    Beginning with an examination of medieval Islamic fundamentalist movements such as Kharjism, Ibadism, Hanbalism, and Wahhabism, Sayed Khatab looks at the similarities and differences between them and present organizations such as al-Qa*'ida.

  • Redeemer Nation in the Interregnum

    An Untimely Meditation on the American Vocation

    by William V. Spanos ...

  • Property for People, Not for Profit

    Alternatives to the Global Tyranny of Capital

    by Ulrich Duchrow, Franz J. Hinkelammert ...
    The issue of private property and the rights it confers remain almost undiscussed in critiques of globalization and free market economics. Yet property lies at the heart of an economic system geared to profit maximization. The authors describe the historically specific and self-consciously explicit manner in which it emerged. They trace this history from earliest historical times and show how, in ... Read more

    Race, Class, Law, and the Collapse of Postwar Liberalism

    by Reuel Schiller ...
    Series series Cambridge Historical Studies in American Law and Society
    The three decades after the end of World War II saw the rise and fall of a particular version of liberalism in which the state committed itself to promoting a modest form of economic egalitarianism while simultaneously embracing ethnic, racial, and religious pluralism.

  • The Marx Machine

    Politics, Polemics, Ideology

    by Charles Barbour ...
    Karl Marx has rarely, if ever, been treated as a writer. Charles Barbour argues not only that we can examine the literary and rhetorical aspects of Marx’s texts, but also that, as soon as we begin to do so, those texts begin to take on new and entirely unexpected political implications. In the past, Marx scholars have characterized his literary remains as either a relatively coherent body of work, ... Read more

  • Democratic Statecraft

    Political Realism and Popular Power

    by J. S. Maloy ...
    The theory of statecraft explores practical politics through the strategies and manoeuvres of privileged agents, whereas the theory of democracy dwells among abstract and lofty ideals. Can these two ways of thinking somehow be reconciled and combined? Or is statecraft destined to remain the preserve of powerful elites, leaving democracy to ineffectual idealists? J. S. Maloy demonstrates that the ... Read more
