This 9th edition of Martin Gilbert’s Atlas of Jewish History
spans over four thousand years of history in 196 maps, starting
with the worldwide migration of the Jews from ancient Mesopotamia
and coming up into the first decades of the twenty-first century.
It presents a vivid picture of a fascinating people and the trials
and tribulations which have haunted the Jewish story, as well as
Jewish achievements. The themes covered include: Prejudice and
Violence – from the destruction of Jewish independence between
722 and 586 BC to the flight from German persecution in the 1930s.
Also covers the incidence of anti-Semitic attacks in the Americas
and Europe. Migrations and Movements – from ancient dispersals
from the promised land, to new maps on the ingathering of exiles
from Arab and Muslim lands from 1948, and from the break-up of the
Soviet Union in 1992. Society, Trade and Culture – from Jewish
trade routes between 800 and 900, the geography of the Jews of
China, of India, to communal life in the ghettoes and the situation
of world Jewry in the opening years of the twenty-first century.
Politics, Government and War – from the Court Jews of the
fifteenth century to the founding and growth of the modern State of
Israel. This new edition now includes an additional 39 of Martin
Gilbert’s maps, across the whole range of Jewish history,
originally published across a range of publications, now gathered
in this one volume for the first time. Over 50 years on from its
first publication, this book is still an indispensable guide to
Jewish history.

How did America’s white evangelicals, from often progressive
history, come to right-wing populism? Addressing populism requires
understanding how its historico-cultural roots ground present
politics. How have the very qualities that contributed much to
American vibrancy—an anti-authoritarian government-wariness and
energetic community-building—turned, under conditions of
distress, to defensive, us-them worldviews? Readers will gain an
understanding of populism and of the socio-political and religious
history from which populism draws its us-them policies and
worldview. The book ponders the tragic cast of the white
evangelical story: (i) the distorting effects of economic and
way-of-life duress on the understanding of history and present
circumstances and (ii) the tragedy of choosing us-them solutions to
duress that won’t relieve it, leaving the duress in place.
Readers will trace the trajectory from economic, status loss, and
way-of-life duresses to solutions in populist, us-them binaries.
They will explore the robust white evangelical contribution to
civil society but also to racism, xenophobia, and sexism. White
evangelicals not in the ranks of the right—their worldview and
activism—are discussed in a final chapter. This book is valuable
reading for students of political and social sciences as well as
anyone interested in US politics.
The fast consolidating identities along religious and ethnic lines
in recent years have considerably 'minoritised' Muslims in India.
The wide-ranging essays in this volume focus on the intensified
exclusionary practices against Indian Muslims, highlighting how,
amidst a politics of violence, confusing policy frameworks on caste
and class lines, and institutionalised riot systems, the community
has also suffered from the lack of leadership from within. At the
same time, they have emerged as a 'mass' around which the politics
of 'vote bank', 'appeasement', 'foreigners', 'Pakistanis within the
country', etc. are innovated and played upon, making them further
apprehensive about asserting their legitimate right to development.
The important issue of the double marginalisation of Muslim women
and attempts to reform the Muslim Personal Law by some civil
society groups is also discussed. Contributed by academics,
activists and journalists, the articles thus discuss issues of
integration, exclusion and violence, and attempt to understand
categories like 'identity', 'minority', 'multiculturalism', and
'nationalism' with regard to and in the context of Indian Muslims.
The volume will be of great interest to those in sociology,
politics, history, cultural studies, minority studies, Islamic
studies, policy studies, geography, etc.
Explores the nature and function of bhakti or devotional
involvement in religious practice in India in areas where it is
seldom sought or where its existence has been doubted or even
denied.
