China Marches West

The Qing Conquest of Central Eurasia

From about 1600 to 1800, the Qing empire of China expanded to unprecedented size. Through astute diplomacy, economic investment, and a series of ambitious military campaigns into the heart of Central Eurasia, the Manchu rulers defeated the Zunghar Mongols, and brought all of modern Xinjiang and Mongolia under their control, while gaining dominant influence in Tibet. The China we know is a product of these vast conquests. Peter C. Perdue chronicles this little-known story of China's expansion into the northwestern frontier. Unlike previous Chinese dynasties, the Qing achieved lasting domination over the eastern half of the Eurasian continent. Rulers used forcible repression when faced with resistance, but also aimed to win over subject peoples by peaceful means. They invested heavily in the economic and administrative development of the frontier, promoted trade networks, and adapted ceremonies to the distinct regional cultures. Perdue thus illuminates how China came to rule Central Eurasia and how it justifies that control, what holds the Chinese nation together, and how its relations with the Islamic world and Mongolia developed. He offers valuable comparisons to other colonial empires and discusses the legacy left by China's frontier expansion. The Beijing government today faces unrest on its frontiers from peoples who reject its autocratic rule. At the same time, China has launched an ambitious development program in its interior that in many ways echoes the old Qing policies. China Marches West is a tour de force that will fundamentally alter the way we understand Central Eurasia.

Although Bunyasiri wanted to flee, Arughtai disagreed, so the two leaders
separated, each acting in effect as head of a separate tribe, fatally weakening
their strength. Yongle first attacked Bunyasiri to the east, pursuing him to the
Onon River, where he defeated Bunyasiri's troops. Bunyasiri in flight was killed
by the Oirat Mahmud. The emperor then turned east against Arughtai, who fled
with remnants of his army. Yongle returned in victory to Beijing on September 15

Islamic Roots of Capitalism

Egypt, 1760-1840

Challenging the ethnocentric notion that a capitalist economy could only be transferred to the peripheral states through contact with Europe, this text argues that the capitalist transformation of the Egyptian economy was begun by Muslim merchants and Mamluk rulers in the 18th century.

Egypt was ruled by Muhammad Ali (1805—1849), a semi- independent viceroy
who attempted to modernize his country according to western, especially French,
lines. Himself of European Macedonian birth, Muhammad Ali relied to a
considerable extent upon men of foreign origin, on soldiers from Albania, on
advisers from many Levantine countries, and on military experts from France and
the United States, so that his system of governance might be described in certain
ways as rule ...

Allegory and Philosophy in Avicenna (Ibn Sina)

With a Translation of the Book of the Prophet Muhammad's Ascent to Heaven

Explores the use of allegory in the writing of the renowned eleventh-century Muslim philosopher known in the West as Avicenna, paying special attention to the ways he influenced theological, mystical, and literary thought in subsequent Islamic—and Western—intellectual and religious history.

With a Translation of the Book of the Prophet Muhammad's Ascent to Heaven
Peter Heath. Preface This book explores the interaction among allegory,
allegoresis, and philosophy in the thought of the premodern Muslim philosopher
Avicenna (Ibn Sina, 370/980—428/1037). This is a question of some complexity,
and each of the four parts of this study tackles it from a slightly different
perspective. Part One focuses on historical issues. Chapter One offers a
preliminary sketch of how ...

She said that nearly all religions have misinterpreted the teachings of the Masters
like Jesus and Muhammad, that things have continuously been misunderstood
and that there is no need for a religion because we are all one. This was good as
I was in that frame of mind about that. She continued and said that the Christian,
Muslim, Hindu and many other religions are talking about the same thing, The
God Source, The Creator, The One. I believe that what Shi-Ji said about religions

The Annoying Difference

The Emergence of Danish Neonationalism, Neoracism, and Populism in the Post-1989 World

The Muhammad cartoon crisis of 2005−2006 in Denmark caught the world by surprise as the growing hostilities toward Muslims had not been widely noticed. Through the methodologies of media anthropology, cultural studies, and communication studies, this book brings together more than thirteen years of research on three significant historical media events in order to show the drastic changes and emerging fissures in Danish society and to expose the politicization of Danish news journalism, which has consequences for the political representation and everyday lives of ethnic minorities in Denmark.

Muhammad. Cartoon. Crisis. T in the Danish news media through- out the
summer of 2001. The story ended abruptly with the terrorist attacks on New York's
World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, which absorbed all attention from the
domestic scene. The results of the parliamentary election two months later, on 20
November 2001, echoed the dichotomization of native Danes vs. foreigners,
particularly non-Westerners and Muslims, ...

Researching the Contemporary City.

Identity, environment and social inclusion in urban areas

The city is perhaps the most complex of all human constructs. In the 21st century when cities are bigger than ever, and the majority of the world’s population now live in urban areas, the need for research into this complexity to address the large scale challenges of urban life has never been greater. This collection of research studies from different parts of the world, brings together case studies, underpinned by theory, to contribute to the urgent search to make our cities more just, more livable, more accessible, more participatory and more democratic: in short, more humane places to live and work. These cross-cutting themes of social inclusion, spatial integration and poverty alleviation are the ever present motifs and motivations throughout this volume. The eleven chapters are grouped into four interrelated sections: the creation and representation of the urban; the production and transformation of the informal; the construction and appropriation of public spaces; and finally, the transformation, use and meaning of home. Collectively the essays engage with the city at a range of scales, but underpinning all of them is a concern for the everyday realities of ordinary people’s lives. These detailed and fine-grain analyses of complex processes are a modest contribution towards the creation of cities which are not simply more economically viable and environmentally sustainable, but also embody the ideals of social justice.

Between Allah & Jesus

What Christians Can Learn from Muslims

What would happen if Christians and a Muslim at a university talked and disagreed, but really tried to understand each other? What would they learn? That is the intriguing question Peter Kreeft seeks to answer in these imaginative conversations at Boston College. An articulate and engaging Muslim student named 'Isa challenges the Christian students and professors he meets on issues ranging from prayer and worship to evolution and abortion, from war and politics to the nature of spiritual struggle and spiritual submission. While Kreeft believes Christians should not learn extremism or unitarian theology from Muslims, he does believe that if we really listened we could learn much about devoted religious practice and ethics. Here is a book to open your understanding of one of the key forces shaping our world today. It's a book that just could make you a better Christian.

“So you admit that Muhammad teaches the truth of God?” “Some ofit, but I believe
it is mixed with human errors . I be- lieve the same thing about your Qur'an as you
believe about our Bible .” “Why do you have to put Jewish and Christian links in
the chain between Muhammad and God? Why couldn't God have spoken directly
to Muhammad, as he did to Adam and Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus
?” “Because of his errors . God never teaches error .” “But Muhammad claims ...
