        Dwelling places

        Postwar Black British Writing

        by James Procter

        Explores some of the key venues of black British literary and cultural production across the postwar period: bedsits and basements; streets and cafes; train stations and tourist landscapes; the suburbs and the city; the north and south. Pursues a 'devolving' landscape in order to consider what an analysis of 'dwelling' might contribute to the travelling theories of diaspora discourse and asks what happens when we 'situate' literatures of movement and migration. Offers fresh readings of work by some of the key literary figures of the postwar years, for example, Salman Rushdie, Hanif Kureishi, Meera Syal, Linton Kwesi Johnson. Contextualises writings alongside photography, painting, and film to consider their relationship to broader shifts in the politics of black representation over the past fifty years. Offers sustained anaysis of many of the texts reproduced in Procter's anthology Writing black Britain 1948-98 ( MUP, 2000) making an ideal companion to the earlier book. ;

        Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases

        Geographical Distribution and Control Strategies in the Euro-Asia Region

        by Edited by Mo Salman, Jordi Tarrés-Call.

        The continuing emergence and evolution of tick-borne diseases has significant implications for animal and human health, and the profitability of food animal production. These problems are enhanced by the spread of ticks to new regions, and many tick-borne diseases having zoonotic capability. This book is an expansion of the EFSA report on the subject, and details the significance of tick-borne diseases, identification of tick species, emerging tick-borne infections, factors influencing the spread and distribution of ticks and surveillance and control measures.

        The Assembly of the Wretched

        by Salman Amin

        Like Life: Real, Bitter and Sweet; A Vivid Picture of Unseen Tehran   The story takes place in Tehran. The main character is a conscript named Qasem, who lives with his younger brother and his mother, Masoumeh. After the death of her husband, Masoumeh has married Ismail, a smuggler who uses her as a cover. To prevent his mother's impending trip with Ismail to move drugs, Qasem requests a leave of absence from Colonel Ghafoor. The colonel objects for no apparent reason and Qasem's excessive insistence leads to a conflict with the colonel. After wounding another soldier, Qasem runs away and hides at an abandoned gas station in the south of Tehran where Kobra, her young son, and Ibish live. Kobra is an addicted dealer and Ibish, suffering from all kinds of delusions as a result of consuming meth, clutches at straws to force his wife to live with him again. Later on, Maget joins them, a professional thief seeking revenge on his mistress who has married another man in his absence. Looking for a way to save his family from misery, Qasem, a now-wanted, unintentionally joins these miserable refugees and gets involved in their strange adventures, not knowing that his case has become a political and security case...

        Haatspraak

        Antisemitisme - een 21e eeuwse geschiedenis

        by Remco Ensel

        Where does freedom of speech end and do insults, threats, and hate speech begin? Why does a rapper sing that more Muslims than Jews were killed during the Holocaust? This book addresses the 21st century wave of anti-Semitic incidents in the streets and on the internet, the distortions of historic commemoration in our country and the problems with education about the Holocaust. It is an incisive analysis of a multicultural drama in which anti-Jewish statements play a crucial role. By going back in time, Remco Ensel puts the new anti-Semitism in the context of post-war history of protest and provocation. From the student protests in the sixties to the Second Intifada, from ‘zionazi’ to ‘Adolf Sharon’, the Rushdie affair to Mohammed B. The book is based on extensive archival research in Morocco and the Netherlands and on conversations with journalists and politicians, such as Bertus Hendriks, Job Cohen, Elatik Fatima Ahmed Marcouch, Ronny Naftaniel and many others.

        Mursiyya

        El talismán del yemení

        by Reyes Puerta, Sergio

        In the year 825 A.C., Abderraman II, the Emir of Cordoba, ordered the construction of Madina Mursiyya, the actual city of Murcia. Not many years before, a little boy called Omar, witness to one of the turning points that would spark off a bloody civil war in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, finds and secretly hides a pendant that will later disclose its power and significance. Always in the company of the aforementioned talisman, which belonged to the Yemeni man murdered next to the river Sangonera, Omar will be forced to act as a spy amid the fratricidal conflict if he wants to save his father from the unfair fate that abides him, shake off the yoke of his stepbrothers and recover his beloved from the grip of the emir and his favourite eunuch. For those purposes, he will have to get involved in the foundation of the city and at the same time confront, with the help of those who should have been his natural enemies, a number of intriguing characters who should have been his allies all through an extraordinary plot full of magic, innocence and adventures.   En el 825 d.C. el emir de Córdoba, Abderramán II, ordenó la fundación de la ciudad de Mursiyya, la actual Murcia. Pocos años antes el pequeño Omar, testigo de uno de los decisivos sucesos que incitarían una cruenta guerra civil en el sureste de la península ibérica, encuentra y esconde un colgante que más tarde revelaría su poder e importancia. Acompañado de dicho talismán, propiedad del Yemení asesinado junto al río Sangonera, Omar deberá actuar como espía en el fraticida conflicto si quiere salvar a su padre de su injusto destino, liberarse del yugo de sus hermanastros y recuperar a su amada de las garras del emir y de su eunuco predilecto. Para ello deberá colaborar en la fundación de la ciudad sin dejar de enfrentarse, con la ayuda de los que deberían haber sido sus enemigos naturales, a intrigantes personajes de su propia facción en una insólita historia llena de magia, inocencia y aventuras. La sorprendente novela en la que la vida de nuestro entrañable protagonista Omar se entreteje con la de cerca de un centenar de personajes reales de los siglos IX y anteriores, y con la Historia de Murcia, su huerta y el resto de la antigua cora de Tudmir (Región de Murcia, Alicante, y parte de Almería y Albacete), y la del resto de al Andalus.
