Book Description
Idris is at his wit's end with jealous foes and relationship issues. It seems as if everywhere he turns, someone is plotting on him, and on top of that, his girlfriend likes to club while wearing next to nothing. Idris isn't up for the disrespect from either, and he's putting his foot down left and right. As if that isn't enough, Ivan is going against the grain and engaging in something that could threaten the empire that Idris is going so hard to build. Ivan's stubborn antics are making Idris mad and the only way he knows how to handle it, is to threaten to cut Ivan off. With everything that's going on, Idris has to take a step back and wonder what is all the headache really for, and when is enough, enough? Wisdom is learning how to be in a relationship just as Idris is, but being hardheaded ends up putting Wisdom in a very messed up predicament, and she can't help but to think that it's all her fault. Her greatest fear is that when Idris finds out, he'll leave her for good, and it drives Wisdom to her breaking point. Iman is trying to do right by Jocelyn, but it's making him miserable. He only has so much time to give, and his relationship with Egypt begins to suffer because of it. The last thing he wants to do is let her go, but it may be the only possible answer. The Simms brothers are back in this action packed sequel with more drama than ever.

A Social and Religious History of the Jews: High Middle Ages, 500-1200
Author: Salo Wittmayer Baron
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 9780231088459
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
This book explores the puzzling phenomenon of new veiling practices among lower middle class women in Cairo, Egypt. Although these women are part of a modernizing middle class, they also voluntarily adopt a traditional symbol of female subordination. How can this paradox be explained? An explanation emerges which reconceptualizes what appears to be reactionary behavior as a new style of political struggle--as accommodating protest. These women, most of them clerical workers in the large government bureaucracy, are ambivalent about working outside the home, considering it a change which brings new burdens as well as some important benefits. At the same time they realize that leaving home and family is creating an intolerable situation of the erosion of their social status and the loss of their traditional identity. The new veiling expresses women's protest against this. MacLeod argues that the symbolism of the new veiling emerges from this tense subcultural dilemma, involving elements of both resistance and acquiescence.

Egyptology: The Missing Millennium
Author: Okasha El Daly
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315429764
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
Egyptology: The Missing Millennium brings together for the first time the disciplines of Egyptology and Islamic Studies, seeking to overturn the conventional opinion of Western scholars that Moslims/Arabs had no interest in pre-Islamic cultures. This book examines a neglected period of a thousand years in the history of Egyptology, from the Moslem annexation of Egypt in the seventh century CE until the Ottoman conquest in the 16th century. Concentrating on Moslem writers, as it is usually Islam which incurs blame for cutting Egyptians off from their ancient heritage, the author shows not only the existence of a large body of Arabic sources on Ancient Egypt, but also their usefulness to Egyptology today. Using sources as diverse as the accounts of travelers and treasure hunters to books on alchemy, the author shows that the interest in ancient Egyptian scripts continued beyond classical writers, and describes attempts by medieval Arab scholars, mainly alchemists, to decipher the hieroglyph script. He further explores medieval Arab interest in Ancient Egypt, discussing the interpretations of the intact temples, as well as the Arab concept of Egyptian kingship and state administration—including a case study of Queen Cleopatra that shows how the Arabic romance of this queen differs significantly from Western views. This book will be of great interest to academics and students of archaeology, Islamic studies and Egyptology, as well as anyone with a general interest in Egyptian history.
