A primer for teaching Indian Ocean world history: ten design principles
- 2024
-
In: ChoiceReviews. - 0009-4978. ; 62:3, s. 322-322
-
Review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Drawing on years of experience researching and teaching the history of the Indian Ocean world, this clever primer penned by historians Alpers (emer., Univ. of California, Los Angeles) and McDow (Ohio State Univ.) not only supplements, but likely replaces, the outdated textbooks college and high school educators use to introduce students to such a vast and complex story. The task of encouraging those already teaching and future instructors to adopt au courant research into their world history courses invariably addresses the frustrations scholars of the Indian Ocean world have with their field’s neglect. By creating an accessible format of course design principles, this book guides would-be teachers on how to engage topics as varied as geography, trade, migration, disease, empire, and the impact of the environment on Indian Ocean societies. As such, the helpful introduction to non-European sources that accommodates the historical methodologies to which these two experts of the field contributed over the years makes this an excellent tool for instructors seeking new ways to develop their curriculum and thus enrich their students' experience when learning about how the Indian Ocean contributes to world history. Superb for graduate students, advanced scholars, and high school teachers.

Review (other academic/artistic)abstract
- With the Cold War ending by 1990, the trillions in Military Industrial Complex (MIC) profits were under threat. Fortunately, the transition to fighting the ‘war on terror’ on the battlefield and lecture halls has proven a perfect substitute. As Joseph Massad so strikingly articulates in his Islam and Liberalism (University of Chicago Press, 2016), Islam plays an essential role in how academics claiming expertize in terrorism narrate the world. Most glaring has been the increasingly evident racist assumptions about ‘Arabs’ and ‘Muslims’, collectively associated with ideologies advocating terrorism. The consequences of this discourse have long been the focus of the work by Edward Said, Talal Asad and more recently Joseph Massad.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Muḥammad al-Badr b. Aḥmad Ḥamīd al-Dīn (15 February 1926–6 August 1996) was the last Zaydī Imām of the Mutawakkilī dynasty, a family that decended from the prophet Muḥammad and ruled North Yemen from 1918. Today either revered or despised for his part as amīr al-muʾminīn (commander of the faithful) in a counter-revolutionary campaign in the 1960s, he played a critical role in Yemen’s post-World War II era.

Albanian Slide : The Roots to NATO's Pending Lost Balkan Enterprise
- 2019
-
In: Insight Turkey. - : Insight Turkey/SETA Vakfi. - 1302-177X .- 2564-7717. ; 21:2, s. 149-170
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Since the end of the 1990s, Albanians in North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, and Serbia have submitted to a regime of political and economic austerity in return for access to the European Union. The heavy costs, from economic decline, deadly pollution, and political corruption have translated into years of frustrations. These frustrations have exposed a political failure that extends from the region to the United States and Brussels. The resulting political turmoil will soon turn violent as the global economic downturn puts strains on Albanians sliding further away from their untrustworthy EU/U.S. allies. These afflicted relations may also highlight enduring tensions within the larger NATO alliance as American unilateralism continues to strain the divergent interests of key European partners.

Amerika'da Balkanlar'ın Kültürel Elitinin Paradoksal Dağılımı : Sona Kadar Bir Osmanlı Arnavut Hikayesi
- 2020
-
In: Kebikeç. - 1300-2864. ; 50, s. 261-284
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- As the lives of so many men and women in the late nineteenth century Ottoman Balkans collapsed, many began to invest in ways to circumvent the accompanying powers of the modern state. An equal number attempted to manage the changes by availing themselves to the evolving Ottoman state with the hope of fusing efforts of reform with the emerging political-cultural structures of the larger world that was explicitly geared to tear the multiethnic Ottoman Balkans apart. By exploring the manner in which some members of the Balkans' cultural elite adapted as their worlds transformed, this article introduces new methods of interpreting and narrating transitional periods such as those impacting men like Fan S. Noli. His itinerary itself reveals just how complex life in the Balkans and Black Sea would be during the 1878-1922 period, but not one entirely subordinate to the ethno-nationalist agenda so often associated with him.
