Religious Fundamentalism in the Middle East

A Cross-National, Inter-Faith, and Inter-Ethnic Analysis

By: Mansoor Moaddel,Stuart A. Karabenick

In Religious Fundamentalism in the Middle East, Moaddel and Karabenick analyze fundamentalist beliefs and attitudes across nations (Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia), faith (Christianity and Islam), and ethnicity (Azari-Turks, Kurds, and Persians among Iranians), using comparative survey data. For them, fundamentalism is not just a set of religious beliefs. It is rather a set of beliefs about and attitudes toward whatever religious beliefs one has. In this analysis, the authors show that fundamentalist beliefs and attitudes vary across national contexts and individual characteristics, and predict people's orientation toward the same set of historical issues that were the concerns of fundamentalist intellectual leaders and activists. The authors' analysis reveals a "cycle of spirituality" that reinforces the critical importance of taking historical and cultural contexts into consideration to understand the role of religious fundamentalism in contemporary Middle Eastern societies.

Zulfikar Ghose

The Lost Son of the Punjab

By: Mansoor Abbasi

In 1963, Zulfikar Ghose received a special award from the E. C. Gregory Trust that was judged by T. S. Eliot, Henry Moore, Herbert Read and Bonamy Dobrée. A year earlier, in an issue devoted to the newly emerging Commonwealth literature, the Times Literary Supplement featured Zulfikar Ghose as the most prominent poet from the former British colonies by conspicuously printing three of his poems spread across half a page. By the time he was featured in The Review of Contemporary Fiction, Ghose had been accorded major status as a writer of international repute: the editors of The Review of Contemporary Fiction noted that “Zulfikar Ghose has both ranked with and outranked several of the best English language writers in England and America,” and went on to present him as “a unique figure in contemporary literature,” whose “evolution across languages and national boundaries” was comparable to Conrad, Nabokov and Beckett. In spite of receiving such notable attention, Ghose has remained a marginal presence and, in fact, an “untouchable,” among writers accorded a world-class status. Of the several reasons suggested for Ghose’s marginalization by scholars of world literature and post-colonial studies, the most significant one is that his oeuvre resists categorisation. For Ghose, to use Proust’s phrases, “Quality of language and the beauty of an image are the heart of great writing.” Ghose’s work is full of meditative reverberations and has a fastidious style that scintillates the reader’s mind with its brilliance. His genius lies in the construction of a language that is lyrical and full of vivid imagery. He captures the images of his native Punjab as well as the South American landscape, and imbues the air with the fragrance of Amazon rainforest while his prose sends a shiver between the “shoulder blades.” In his experimentation with form, he “make[s] it new,” to use Pound’s phrase. His literary journey from the imitation of nineteenth-century realism to his most experimental and ambitious works like Hulme’s Investigations into the Bogart Script and The Triple Mirror of the Self reflects his wide range of experimentation with form and style. This book investigates the structural patterns in the novels of Zulfikar Ghose that give each of his works its peculiar aesthetic design. While on the one hand, this work notes his role as a pioneer among South Asian writers of the post-colonial era, on the other hand, his novels are examined in the critical framework erected by the writer himself with its emphasis on style: that is the central concern of this study.

Tribes of Pakistan

By: Mansoor Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan,Jamal Hussain,Asad ul Ghafoor

The book is a modern take on the subject of the tribes and other socio-ethnic groups that inhabit Pakistan within the wider academic framework in the field of social sciences. While there has already been work carried out on the Pashtun and Afghan tribal territories and peoples, this text describes in detail the tribal societies of the whole of Pakistan–their origins, history, social profile and administrative structure. It also discusses these issues within the context of the areas’ geostrategic significance, historical processes, social ideology and institutional structure. The narrative promotes an understanding of the disruptive effects of external and internal factors and the distortions caused in these societies by the introduction of institutional, legal, political and social reforms which failed to take into account their deep-seated cultural sensitivities. It utilizes a wide variety of sources—both modern and old–to present a concise work on an extremely complex and detailed topic dealing with caste, ethnicity, socio-economic status, and tribal enmities and affinities. The book contains maps of the areas along with brief geo-specific descriptions to acquaint the reader with the terrain and topography of the region, which play an important role in the lives of these societies.

Karachi in the Twenty-First Century

Political, Social, Economic and Security Dimensions

By: Mansoor Bin Tahnoon Al Nehayan

The forces of globalisation are indiscriminate – they enable those who pursue good and those who pursue evil. The changes brought about by globalisation affect all segments of society, all walks of life, all political parties, all religions, all ethnic groups, and all countries. Sometimes they occur in the most unexpected ways and yield complex results that appear to be mystifying and intractable, at least on the surface. This book describes how the forces of globalisation have descended upon Karachi and exacerbated local and regional problems to the point where the city is teetering on the brink of chaos. Karachi is geographically, politically, and culturally situated in the context of modern Pakistan, but is a global city affected by global forces, many of which challenge the state’s power and authority. The lessons of Karachi are important for both its present and its future, and they can serve as a cautionary tale for other global cities. Karachi is vitally important to Pakistan. While Islamabad is the country’s capital, Karachi is the most important financial centre in the country. It is the centre of banking, industry, economic activity and trade. Many of Pakistan’s largest corporations are based in Karachi, including entertainment, arts, fashion, medical research, the automotive industry, shipping, textiles, advertising, publishing, and software development. Karachi is also home to Pakistan’s main seaport and two of the largest ports in the region, the Port of Karachi and Port Bin Qasim.

Global Issues in Language, Education and Development

Perspectives from Postcolonial Countries

By: Naz Rassool,Kathleen Heugh,Sabiha Mansoor

This book examines the role that language-in-education policy, historically, has played in shaping possibilities for development, within countries in the Sub-Saharan and South Asian regions. This discussion takes account also of the complex ways in which language, education and development, are linked to the changing global labour market. Key questions are raised regarding the impact of international policy imperatives on development possibilities.
