Based on a wealth of new primary data, this book offers the first
account of the internal regime factors that ultimately caused the
fall of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali's long dictatorship in Tunisia
during the Arab Uprisings. Anne Wolf's account challenges studies
that focus on the role of mass mobilization alone, and demonstrates
that in the last decade of Ben Ali's presidency, dissent within his
ruling party - the Constitutional Democratic Rally - mounted to
such an extent that followers began challenging their own
powerbroker. The culmination of this was a secret coup d'état
staged by regime figures against Ben Ali in January 2011, an event
that has not previously been uncovered. Wolf proposes a new theory
of power and contention within ruling parties in authoritarian
regimes to explain how dictators seek to fortify their rule and
foster party-political stability, but also when, why, and how they
succumb to internal contention and with what effect.
Political Islam in Tunisia uncovers the secret history of Tunisia's
main Islamist movement, Ennahda, from its origins in the 1960s to
the present. Banned until the popular uprisings of 2010-11 and the
overthrow of Ben Ali's dictatorship, Ennahda has until now been
impossible to investigate. This is the first in-depth account of
the movement, one of Tunisia's most influential political actors.
Drawing on more than four years of field research, over 400
interviews, and access to private archives, Anne Wolf masterfully
unveils the evolution of Ennahda's ideological and strategic
orientations within changing political contexts and, at times,
conflicting ambitions amongst its leading cadres. She also explores
the challenges to Ennahda's quest for power from both secularists
and Salafis. As the first full history of Ennahda, this book is a
major contribution to the literature on Tunisia, Islamist
movements, and political Islam in the Arab world. It will be
indispensable reading for anyone seeking to understand the forces
driving a key player in the country most hopeful of pursuing a
democratic trajectory in the wake of the Arab Spring.

The first of its kind, this text examines nursing ideas and
theories from a historical, theoretical, and professional lens. As
a foundation for socialization into the professional nursing role,
the book demonstrates the contextual development as nursing as a
profession, highlighting the connections between the social history
of nursing and health care; the evolution of nursing theory,
practice and research; and the resulting challenges of our past,
present, and future. Section One examines the critical threads in
nursing ideas gender, culture, race, community, environment, and
technology. Section Two traces the history of theory development,
from the philosophical underpinnings of ways of knowing in nursing,
nursing science, to application of theory in nursing practice.
Section Three analyzes professional practice, education, and
research.
The first career-spanning catalog of the work of Gianfranco
Gorgoni, whose iconic photographs established Land Art as one of
the major art movements of the twentieth century. For five decades,
photographer Gianfranco Gorgoni (1941-2019) built his reputation as
the premier documentarian of Land Art in the US and beyond. After
leaving Italy, Gorgoni started making portraits of the major
artists of the New York scene, including Michael Heizer, Robert
Smithson, Nancy Holt, Walter De Maria, Carl Andre, and Richard
Serra. It was not long before he was traveling with Heizer,
Smithson, and De Maria to the American West in the late 1960s to
plot the works that would famously break art practice out of the
confines of the gallery world. In Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah,
these artists embarked on major Land Art installations that would
redefine contemporary art practice of the era. In many cases,
Gorgoni was the only photographer on the ground to document their
projects, and his images often serve as the definitive photographic
record of the planning and creation of these groundbreaking works.
Published to coincide with the first major exhibition of Gorgoni's
photographic Land Art images at the Nevada Museum of Art, featuring
over fifty of his large-scale photographs, Gianfranco Gorgoni: Land
Art Photographs includes an introduction by Ann M. Wolfe, Andrea
and John C. Deane Family senior curator and deputy director at the
Nevada Museum of Art, an essay by the late art historian and critic
Germano Celant, whose contribution here is among the last he wrote
before his death in 2020, and William L. Fox, the Peter E. Pool
Director of the Center for Art + Environment. A landmark collection
of photographs of legendary and lesser-known works by Michael
Heizer, Walter De Maria, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Richard Serra,
Robert Smithson, Ugo Rondinone, and Charles Ross, Gianfranco
Gorgoni: Land Art Photographs is a major new assessment of one of
the world's great art movements.
