Youth and Education in the Middle East: Shaping Identity and Politics in Jordan (Library of Modern Middle East Studies)
by Daniele CantiniThe uprisings that were seen throughout the Middle East during 2010 and 2011, make it difficult to over-state the role of educated youth in the region's politics. Daniele Cantini combines an analysis of young people in Jordan, of its relevance and of its perceived crisis, with one which looks at education and the pursuit of knowledge. He thereby highlights the unprecedented rise in youth population and the growth in institutions of higher learning as a way to explore and explain the challenges Arab-majority societies are currently facing. It proposes an understanding of the university as an institution integral to the survival of the regime, discusses its fragile reforms, and crucial in the formation of young people's social and political identities. Youth and Education in the Middle East, offers vital first-hand accounts of the role of educational institutions and the impact they have in shaping transnational and local constituencies as well as in the micropolitics of everyday life.

Youth on Edge: Facing Global Crises in Multicultural French Society (Studies in Childhood and Youth)
by Vincenzo Cicchelli Sylvie OctobreThis book explores disrupted youth cohesion in France within the context of multiple ongoing global economic, migratory, social, political, and security-related crises. While these trends can be observed in numerous Western societies, France provides a unique case study of various anti-cosmopolitan and anti-Enlightenment movements shaping youth conditions and reconfiguring relationships between the individual, the group, and society. The authors undertook in-depth interviews with French young people between the ages of 18 to 30 years old to inquire into how they experience "vivre ensemble" (living together) in a time of rising economic inequalities and multicultural tensions. Through these findings, they invite decision-makers, politicians, educators, and parents to propose a renewed narrative of social cohesion for youth who are not disillusioned, but deeply on edge.
Youth Work And Islam: A Leap Of Faith For Young People (PDF)
by Brian Belton Sadek HamidYouth Work and Islam provides an eclectic focus, reflecting it duel inspirations of its title. It considers how youth work can be informed by Islam but at the same time looks at how practice can be pertinent to young Muslims, their community and relationship with wider society.In this book Sadek Hamid and Brian Belton bring together a range of thinkers and practitioners who exemplify and analyse this situation. This not only produces much more than a straightforward view of informed practice, it also presents a broad and humane understanding of the character and possibilities of youth work over a broad perspective. Centrally, while the work demonstrates how Islam and Muslims have contributed to the development of youth work, it also puts forward ideas and standpoints that demonstrate how Islam can continue to inform practice, add to its humanitarian ethos and even make our work with young people in general more effective. As such, Youth Work and Islam is an essential part of any youth worker’s reading, working within and beyond Muslim contexts. It is also a useful and readable text for social workers, teachers, police officers, clerics, medical professional and anyone wanting a more informed understanding of how faith perspectives can inform and refresh attitudes, approaches and enhance work with individuals, groups and communities.

Yārsān of Iran, Socio-Political Changes and Migration
by S. Behnaz HosseiniThis book examines how socio-political surroundings have affected the evolution of Yārsāni religious thought and why the Yārsāni religious belief, despite its fundamental disagreement with Islamic tenets, has been affiliated with Islam. It also considers the historical context and socio-religious milieu in which the Yārsāni belief appropriates religious forces to survive, how Yārsānis experience their religion in Islamic society, and what differences are significant in their lived experiences. The author explores how the experience of worship influences real life for the Yārsānis from the perspectives of sociology, behaviorism, content analysis, cultural studies and ethnography in Iran and diaspora with focus on Sweden. Yārsāni followers became known as those who “don’t tell secrets,” primarily because they were not allowed to promote and advertise their religion in public, but recently have started to reveal their religion, especially in social media. This book discovers the transformation of this religion, and in particular in which context an individual can change the content of religion, and bring about new ideas regarding religion and belief.

Yves Congar's Theology of the Holy Spirit (AAR Academy Series)
by Elizabeth Teresa GroppeThe French Dominican theologian Yves Congar is recognized by many as the most important Roman Catholic ecclesiologist of the 20th century. He was the thinker behind some of the major decrees of the Second Vatican council. He was also a leader in the ecumenical movement in Europe throughout most of the century. Despite his importance, there are few books about Congar in English. Congar's pneumatology, argues Groppe, can enrich various ongoing theological discussions, including reflection as to whether the church should be hierarchical or a democracy, the development of "persons in communion" as a framework for contemporary theological anthropology and ecclesiology, and deliberations about the personhood of the Holy Spirit.
Zahlenwerk: Kalkulation, Organisation und Gesellschaft (Organisation und Gesellschaft)
by Andrea Mennicken Hendrik VollmerInwiefern die massenhafte Mobilisierung von Zahlen und Rechenpraktiken die Aufrechterhaltung sozialer Ordnung ermöglicht oder in Mitleidenschaft zieht, hat in den Sozialwissenschaften bislang wenig systematische Beachtung gefunden. Auch die Diskussion über organisiertes Rechnen, die im englischsprachigen Raum unter dem Oberbegriff des "Accounting" geführt wird, ist weitgehend auf Spezialistenkreise beschränkt geblieben. Mit Beiträgen zum Umgang mit Zahlen in Organisationen, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft dokumentiert der Band "Zahlenwerke" eine nun allmählich erwachende sozialwissenschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit und zeigt dabei neben interdisziplinären Berührungspunkten zwischen Soziologie und Betriebswirtschaftslehre auch solche zwischen organisations- und gesellschaftstheoretischen sowie kulturwissenschaftlichen Ansätzen auf.
