Sharia has been a source of misunderstanding and misconception in both the Muslim and non-Muslim worlds. Understanding Sharia: Islamic Law in a Globalised World sets out to explore the reality of sharia, contextualising its development in the early centuries of Islam and showing how it evolved in line with historical and social circumstances. The authors, Raficq S. Abdulla and Mohamed M. Keshavjee, both British-trained lawyers, argue that sharia and the positive law flowing from it, known ...

Recentemente numa 'conversa de café', que hoje se fazem mais em caixas de comentários no Facebook, alguém dizia, ""o Islão é uma religião violenta e o alcorão incita à violência"", acrescentando ainda que nos países muçulmanos as mulheres são ""apedrejadas e decepadas"". Mas e o que é que uma mulher, muçulmana, doutorada em Estudos Islâmicos pela Universidade de Cambridge, tem a dizer sobre o Islão e tudo isto? Foi isso que quisemos saber numa conversa com a Faranaz Keshavjee, neste segund...

This new collection turns a critical anthropological eye on the nature of health policy internationally. The authors reveal that in light of prevailing social inequalities, health policies may intend to protect public health, but in fact they often represent significant structural threats to the health and well being of the poor, ethnic minorities, women, and other subordinate groups. The volume focuses on the 'anthropology of policy,' which is concerned with the process of decision-making...

Wer wird die Vorherrschaft über die Welt erringen? Der liberal, kapitalistisch geprägte Westen? Das kommunistisch geprägte Einparteiensystem Chinas? Oder der religiös geprägte erobernde Islam? – Große, übergeordnete Systeme wollen herrschen! Und der Islam ist das weltanschauliche System, das weltweit am schnellsten wächst. Wo der erobernde Islam Fuß fasst, scheinen Konflikte zwischen Muslimen und Nicht-Muslimen unvermeidlich. Aber Vorsicht: Es gibt tausend verschiedene Arten, ein Muslim zu...

Neoliberalism has been the defining paradigm in global health since the latter part of the twentieth century. What started as an untested and unproven theory that the creation of unfettered markets would give rise to political democracy led to policies that promoted the belief that private markets were the optimal agents for the distribution of social goods, including health care.A vivid illustration of the infiltration of neoliberal ideology into the design and implementation of d...

The meanings and contexts of Shari'a are the subject of both curiosity and misunderstanding by non-Muslims. Shari'a is sometimes crudely characterised by outsiders as a punitive legal system operating broadly outside, and separate from, national laws and customs. This groundbreaking book shows that Shari'a and its 'fiqh' (laws set forward by various Islamic legal schools) comprise a far more nuanced matrix of interpretations than is often assumed to be the case. Far from being monolithic o...

Pour une unité entre chrétiens et ÉglisesEncore un livre sur l’œcuménisme? Pourquoi pas.
