Drawing on research that combines an ethnography of a new group of women from popular classes intoday's Turkey and a study of vigilante violence against these women, including interviews and courtfiles, The Body Unburdened offers a compelling explanation for the surge of hostility against women inthe global era. It chronicles the journey of the New Woman from the neoliberal global era to thepopulist moment in the twenty-first century to show how the New Woman has gone from being adesirable employee in the global service economy to a precarious body that faces the risk of violence inthe right-wing populist moment. The book argues that those emotional and embodied capacities, whichhad made the New Woman attractive to service employers, catapulted her into the center of highlycontentious politics as both a feminist icon of resistance and the target of violent hostility during thereign of Turkey's government.

If Books Fail, Try Beauty: An Ethnography of Educated Womanhood in the New East Africa examines Kampala's university-based sexual economy wherein female students exchange sexual favors for money, grades, and luxury commodities. These practices increase young women's risk for infectious disease, pregnancy, and moral rebuke, yet many women engaged in "transactional" sex are adept students at Makerere University and members of East Africa's nascent middleclass. Based on thirty-six months of ethnographic research, If Books Fail reveals that students participate in Makerere's sexual economy to pursue social advancement in a newly privatized education sector. The book charts the passage and effects of Uganda's education restructuring from 2004 onwards and demonstrates how these reforms - in opposition to the government's gender equality aims - undermine female students' opportunities for success by reshaping the meaning of "educated woman." If Books Fail brings together formerly disparate conversations about education, sexuality, and state policy to offer a theorization of emerging forms of selfhood in the post colony.

In The Global Politics of Interreligious Dialogue, Michael D. Driessen examines the growth of state-sponsored interreligious dialogue initiatives in the Middle East and their use as a policy instrument for engaging with religious communities and ideas. Using a novel theoretical framework and drawing on five years of ethnographic fieldwork, Driessen explores both the history of interreligious dialogue and the evolution of theological approaches to religiouspluralism in the traditions of Catholicism and Sunni Islam. Compelling and nuanced, this book illustrates how religion operates in contemporary global politics, offering important lessons about the development of alternative models of democracy, citizenship, and modernity.

This book argues that the meaning of "secular" in the West and in Islam differ fundamentally. Though the Islamic secular is a "liberation" from Islam's sacred law, shari'ah, it is neither outside "religion" nor a rival to it; it seeks neither to discipline nor displace religion nor expand its own jurisdiction at religion's expense. The Islamic Secular is, in Sherman Jackson's view, a complement to religion-in effect, a "religious secular." In this book,Jackson makes the case for the Islamic Secular on the basis of Islam's own pre-modern juristic tradition and shows how the Islamic Secular impacts the relationship between Islam and the modern state, including the Islamic State.
