paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. PAPERBACK, cover price $16.95, near fine, only very light wear. FELDMAN, NOAH. The Arab winter: a tragedy. Princeton and Oxford: Princeton University Press, 2021, xxiv, 192pp., . Why the conventional wisdom about the Arab Spring is wrongThe Arab Spring promised to end dictatorship and bring self-government to people across the Middle East. Yet everywhere except Tunisia it led to either renewed dictatorship, civil war, extremist terror, or all three. In The Arab Winter, Noah Feldman argues that the Arab Spring was nevertheless not an unmitigated failure, much less an inevitable one. Rather, it was a noble, tragic series of events in which, for the first time in recent Middle Eastern history, Arabic-speaking peoples took free, collective political action as they sought to achieve self-determination.Focusing on the Egyptian revolution and counterrevolution, the Syrian civil war, the rise and fall of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, and the Tunisian struggle toward Islamic constitutionalism, Feldman provides an original account of the political consequences of the Arab Spring, including the reaffirmation of pan-Arab identity, the devastation of Arab nationalisms, and the death of political Islam with the collapse of ISIS. He also challenges commentators who say that the Arab Spring was never truly transformative, that Arab popular self-determination was a mirage, and even that Arabs or Muslims are less capable of democracy than other peoples.Above all, The Arab Winter shows that we must not let the tragic outcome of the Arab Spring disguise its inherent human worth. People whose political lives had been determined from the outside tried, and for a time succeeded, in making politics for themselves. That this did not result in constitutional democracy or a better life for most of those affected doesn't mean the effort didn't matter. To the contrary, it matters for historyand it matters for the future. ISBN 9780691227931 6.40.…

Translated from the Bengali by Sreejata Guha. New Delhi ; New York, New York: Penguin Books, 2006, later printing number line, 315pp., . The present collection of stories, all set in Calcutta of the fifties and sixties, brings together four mysteries that put the sleuth's remarkable mental agility to the ultimate test. In The Menagerie (adapted by master film-maker Satyajit Ray for his 1967 film Chiriakhana ) Byomkesh cracks a strange case involving broken motor parts, a seemingly natural death and the peculiar inhabitants of Golap Colony who seem capable of doing just about anything to safeguard the secrets of their tainted pasts. In The Jewel Case , he investigates the mysterious disappearance of a priceless necklace, while in The Will That Vanished he solves a baffling riddle to fulfil the last wish of a close friend. And in The Quills of the Porcupine , the shrewd detective is in his element as he expertly foils the sinister plans of a ruthless opportunist. ISBN 9780143061960 9.30. …

Series: Classics of Asian American literature "Eat a Bowl of Tea, originally published in 1961, is a landmark work in Chinese American literature. It is the first novel to capture the tone and sensibility of everyday life in an American Chinatown. Cited as a major influence by Frank Chin and Maxine Hong Kingston, among others, the novel is an incisive, energetic portrayal of Chinatown's bachelor society, an enclave of old men trapped by racist immigration laws to live out their days in America without their wives or families. It is a tale of adultery and retribution-a study of how a young couple reconcile their dreams of married life with the grim realities they encounter". ISBN 9780295747057 12.70.…
