A History of Eastern Christianity (1968) is a scholarly and
comprehensive account of the history of the non-Greek churches of
Eastern Christendom. Alexandrine and Antiochian Christianity, with
their ramifications in Africa and Asia, are the subjects of an
overall survey that ranges from their origins to modern times. The
author deals with every Eastern Church, Coptic, Ethiopian,
Jacobite, Nestorian, Armenian, Indian and Maronite, as well as the
vanished churches of Nubia and North Africa. He gives a preliminary
outline of each church, followed by an analytical summary of the
faith and culture. He deals not only with the hierarchy, rites,
ceremonials and monastic rule, but also with music, art,
architecture and literature.
Giving voice to the lived experiences of people with dementia
across the globe, including Australia, Canada, Sweden and the UK,
this critical and evidence-based collection engages with the
realities of life for people living with dementia at home and
within their neighbourhoods. This insightful text addresses the
fundamental social aspects of environment, including place
attachment, belonging and connectivity. The chapters reveal the
potential and expose the challenges for practitioners and
researchers as dementia care shifts to a neighbourhood setting. The
unique 'neighbourhood-centred' perspective provides an innovative
guide for policy and practice and calls for a new place-based
culture of care and support in the neighbourhood.
Latinos are the fastest growing population group in the U.S. and
have exerted widespread influence in numerous aspects of American
culture from entertainment to economics. Unlike Asian, black,
white, and Native Americans who are defined by race, Latinos can be
of any race and are beginning to shed new light on the meanings and
political implications of race. As the Latino population grows, how
will Latinos come to define themselves racially given the long
standing social order of black and white? What are the political
implications of their chosen racial identities? How does Latinos'
racial identity influence their political behavior and motivation
for participation? The Politics of Race in Latino Communities is an
innovative examination of development and political consequences of
Latino racial identity in the U.S. Drawing on a national political
survey of Latinos and focus group interviews, the book shows that
development of Latino racial identity is a complex interaction
between primordial ties, institutional practices, individual
characteristics, and social interactions. Furthermore, the book
highlights the political relevance of identity, showing that racial
identity has meaningful consequences for the political attitudes,
opinions, and behaviors of Latinos. An important piece of research
propelling new discussions and insights into Latino politics.

Between 1948 and 1957, a period that witnessed two wars between
Egypt and Israel, 60,000 members of Egypt's 75,000-strong Jewish
population left the country, compelled by growing hostility to them
because of their presumed links to Zionism, economic insecurity,
and after 1956, overt expulsion. Decades later, during the 1980s
and 1990s, the personal reminiscences of eight Egyptian Jewish
women, presently residents of New York who had left Egypt, were
meticulously collected by Nayra Atiya. While Atiya's sample of
eight narrators represents only a tiny percentage of the Jews who
left Egypt, their accounts tell us much about the middle- and
upper-class Jews who migrated to the Americas and Europe, giving us
a vivid sense of their lives in Egypt before their departure and
the dynamic role they played in Egyptian society. They were the
children or grandchildren of generations of Jews who migrated to
Egypt from around or near the Mediterranean to escape economic
hardship and persecution or, in one case, a family conflict. With
one exception, Atiya's interlocutors resided in relatively upscale
neighborhoods in Egypt near other Jewish families. They lived in
elegant apartments, with servants, fine foods, memberships in elite
clubs, and summers spent near Alexandria or in Europe. In Zikrayat,
Atiya movingly captures the essence of these women's characters and
experiences, the fabric of their day-to-day lives, and the complex,
many-layered mood of those times in Egypt. In doing so she brings
to life the ties that bind all Egyptians, offering a glimpse into a
now vanished world-and the heartbreak of exile and migration.
This novel of the harem, originally published in 1958, is a
dramatisation of a piece of Egyptian feminine and feminist history.
Set at the turn of the century, when Egyptian women were struggling
to come forward, it tells the story of life behind the veil and of
one woman's rebellion against it.

First published in 1940, but translated here for the first time,
this work comprises three poignant novellas of love and death in
the Egyptian countryside.
The heroines of Out El Kouloub's Three Tales tells the stories
of Nazira, Zahira, and Zarifa, whose narratives afford the rest of
the world a glimpse of the "veiled" culture from an insider's
perspective.
Throughout the book, Out El Kouloub takes the reader to a
variety of colorful locations -- through streets, bazaars, holy
sites and homes of Cairo. Her stories take her characters into the
intimate geographical and psychological space of different classes
and upbringings that make up Egyptian life. This is an Egypt
described not by an orientalist but by an Egyptian woman who has
either lived or observed the experiences that form the fabric of
her written work.
Three Tales is a companion volume to Ramza and Zanouba, also by
Out El Kouloub, and each translated from the French by Nayra
Atiya.
