Will Saudi Arabia join the democratic wave in the Middle East?
Despite being surrounded by states experiencing uprisings and
revolutions, Saudi Arabia appears to be a "black hole" for
democracy in the Middle East - secretive, highly repressive and
still propped up by the West.
The Islamic Utopia uses a range of sources including first-hand
reporting and recently released WikiLeaks documents to examine
Saudi Arabia in the decade after the 9/11 attacks, when King
Abdullah's "reform" agenda took center stage in public debate. It
considers Saudi claims of "exemption" from the democratic demands
of the Arab Spring. Andrew Hammond argues that for too long Western
media and governments have accepted Saudi leaders' claims to be a
buttress against jihadist Islam and that a new policy is needed
towards the House of Saud.
In countries worldwide, the Cold War dominated politics, society
and culture during the second half of the twentieth century. Global
Cold War Literatures offers a unique look at the multiple ways in
which writers from Asia, Africa, Europe and North and South America
addressed the military conflicts, revolutions, propaganda wars and
ideological debates of the era. While including essays on western
European and North American literature, the volume views First
World writing, not as central to the period, but as part of an
international discussion of Cold War realities in which the most
interesting contributions often came from marginal or subordinate
cultures. To this end, there is an emphasis on the literatures of
the Second and Third Worlds, including essays on Latin American
poetry, Soviet travel writing, Chinese autobiography, African
theatre, North Korean literature, Cuban and eastern European
fiction, and Middle Eastern fiction and poetry. With the post-Cold
War era still in a condition of emergence, it is essential that we
look back to the 1945-89 period to understand the political and
cultural forces that shaped the modern world. The volume's analysis
of those forces and its focus on many of the hot spots' --
Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea -- that define the contemporary war
on terror', make this an essential resources for those working in
Postcolonial, American and English Literatures, as well as in
History, Comparative Literature, European Studies and Cultural
Studies. Global Cold War Literatures is a suitable companion volume
to Hammond's Cold War Literature: Writing the Global Conflict, also
available from Routledge.
The Cold War was the longest conflict in a century defined by
the scale and brutality of its conflicts. In the battle between the
democratic West and the communist East there was barely a year in
which the West was not organising, fighting or financing some
foreign war. It was an engagement that resulted in Korea,
Guatemala, Nicaragua and elsewhere in some twenty million dead.
This collection of essays analyses the literary response to the
coups, insurgencies and invasions that took place around the globe,
and explores the various thematic and stylistic trends that Cold
War hostilities engendered in world writing.
Drawing together scholars of various cultural backgrounds, the
volume focuses upon such themes as representation, nationalism,
political resistance, globalisation and ideological scepticism.
Eschewing the typical focus in Cold War scholarship on Western
authors and genres, there is an emphasis on the literary voices
that emerged from what are often considered the peripheral regions
of Cold War geo-politics.
Ranging in focus from American postmodernism to Vietnamese
poetry, from Cuban autobiography to Maoist theatre, and from
African fiction to Soviet propaganda, this book will be of real
interest to all those working in twentieth-century literary
studies, cultural studies, history and politics.

This collection of essays locates, investigates and challenges the
manner in which the Balkans and the West have constructed each
other since 1945. Scholars from the two sections of the continent
explore a wide range of fiction, film, journalism, travel writing
and diplomatic records both to analyse Western European balkanism
and to study Balkan representations of the West over the last fifty
years. The first section looks back to the Cold War, examining the
divergent, often favourable images of the Balkans that existed in
Western culture, as well as the variety of responses that appeared
in South-East European writings on the West. The second section
analyses the transitions that took place in representation during
the 1990s. Here, contributors explore both the harsh denigration of
the Balkans which came to dominate western discourse after the
initial euphoria of 1989, and the emerging tradition of contesting
Western balkanism in South-East European cultural production.
Through this dual emphasis, the volume exposes the representational
practices that help to maintain a deeply divided Europe, and
challenges the economic and political injustices that result.
Despite the rise to prominence of postcolonial theory, with its
awareness of global inequality, the current crises in many parts of
South-East Europe have received scant attention in literary and
cultural studies. The Balkans and the West addresses this
deficiency. Ranging in focus from Serbian cinema to Romanian travel
literature, from Western economic writings to Yugoslav fiction, and
from public discourse in Albania to NATO's vast propaganda machine,
the essays offer wide insight into representation and power in the
contemporary European context.
This book examines the ways in which fiction has addressed the
continent since the Second World War. Drawing on novelists from
Europe and elsewhere, the volume analyzes the literary response to
seven dominant concerns (ideas of Europe, conflict, borders,
empire, unification, migration, and marginalization), offering a
ground-breaking study of how modern and contemporary writers have
participated in the European debate. The sixteen essays view the
chosen writers, not as representatives of national literatures, but
as participants in transcontinental discussion that has occurred
across borders, cultures, and languages. In doing so, the
contributors raise questions about the forms of power operating
across and radiating from Europe, challenging both the
institutionalized divisions of the Cold War and the triumphalist
narrative of continental unity currently being written in Brussels.
This book is the first comprehensive study of mainstream British
dystopian fiction and the Cold War. Drawing on over 200 novels and
collections of short stories, the monograph explores the ways in
which dystopian texts charted the lived experiences of the period,
offering an extended analysis of authors' concerns about the
geopolitical present and anxieties about the national future.
Amongst the topics addressed are the processes of Cold War
(autocracy, militarism, propaganda, intelligence, nuclear
technologies), the decline of Britain's standing in global politics
and the reduced status of intellectual culture in Cold War Britain.
Although the focus is on dystopianism in the work of mainstream
authors, including George Orwell, Doris Lessing, J.G. Ballard,
Angela Carter and Anthony Burgess, a number of science-fiction
novels are also discussed, making the book relevant to a wide range
of researchers and students of twentieth-century British
literature.

Once disturbed, the treasure's protectors are out to enact
terrifying revenge... Have the CRYPT team got what it takes to
silence the ghosts of the past?
A figure wearing a white mask swoops down a deserted hospital
corridor towards a quarantined patient. Covered in black sores and
writhing in agony the patient can't be saved by modern medicine.
But then, the masked figure is not a modern doctor... Bodies are
being discovered all over London, all marked with the same black
sores - it seems a contagious disease is spreading across the city.
But when witnesses all report seeing the same mysterious masked
figure it seems there's something more sinister going on. This is a
case for CRYPT: a team of elite teenage agents who use their extra
sensory perception and arsenal of high-tech gadgets to investigate
crimes that the police can't solve.
