Feministin werden
by Priya Basil, Beatrice Faßbender
Aufgewachsen zwischen zwei Frauen – Mutter und Großmutter –, die gegensätzlicher nicht sein könnten, sucht Priya Basil ihre eigene feministische Stimme. Getrieben von der Vergangenheit, der Vielfalt der Positionen und einer außerordentlichen Erfahrung – der kollaborativen Übernahme eines Modemagazins durch 39 Frauen – beschreibt sie ihren Weg zu mehr Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit. Brilliant verbindet Priya Basil Selbstverortung mit Philosophie und mitreißender Gesellschaftsanalyse. Und liefert mit Hilfe vieler Verbündeter eine Antwort auf die Frage: Was tun gegen die tief verwurzelte Abwertung von Frauen in unserer Sprache, Geschichte und Gesellschaft? Feministin werden, im Wir und Jetzt.

Gastfreundschaft
by Priya Basil, Beatrice Faßbender
»Ich lade dich ein.« Ein Satz, der Vorfreude weckt: auf einen anregenden Abend bei leckerem Essen und guten Gesprächen. Doch die berühmte Gastfreundschaft ist noch viel mehr als das –sie ist ein vielseitiges Geben und Nehmen, das Familie, Freunde und Fremde einschließt und in jeder Kultur etwas anders ist. Die in London geborene, in Kenia aufgewachsene und heute in Berlin lebende Autorin Priya Basil erzählt von den indisch-kenianischen Traditionen ihrer Familie, von einer unerwarteten Einladung zum Spargelessen und einer Massenspeisung in einem Sikh-Tempel mitten in Berlin. Sie hält ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für ein gastfreundliches Europa und lädt dabei immer wieder in ihre eigene Küche ein. Denn die besten Gespräche führt man bekanntlich an einem reich gedeckten Tisch: über Gott und die Welt, Politik und Kultur und über die Frage, ob es eigentlich bedingungslose Gastfreundschaft gibt.

Mommies!
by Richa Jha and Priya Sebastian
Mommies come in all shapes and sizes but that is not all, they come packed with all sorts of personalities too. The narrative of Mommies challenges the norm of reducing an independent, unique being to gender and just the title of a ‘Mom’, and explores beyond the conventional views of what motherhood should be. Richa Jha delivers a strong statement through the purity of a child’s voice and forges a bond between all the vastly different mothers from across the globe, united by their love for their child. Priya Sebastian’s artwork reflects the depth of a simple narrative and manages to capture the diverse beauty of each and every figure of motherhood.

The state and ‘terrorists’ in Nepal and Northern Ireland
The social construction of state terrorism
by Priya Dixit
This book compares the use of 'terrorism' by states in the Global North (Britain in Northern Ireland) and South (Nepal), examining particular events over time. As such, it questions conventional understandings that states cannot be 'terrorists' and that post '9/11' terrorism is new. It does so by outlining how states have used the label of 'terrorism' to establish a specific 'counterterrorist' identity for themselves and by indicating how similar strategies of representation were used by the British and Nepali states while labeling others as 'terrorist'. Because it draws on rhetorical analysis, discursive psychology and critical security studies to analyze the politics of labelling, it is expected this book will be useful to a wide range of readers from political science, international relations, terrorism studies and also media, cultural and area studies. ;

Islam und Moderne. Die neuen Denker
by Rachid Benzine, Hadiya Gurtmann
Intellektualität und Frömmigkeit zu vereinbaren, das ist das Ziel einer ganzen Generation muslimischer Denker. Unabdingbare Voraussetzung dafür ist die Entwicklung einer neuen Hermeneutik der Koraninterpretation, zu der muslimische Gelehrte aus zahlreichen Ländern ihren Beitrag leisten und dafür mitunter Kopf und Kragen riskieren. Ihre Namen sind hierzulande noch kaum bekannt, da die wenigsten ihrer Schriften ins Deutsche übersetzt worden sind. Dennoch findet ihr Beitrag zur Versöhnung des Islams mit der Moderne auch in Deutschland hohe Anerkennung: So war zum Beispiel der 2010 verstorbene gebürtige Algerier Mohammed Arkoun, Professor an der Sorbonne in Paris, Fellow am Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, desgleichen der ebenfalls 2010 verstorbene Ägypter Nasr Hamid Abu Said. Andere Vertreter, die Benzine in seinem Buch darstellt, sind Fazlur Rahman, Farid Esack (Südafrika), Abdul Karim Sorush (Iran) und Abdelmajid Charfi (Tunesien). Neben dem leidenschaftlichen Engagement für die Sache, der sich diese neuen Denker verschrieben haben und so zu Hoffnungsträgern für viele Muslime geworden sind, beeindruckt die persönliche Opferbereitschaft, die manchem von ihnen abverlangt wurde. Abu Saids Ehe etwa wurde zwangsgeschieden, er erhielt Morddrohungen und mußte ins niederländische Exil flüchten.

Handbook of Invasive Plant-parasitic Nematodes
by Ziaul Haque, Mujeebur Rahman Khan
Plant parasitic nematodes are major pests of agricultural crops and cause huge monetary losses. There is a very high risk of spread of plant-parasitic nematodes from one country to another, with the movement of plants and planting materials such as seeds, bulbs, corms, suckers, tubers, rhizomes, rooted plants, nursery stock and cut flowers. In view of the large quantities and the wide variety of materials being imported and exported, it is important to assess the status of invasive nematodes and their quarantine importance in relation to agricultural trade. This book contains information on around 100 invasive nematodes and their potential threat in different countries. Each nematode entry includes information on authentic identification, geographical distribution, risk of introduction, host ranges, symptoms, biology, ecology, planting material liable to carry the nematode(s), nematode vectors, chance of establishment, likely impact, and phytosanitary measures. There are detailed accounts of diagnosis procedures including sampling, isolation, detection and identification of nematodes based on morphological and molecular characters. The book offers a global perspective on invasive plant-parasitic nematodes and useful for practitioners, professionals, scientists, researchers, students, and government officials working in plant quarantine and biosecurity.
