Heavily influenced by Frantz Fanon and critically engaging the
theories of decoloniality and liberatory psychoanalysis, Lara
Sheehi and Stephen Sheehi platform the lives, perspectives, and
insights of psychoanalytically inflected Palestinian psychologists,
psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals, centering the
stories that non-clinical Palestinians have entrusted to them over
four years of community engagement with clinicians throughout
historic Palestine. Sheehi and Sheehi document the stories of
Palestinian clinicians in relation to settler colonialism and
violence but, even more so, in relation to their patients,
communities, families, and one another (as a clinical community).
In doing so, they track the appearance of settler colonialism as a
psychologically extractive process, one that is often effaced by
discourses of "normalization," "trauma," "resilience," and human
rights, with the aid of clinicians, as well as psychoanalysis.
Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine
unpacks the intersection of psychoanalysis as a psychological
practice in Palestine, while also advancing a set of therapeutic
theories in which to critically engage and "read" the politically
complex array of conditions that define life for Palestinians
living under Israeli occupation.

The birth of photography coincided with the expansion of European
imperialism in the Middle East, and some of the medium's earliest
images are Orientalist pictures taken by Europeans in such places
as Cairo and Jerusalem--photographs that have long shaped and
distorted the Western visual imagination of the region. But the
Middle East had many of its own photographers, collectors, and
patrons. In this book, Stephen Sheehi presents a groundbreaking new
account of early photography in the Arab world. The Arab Imago
concentrates primarily on studio portraits by Arab and Armenian
photographers in the late Ottoman Empire. Examining previously
known studios such as Abdullah Freres, Pascal Sebah, Garabed
Krikorian, and Khalil Raad, the book also provides the first
account of other pioneers such as Georges and Louis Saboungi, the
Kova Brothers, Muhammad Sadiq Bey, and Ibrahim Rif'at Pasha--as
well as the first detailed look at early photographs of the annual
pilgrimage to Mecca. In addition, the book explores indigenous
photography manuals and albums, newspapers, scientific journals,
and fiction. Featuring extensive previously unpublished images, The
Arab Imago shows how native photography played an essential role in
the creation of modern Arab societies in Egypt, Palestine, Syria,
and Lebanon before the First World War. At the same time, the book
overturns Eurocentric and Orientalist understandings of indigenous
photography and challenges previous histories of the medium.

at www.luminosoa.org. Camera Palaestina is a critical exploration
of Jerusalemite chronicler Wasif Jawhariyyeh (1904-1972) and his
seven photography albums entitled The Illustrated History of
Palestine. Jawhariyyeh's nine hundred images narrate the rich
cultural and political milieu of Ottoman and Mandate Palestine.
Nassar, Sheehi, and Tamari locate this archive at the juncture
between the history of photography in the Arab world and the social
history of Palestine. Shedding new light on this foundational
period, the authors explore not just major historical events and
the development of an urban bourgeois lifestyle but a social field
of vision of Palestinian life as exemplified in the Jerusalem
community. Tracking the interplay between photographic images, the
authors offer evidence of the unbroken field of material,
historical, and collective experience from the living past to the
living present of Arab Palestine.
The average age of aircraft in the U.S. Air Force is 22, making
aging an increasing concern. The Air Force program responsible for
maintaining the structural safety of its aircraft faces challenges,
however, such as budgetary pressures, regulations, and
communication issues. The authors sought insights on these issues
by comparing similar programs in other services. Their observations
suggest the value of clear policies, independent assessments,
standard metrics, and open and clear communication.
In this title, Sheehi examines the rise of anti-Muslim and
anti-Arab sentiments in the West following the end of the Cold War
through GW Bush's War on Terror to the Age of Obama. He
investigates the increased mainstreaming of Muslim-bating rhetoric
and explicitly racist legislation, police surveillance,
witch-trials and discriminatory policies towards Muslims. The book
focuses on the various genres and modalities of Islamophobia from
the works of academics to the commentary by mainstream journalists,
to campaigns by political hacks and special interest groups.
Featured are Bernard Lewis, Fareed Zakaria, Thomas Friedman, David
Horowitz, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Irshad Manji, George W. Bush, Dick
Cheney, John McCain, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama. Sheehi
contends that their theories and opinions operate on an assumption
that Muslims, particularly Arab Muslims, suffer from particular
cultural lacuna that prevent their cultures from progress,
democracy and human rights. While the assertion originated in the
colonial era, Sheehi demonstrates that it was refurbished as a
viable explanation for Muslim resistance to economic and cultural
globalization during the Clinton era. Moreover, the theory was
honed into the empirical basis for an interventionist foreign
policy and propaganda campaign during the Bush regime and continues
to underlie Barack Obama's new internationalism. If the assertions
of media pundits and such academics became the basis for White
House foreign policy, Sheehi also demonstrates how they were
translated into a sustained domestic policy of racial profiling and
Muslim-baiting by US agencies from Homeland Security to the
Department of Justice. Furthermore, Sheehi examines the collusion
between non-governmental agencies, activist groups and lobbies and
US local, state and federal agencies to in suppressing political
speech on US campuses critical of racial profiling, US foreign
policy in the Middle East and Israel. While much of the direct
violence against Muslims on American streets, shops and campuses
has subsided, Islamophobia runs throughout the Obama
administration. Sheehi, therefore, concludes that Muslim and
Arab-hating emanate from all corners of the American political and
cultural spectrum, serving poignant ideological functions in the
age of economic, cultural and political globalization.
