Islam and Modernity

Islam and Modernity

The relationship between Islam and modernity has generated and rich but complex literature. While competing accounts sometimes appear incommensurable there is at least some convergence on the view that Islam and modernity reflect an unsettled encounter. For some this is self-evident because the relationship rests on contested foundational questions not least: whose modernity and which Islam? For others it is a less a theoretical and more a historical issue in so far as there has been a process underway in which Islam has proved slow in ‘catching up’. This Major Work gives space to an evolving conversation between Islam and four component parts of modernity. It has a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context.

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Despite the fact that the appropriation of land and resources of the so-called New World necessarily involved the dispossession and exploitation (and sometimes genocide) of the original inhabitants of colonized nations it was not until the late twentieth century that Indigenous Peoples attained any meaningful degree of legal recognition in both national and international spheres. Until then Indigenous Peoples (also known as ‘First Nations’ and ‘First Peoples’) were routinely denied any form of juridical identity. Research in and around Indigenous Peoples and the Law is now very wide-ranging and flourishes as never before. But much of the relevant literature remains inaccessible or is highly specialized and compartmentalized so that it is difficult for many of those who are interested in the subject to obtain an informed balanced and comprehensive overview. This new four-volume collection meets the need for an authoritative anthology to make sense of the subject’s vast and dispersed literature and the continuing explosion in research output. Drawing on a wide variety of materials from a broad range of disciplines and theoretical approaches the collection gathers canonical and cutting-edge major works in a ‘one-stop’ resource to enable users to understand how the law Indigenous Peoples encounter has been transformed from an oppressive rights-denying system to a site of contestation and for the articulation of claims. The collection includes a full index and is supplemented by introductions to each volume newly written by the editors which place the gathered materials in their historical and intellectual context. Indigenous Peoples and the Law is an essential reference work which will be valued as a vital resource by students scholars policy-makers and practitioners.

Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Sound and Science in Nineteenth-Century Britain is a four-volume set of primary sources which seeks to define our historical understanding of the relationship between British scientific knowledge and sound between 1815 and 1900. In the context of rapid urbanization and industrialization as well as a growing overseas empire Britain was home to a rich scientific culture in which the ear was as valuable an organ as the eye for examining nature. Experiments on how sound behaved informed new understandings of how a diverse array of natural phenomena operated notably those of heat light and electro-magnetism. In nineteenth-century Britain sound was not just a phenomenon to be studied but central to the practice of science itself and broader understandings over nature and the universe. This collection accompanied by extensive editorial commentary will be of great interest to students and scholars of the History of Science. | Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain
