This book provokes a debate between social theory and Islamic
studies. Drawing on theories of successive modernities, sociology
of religion, and poststructuralist approaches to modern
subjectivity formation, it introduces a novel analytical framework
to the study of Middle Eastern societies. The authors explore ways
in which Muslims have constructed meaningful modern selfhoods,
providing their reader with unique insights into the ongoing social
transformation of the Middle East. Making Islamic charities and
youth organizations their primary site of investigation, they
combine studies on Islamic reform with case studies on social
activism in Egypt and Jordan. In criticizing theses about the
alleged uniqueness of Western modernity, the book challenges
exclusivist assumptions about both Western modernity and
contemporary Islamic ways of life. In this way, it makes original
contributions to conceptual discussions on modernity and our
knowledge of modern Muslim societies.
Examining modern Muslim identity constructions, the authors
introduce a novel analytical framework to Islamic Studies, drawing
on theories of successive modernities, sociology of religion, and
poststructuralist approaches to modern subjectivity, as well as the
results of extensive fieldwork in the Middle East, particularly
Egypt and Jordan.
It would have been difficult at the beginning of the 80's to have
predicted that by the end of the decade, Medical Virology would
have become one of the most important topics in the area of both
basic and clinical research. Although we were expecting a
progressive increase in awareness of the role played by viruses in
different diseases, we did not expect the outbreak of a fatal
disease that was going to shake the roots of our society. The
appearance of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) in the early
80's, has prompted a unique re search impetus in the area of
Medical Virology. The knowledge that we are gaining in our attempt
to understand the biology of HIV-1 and the immuno logical response
to this virus should not only help us control the spread of this
virus, but should also help us to better understand other viral
infections. Let us hope that during the 1990's we can learn how to
control HIV-1 infections so that by the end of the decade, no more
human lives succumb to an infection with this virus. Luis M. de la

This qualitative study was designed to gain an in-depth
understanding of the role of the principal in successfully
improving English Language Learner (ELL) educational outcomes in
high poverty schools. It is based on interviews with five
elementary principals who were employed by Hillsboro School
District during the SET-R grant from school years 2007-2010. Three
questions guided this study. First, how do the principals promote
or implement school culture expectations and best instructional
practices in elementary schools with high ELL populations? Second,
what level of general knowledge about leadership characteristics do
the principals possess whose students performed well academically
as measured by OAKS in elementary schools with high ELL
populations? Third, what do the principals regard as an effective
approaches to comprehensively serve ELL populations? This topic
continues to be a concern for administrators given the persistent
achievement gap between ELLs and their peers at the secondary level
despite some gains in the primary grade levels.
This book is a collection of short stories about events, people and
places of life growing up in rural Iowa spanning several decades of
the early and middle Twentieth Century. Most of the stories are
real events and memories. A few are fictional accounts, but are
based on real people and places. The author's Danish ancestors
colored the events of the author's life, but many events were
common to all people of the era. The stories relate the experience
of intense joys and deep sorrows as well as the every day events of
life, weaving the necessary lessons to be learned into the fabric
of life in that era.
