New Texts Out Now: The Back to School Edition

0 Aug 31 2011 by Anthony Alessandrini and Bassam Haddad

[NEWTON=New Texts Out Now]

Just in time for the new semester, we are happy to present a series of eminently teachable texts in the latest edition of NEWTON:

James Gelvin, The Modern Middle East: A History and The Arab Uprisings: What Everyone Needs to Know

Stephen Sheehi, Islamophobia: The Ideological Campaign Against Muslims

Saadia Toor, The State of Islam: Culture and Cold War Politics in Pakistan

We hope that the author interviews and excerpts from these texts, together with the others we have featured thus far in New Texts Out Now, will be helpful for those busy assembling syllabi and reading lists, as well as readers searching for sources on a variety of topics.

This is also the perfect time to sign up for Jadaliyya’s Pedagogy Page, in order to take part in the discussions and exchanges beginning in September.

Happy reading, and watch for future installments of NEWTON, which will feature Sinan Antoon, Amal Ghazal, Adam Hanieh, Vivian Ibrahim, Laleh Khalili, Khalid Medani, Steven Salaita, Magid Shihade, and Joshua Stacher, among many others.

So my strong recommendation to all those who do critical writing is that when you must read much horror in order to criticize it, do make sure you have some solid source of beauty, eloquence, and truth by your side.
