Kashmir Under the Sultans

Kashmir Under the Sultans

Kashmir Under Sultans introduces the reader to a subject that begins with the foundation of the Sultanate and ends with the conquest of Kashmir by Akbar. During the Sultanate period Kashmir had achieved a high standard of culture but with the disappearance of her independence her culture gradually declined. Poets painters and scholars had to leave the Valley and seek their livelihood elsewhere owing to the absence of local patronage. They then entered the service of the Mughal emperors and were added to the court thereby lessening the cultural impoverishment of Kashmir. The book encloses political social economic and cultural activities that had a lasting influence on the Kashmir Valley in that period. It is of considerable value to social historians as Professor Mohibbul Hasan offers insights into political and cultural currents and crosscurrents in Kashmir.

Psychoanalysis Under Occupation Practicing Resistance in Palestine

Psychoanalysis Under Occupation Practicing Resistance in Palestine

Heavily influenced by Frantz Fanon and critically engaging the theories of decoloniality and liberatory psychoanalysis Lara Sheehi and Stephen Sheehi platform the lives perspectives and insights of psychoanalytically inflected Palestinian psychologists psychiatrists and other mental health professionals centering the stories that non-clinical Palestinians have entrusted to them over four years of community engagement with clinicians throughout historic Palestine. Sheehi and Sheehi document the stories of Palestinian clinicians in relation to settler colonialism and violence but even more so in relation to their patients communities families and one another (as a clinical community). In doing so they track the appearance of settler colonialism as a psychologically extractive process one that is often effaced by discourses of normalization trauma resilience and human rights with the aid of clinicians as well as psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine unpacks the intersection of psychoanalysis as a psychological practice in Palestine while also advancing a set of therapeutic theories in which to critically engage and read the politically complex array of conditions that define life for Palestinians living under Israeli occupation. | Psychoanalysis Under Occupation Practicing Resistance in Palestine

The Politics of Chinese Medicine Under Mongol Rule

The Politics of Chinese Medicine Under Mongol Rule

Under the rule of the descendants of Chinggis Khan (1167-1227) China saw the development of a new culture in which medical practice came to be considered a highly respected occupation for elite men. During this period further major steps were also taken towards the codification of medical knowledge and promotion of physicians’ social status. This book traces the history of the politics institutions and culture of medicine of China under Mongol rule through the eyes of a successful South Chinese official Yuan Jue (1266-1327). As the first comprehensive monograph on history of medicine in China under the Mongols it argues that this period was a separate moment in Chinese history when a configuration of power different from that of previous and succeeding periods created its own medical culture. The Politics of Chinese Medicine under Mongol Rule emphasizes the impact of the political and institutional changes caused by the Mongols and their collaborators on the social and cultural history of medicine which culminated in the medical theory of Zhu Zhenheng (1282–1358) still influential in East Asian medicine. Using a variety of Chinese-language sources including gazetteers legal texts biographies poems and medical texts it analyses the roles of the Mongols and West and Central Asians as cultural brokers and also as unifiers of China. Further it views North and South Chinese elites as agents of historical change rather than as victims of Mongol oppression. Underlining the complexity of the history of China under the Mongols and the significance of time and geography for the study of this history this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Chinese medical history Chinese social and cultural history and medieval global history.

A History of Ireland Under the Union 1801-1922

A History of Ireland Under the Union 1801-1922

Originally published in 1952 A History of Ireland Under the Union was written by an historian who played an active part in the political events of the later part of the period. In Ireland there are two national traditions: that of the Kingdom of the Gael established at the end of the 4th Century A. D. and the other colonial tradition evolved by the descendants of various generations of Planters from England. The book provides a full account of 19th Century Irish history and shows how the colonial nationalists discarded their nationalism after 1801 and how the emerging Gael under Daniel O’ Connell adopted and fused the two traditions into an Irish national tradition which was vitalised by Irish literature and culture. Containing much original source material the book throws light on aspects of Irish history whose significance is often overlooked such as the part played by the RIC and the Secret Societies in Ireland and the USA. | A History of Ireland Under the Union 1801-1922

Policymaking under Adversity

Policymaking under Adversity

This groundbreaking study systematically treats recent policymaking trends starting with a reconsideration of salient theoretical issues of policymaking and its study and culminating with a survey of current policy-related predicaments in various countries. Dror proposes that the task for social science research is to uncover underlying causes of policymaking inadequacies. Standard research methods Dror states have been unable to uncover the realities of important decisions made inside governments. In order to gain an understanding of pressing predicaments he believes that policymakers need to examine the foundations of contemporary practices of present assumptions and that they need a multiplicity of approaches to policymaking. After prescribing a set of requirements that policymaking must satisfy in order to adequately respond to challenges Dror posits several improvements needed in education and in policy decision making. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography including numerous important German works not found in other English-language studies. This book supplements the earlier basic theory and models propounded in Dror's Public Policymaking Reexamined by dealing with current trends. As a guide to public policy literature and related works it will be invaluable to students and practitioners. | Policymaking under Adversity

Shakespeare in the Present Political Lessons under Biden

Shakespeare in the Present Political Lessons under Biden

Shakespeare in the Present: Political Lessons under Biden is the first case study in applying the lessons of Shakespeare’s plays to post-Trump America. It looks at American politics through the lens of Shakespeare not simply equating figures in the contemporary world to Shakespearean characters but showing how the broader conditions of Shakespeare’s imagined worlds reflect and inform our own. Clearly written in a direct and engaging style it shows that reading Shakespeare with our contemporary Washington in mind can enrich our understanding of both his works and our world. Shakespeare wrote for his own time but we always read him in our present. As such the way we read him now is always affected by our own understanding of our own political world. This book provides quick critical analyses of Shakespeare’s plays and contemporary American politics while serving as an introduction for undergraduates and general readers to this kind of topical presentist criticism of Shakespeare. | Shakespeare in the Present Political Lessons under Biden
