This book uses the tools of the arts, humanities, social sciences,
and other fields to address challenges faced by women and girls
around the world, both historically and in modern day, with an
emphasis on intersectionality.
How do Muslim citizens across the globe perceive the European
Union? And what factors influence their EU attitudes? This book
offers the first systematic theoretical and empirical analysis of
Muslim citizens' EU attitudes in and outside the European Union.
Using the best empirical data available, the book demonstrates that
Muslim citizens' attitudes are not shaped by their denomination and
religious beliefs, but by material and political considerations. It
finds that Muslims are most favourable toward the EU due to their
positive experiences in European contexts, whereas in contrast,
Muslim citizens outside the EU are more skeptical toward the
European Union due to sovereignty concerns and the lack of support
from the EU and its member states. Such findings not only
contribute to the research on social legitimacy of international
organizations and international public opinion more generally, but
also provide important suggestions for (European) policy makers
regarding external and domestic policies. This book will be of key
interest to scholars, students and practitioners of European Union
politics, Middle East studies, public opinion and International
Relations.

The Intersectionality of Women's Lives and Resistance uses the
tools of the arts, humanities, social sciences, and other fields to
address challenges faced by women and girls around the world, both
historically and in modern day, with an emphasis on
intersectionality. Contributors offer interdisciplinary analyses of
how gender intersects with race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and
other identity markers in complex ways, and how these are tied to
the interconnected nature of systems of oppression, power, and
privilege.
This book analyses the attitudes of Muslim citizens toward
international and regional actors. In essence, the project examines
whether Muslim public opinion is in favor of the current
international order and if there is an ideal type of international
governance perceived by Muslim citizens. The author connects the
analysis to the literature of international public opinion and to
the research on social legitimacy of international and global
governance. It is ideal for scholarly audiences interested in
Islamic, International and Global Governance Studies.
WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY TARAN KHAN, author of Shadow City
TRANSLATED FROM BENGALI BY NAZES AFROZ An intrepid traveller and
true cosmopolitan, legendary Bengali writer Syed Mujtaba Ali spent
a year and a half teaching in Kabul from 1927 to 1929. Curious to
explore Afghan society, Mujtaba Ali had access to a cross-section
of Kabul's population, and in In a Land Far from Home he chronicles
his experiences with a keen eye and a wicked sense of humour.
Mujtaba Ali's travels coincided with a critical point in
Afghanistan's history: when the reformist King Amanullah tried to
steer his country towards modernity by encouraging education for
girls and giving them the choice of removing the burqa. Branded a
'kafir', Amanullah was overthrown by the bandit leader
Bacha-e-Saqao. With striking parallels to twenty-first century
events in the region, In a Land Far From Home is the only
first-hand account of this tumultuous period by a non-Afghan.
Providing a unique perspective, Mujtaba Ali's fascinating account
is brought to life by contact with a colourful cast of characters
at all levels of society -- from the garrulous Pathan Dost Muhammed
and the gentle Russian giant Bolshov, to his servant, Abdur Rahman
and his partner in tennis, the Crown Prince Enayatullah.
Technologies like "Home Automation Systems" are still under
considerations and have not been developed up to the level of
ultimate maturity. Targeting the challenges of the proposition of a
home automation system capable of controlling house's electric
appliances and providing efficient security system, a thorough
research has been conducted in fields of System Automation,
Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Human Machine
Interaction, Mobile Programming, Produce Line Architectures,
Software Testing and Data Management Systems. Taking help from
reviewed research and using our personal research and development
experiences, we have proposed an approach i.e. Smart House. This
book discusses in detail the way to achieve the set goals of this
research along with the detailed presentation of system
requirements, proposed approach, hardware and software designs,
implemented prototype, testing, deployment, usage, benefits and
limitations. The presented research and development has been
performed as the part of author's bachelor project submitted in
Fall 2002 at Punjab Institute of Computer Science, Faculty of
Information Technology, University of Central Punjab, Pakistan.
