Holding the World Together
“In bringing together scholars across generations, nationalities, disciplines, races, gender, ethnicities, continents, and religions to engage interdisciplinary reflection of the ever-changing field, Achebe and Robertson highlight the nuanced discourse about gender studies in Africa while recognizing the ongoing desire to contest inappropriate stereotypes about African women.” – Mary Nyangweso
Culture of Encounters
“Focused on the rich tradition of Sanskrit literary production and culture at the Mughal court that ruled South Asia between the 16th and 19th centuries, Audrey Truschke's Culture of Encounters: Sanskrit at the Mughal Court is a timely addition to scholarship on early modern empires and encounter-based approaches to South Asian historical research.” - Manasvin Rajagopalan
Religious Imaginations and Global Transitions
“[This book is] a rich volume edited and introduced by James Walters, invites us to consider the multiple ways in which religious traditions—while themselves not static or unchanged—shape the ways people conceive of the world around them and act in it. The contributors to the volume bring an extraordinary wide array of critical reflections on the theme of religious imagination from interdisciplinary standpoints and professional experiences, which also go well beyond academia . . . “ - Katerina Hatzikidi
As Wide as the World Is Wise
“At the heart of Jackson’s project is the option of opening oneself to different modalities and accepting or even embracing the ways in which one’s position, beliefs, or practices as a scholar may also be reshaped. If we are to have any ethical mandate, according to Jackson, it is to occupy the penumbral regions between illumination and shadow, seeking to understand the other only ever provisionally—and never statically—in the negotiation that takes place between subject and object, global and local.” - Yusuf Lenfest
Solidarity and Defiant Spirituality
“What is at stake in this book is for people to find themselves in the battle against gender violence, to understand the biases they bring to this epidemic that does not seem to be abating, and to participate in the practice of withdrawing themselves from colonizing practices that stabilize incidents of violence against women.” - Nicole Symmonds
