, des compagnions du Prophete ainsi que des personnages historiques plus recents.Cela fournit un apercu fascinant de l'ensemble des civilisations africaines, de la resistance violente organisee contre le colonialisme et aussi des brillants savants d'une tradition souvent oubliee qui nourrirent cette histoire. Le lecteur n'a besoin d'aucune precision lors de la lecture de ce livre, si ce n'est celle que l'auteur s'efforce de clarifier tout du long : le din de l'Islam n'est pas seulement exempt de racisme, mais il y est tout a fait oppose, le considerant comme etant la forme la plus aberrante de la jahiliyyah (l'ignorance).

Book French Today

    Book Details:
  • Author : Carol Sanders
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 1993-04-08
  • ISBN : 9780521396950
  • Pages : 348 pages

Download or read book French Today written by Carol Sanders and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-04-08 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French Today is a profile of the French language in its social context. British and French linguists examine trends in French throughout the French-speaking world, and address issues around prescriptivism, gender and language, and regional languages and dialects. The collection includes overviews of work done in particular areas and deeper analyses of sociolinguistic questions. One theme is how to represent and interpret data relating to language varieties that have been marginalised. Another concerns the ways in which French is adapting to the future, whether as a language of new technology, or as a vehicular language on the continent. All chapters of this book are in English, with examples and quotations in French, and a mixture of references given in both languages. At the end of each chapter, there are also texts in French, serving as illustration and as pointers to further reading.

Book Arabic Dialogues

    Book Details:
  • Author : Rachel Mairs
  • Publisher : UCL Press
  • Release : 2024-03-04
  • ISBN : 1800086180
  • Pages : 573 pages

Download or read book Arabic Dialogues written by Rachel Mairs and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2024-03-04 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century, more Europeans visited the Middle East than ever before, as tourists, archaeologists, pilgrims, settler-colonists and soldiers. These visitors engaged with the Arabic language to differing degrees. While some were serious scholars of Classical Arabic, in the Orientalist mould, many did not learn the language at all. Between these two extremes lies a neglected group of language learners who wanted to learn enough everyday colloquial Arabic to get by. The needs of these learners were met by popular language books, which boasted that they could provide an easy route to fluency in a difficult language. Arabic Dialogues explores the motivations of Arabic learners and effectiveness of instructional materials, principally in Egypt and Palestine, by analysing a corpus of Arabic phrasebooks published in nine languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Yiddish, Hebrew, Russian) and in the territory of twenty-five modern countries. Beginning with Napoleon’s Expédition d’Égypte (1798–1801), it moves through the periods of mass tourism and European colonialism in the Middle East, concluding with the Second World War. The book also considers how Arab intellectuals understood the project of teaching Arabic to foreigners, the remarkable history of Arabic-learning among Yiddish- and Hebrew-speaking immigrants in Palestine, and the networks of language learners, teachers and plagiarists who produced these phrasebooks.

Book Luxembourgish Standardization

Download or read book Luxembourgish Standardization written by Gerald Stell and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to lend a democratic dimension to the cultivation of that linguistic distinctness, the imagery of a Luxembourgish 'folk standard", natural and regionally inclusive, has provided the other main source of justification for the puristic choices made throughout the process of feature selection." "This book attempts to shed light on the modalities of interaction between the ideology of linguistic distantiation and Luxembourg's language reality. Beside, the modalities of that interaction are placed within the wider perspective offered by the case of standard West Frisian, a linguistic entity likewise largely defined by contrast with a genetically related neighbour and H-language, i.e. Dutch."

Book Centres et p  riph  ries de la litt  rature mondiale

Download or read book Centres et p riph ries de la litt rature mondiale written by Amaury Dehoux and published by Editions Publibook. This book was released on 2018 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En tant que système, la littérature mondiale établit des connexions mouvantes entre différentes zones géographiques, culturelles et linguistiques. C'est pourquoi les notions de centre et de périphérie se voient constamment renouvelées et demeurent d'une grande fécondité pour la critique littéraire aujourd'hui. Le présent ouvrage s'intéresse précisément à quelques actualisations remarquables du binôme centre-périphérie dans la littérature contemporaine. Il envisage les dynamiques, les dispositifs et les problématiques propres à diverses littératures non occidentales, qu'elles soient européennes (Bulgarie, Slovénie) ou extra-européennes (océan Indien, Caraïbes, monde arabe). Il interroge sur cette base la pensée du relatif et de l'universel, qui sous-tend toute littérature, et le devenir d'une telle pensée à l'ère de la globalisation."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Algeria in Others  Languages

Download or read book Algeria in Others Languages written by Anne-Emmanuelle Berger and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades the superimposition of languages in Algeria has had growing cultural and political consequences. The relations between identity and language, already complicated before independence, became all the more entangled after 1962 when the new state imposed standard Arabic as the sole national language. The vernacular brand of Arabic spoken by the majority of the population--as well as Berber, spoken by an important minority--were denied legitimacy. Moreover, French, the colonial language, continued to be important all the while that its position changed. The violence that ensued in the late 1980s cannot be fully understood without considering the politics of language. This timely book is devoted to Algeria's linguistic predicament and the underlying disagreements over notions of identity, power, and belonging.What problems arise when a new national language is adopted by a postcolonial state? How does the status of the former colonial language change? What becomes of the original "mother tongue(s)" of the populace? The authors of Algeria in Others' Languages address these questions as they explore the historical, cultural, and philosophical significance of language in Algeria, and its relation to issues of politics and gender. Their topics range from analyses of political violence to the status of the principal of evidence in the legal system to the place of "Francophonie" in the 1990s.The authors represent the fields of literature, history, sociology, sociolinguistics, and postcolonial and gender studies; some are also historical players in Algeria's linguistic debates.

Book Entanglements of the Maghreb

Download or read book Entanglements of the Maghreb written by Julius Dihstelhoff and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impulse for the recent transformations in the Arab world came from the Maghreb. Research on the region has been on the rise since, yet much remains to be done when it comes to interdisciplinary comparative research. The Maghreb is a heterogeneous region that deserves thorough investigation. This volume focuses on Entanglements as a cross-field and cross-lingual concept to generate a new approach to the region and its inner interdependencies as well as exchanges with other regions. Eminent researchers conceptualize Entanglements through the description of various thematic fields and actors in motion, addressing culture, politics, social affairs, and economics.

Book Democracy  Culture  and Social Change in North Africa

Download or read book Democracy Culture and Social Change in North Africa written by Moha Ennaji and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-22 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume serves to make sense of the political, cultural, and social change that has occurred in North Africa since the Arab Spring. It includes a number of contributions which address the issue of democracy and cultural identity. The book points to the fact that North Africa needs a workable paradigm for political order, which answers to the economic, social, and cultural challenges and peculiarities of African society in an increasingly globalizing world. This will require that we eschew a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. The book, which targets students, academia, and civil society, argues that North Africa’s solutions must be defined and advised by policies which reflect the cultural realities of the society they are intended to serve.

The book also provides a regional perspective through global case studies and encourages Arabic experts to search for better models of instruction and best practices beyond the American experience.
