Discover 'Beyond Orientalism,' a groundbreaking exploration of cross-cultural intellectual exchange in the early modern Mediterranean. This enlightening book delves into the influential life of Moroccan polymath Ahmad Ibn Qâsim al-Hajarî (ca. 1570-1641), positioning him at the forefront of a significant yet underappreciated narrative—the Arabic Republic of Letters. Authored by Oumelbanine Zhiri and published by University of California Press in 2023, this work challenges traditional views of Orientalism that diminish the contributions of non-European scholars. By showcasing Hajarî's vital interactions with European Orientalists, Zhiri argues compellingly for an intellectual landscape where ideas flowed fluidly between cultures. This essential read not only highlights Hajarî's role but also underscores the collaborative nature of knowledge circulation between Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. 'Beyond Orientalism' is a must-have for anyone interested in cultural studies, intellectual history, and the intricacies of East-West dialogue. Uncover the rich tapestry of interactions that shape our understanding of global intellectual heritage through this scholarly work that spotlights the unsung heroes of history, enriching your library with diverse perspectives on colonial narratives and intercultural collaboration.Shipping Notes

An essential book on U.S. race and capitalism!
Format: Paperback
One of the most important books on race and capitalism ever written. Such a nuanced study of the California penal system that includes the racist structure of the United States’ criminal justice system, but goes far beyond to analyze how capitalism and profit drive politicians, police, investors, landowners, and working class people—white and Black—to expand the prison system in an age of dropping crime rates. I teach it regularly to undergraduates and graduate students, and it drives fascinating discussions.

Format: Paperback
If anyone has mastered the political economy and geography of prisons in California, it is Ruth Wilson Gilmore in Golden Gulag. Gilmore does a great job of discussing and parceling out the very complex and complicated relationships that exist between capitalism as a system that produces our material world alongside economic crises, and the function of prisons to absorb, manage, relocate and "hide" those very crises in the era of neoliberalism. She also skillfully reminds us over and over that it is black and brown working-class poor communities that bear the brunt of this kind of system that also expresses it's power via white supremacy. I am finding this book very useful and chock-full of interesting information for my current research.
People may find the book a difficult read because it loaded with information and technicalities they are unfamiliar with, but these are good reasons to struggle with a text and truly grasp the increasingly intricate processes that determine and guide the world we live in (and the places we may end up locked in!). As Marx said, there is no royal road to science and knowledge.
