After a foreword by Abdolkarim Soroush, chapters by renowned experts cover: method in Qur'ānic Studies analysis of material evidence, including inscriptions and ancient manuscripts, for what they show of the Qur'ān’s origins the language of the Qur'ān and proposed ways to emend our reading of the Qur'ān how our knowledge of the religious groups at the time of the Qur'ān’s emergence might contribute to a better understanding of the text the Qur'ān’s conversation with Biblical literature and traditions that challenge the standard understanding of the holy book. This debate of recent controversial proposals for new interpretations of the Qur'ān will shed new light on the Qur’anic passages that have been shrouded in mystery and debate. As such, it will be a valuable reference for scholars of Islam, the Qur’an, Christian-Muslim relations and the Middle East.

Book Description
The Battle of Mamusa reflects the grievous event in the Western Transvaal border culture context that contributed profoundly to the dissolution of the last functioning Korana polity. The narrative presented in this work is exceptional for at least two reasons: Firstly, for the thoughtful manner in which the intriguing concept of metaphors is applied in this study of historical ethnography cum ethnohistory. Secondly, for the skilful way in which the author relates the battle of Mamusa to how present-day Korana and neo- Khoisan communities, in a new context, are relating to their future in a post-1994 constitutional dispensation.

Book Description
The San (hunter- gatherers) and Khoe (herders) of southern Africa were dispossessed of their land before, during and after the European colonial period, which started in 1652. They were often enslaved and forbidden from practicing their culture and speaking their languages. In South Africa, under apartheid, after 1948, they were reclassified as “Coloured” which further undermined Khoe and San culture, forcing them to reconfigure and realign their identities and loyalties. Southern Africa is no longer under colonial or apartheid rule; the San and Khoe, however, continue in the struggle to maintain the remnants of their languages and cultures, and are marginalised by the dominant peoples of the region. The San in particular, continue to command very extensive research attention from a variety of disciplines, from anthropology and linguistics to genetics. They are, however, usually studied as static historical objects but they are not merely peoples of the past, as is often assumed; they are very much alive in contemporary society with cultural and language needs. This book brings together studies from a range of disciplines to examine what it means to be Indigenous Khoe and San in contemporary southern Africa. It considers the current constraints on Khoe and San identity, language and culture, constantly negotiating an indeterminate social positioning where they are treated as the inconvenient indigenous. Usually studied as original anthropos, but out of their time, this book shifts attention from the past to the present, and how the San have negotiated language, literacy and identity for coping in the period of modernity. It reveals that Afrikaans is indeed an African language, incubated not only by Cape Malay slaves working in the kitchens of the early Dutch settlers, but also by the Khoe and San who interacted with sailors from passing ships plying the West coast of southern Africa from the 14th century. The book re- examines the idea of literacy, its relationship to language, and how these shape identity. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Critical Arts: South-North Cultural and Media Studies.

Book Description
All alone on a hillside stands an ancient, crumbling stone castle. Built in 1637 to protect its people, the castle has seen many families, invasions, and wars. The story starts in the safety of St. Louis, Missouri, where the narrator, a refugee from the Bosnian War, thinks back to his homeland and the castle fortress that was built for his ancestors. After being expelled from their village after the death of her husband, a woman named Fatima and her three sons—Mooyo, Halil, and Omer—set up camp on a hillside. She sends her oldest son, Mooyo, to a neighboring city with a few coins to buy a cow. After heroically defending the city from the bandits, Mooyo is rewarded beyond his family’s imagination. Their camp sits on a strategic spot that the Ottomans wish to guard from attacks. After hearing of Mooyo’s cleverness and bravery, they make him a prince, let him take an army of reformed bandits to serve him, and take him back to his mother and brothers, promising to build him a stone castle-fortress. And thus begins their adventures. The saga follows Prince Mooyo the First and his decedents who bear the same name up until Mooyo IX, who lives during the time of the Bosnian War. As many people during that time, Mooyo IX flees the only home he has ever known. He leaves with his wife and young son, but they have to abandon their car on the crowded streets. They become refugees of one camp and another. Although the camps were free from war, life has become unbearable, and Mooyo decides to risk escaping. The journey was illegal and dangerous to take his wife and son. After the false start, he makes it to Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, and then to Germany. With the help of numerous relatives, friends, and strangers, he makes it to freedom and peace. Then he struggles to establish a new life, learn a new language, and arrange illegal passage for his wife and son. Along the way, he must overcome villains, borders patrol, bureaucracy, and impatience. As the Bosnian War finally ends, he is reunited with his family, and they decide to immigrate to the United States. He continues to be haunted by nightmares of war and the loss of the land and castle that was so much a part of his being.
