foto: "From Slavery to Freedom" John Hope Franklin (Edition 1969) Since its original publication in 1947, From Slavery to Freedom has stood as the definitive his-tory of African Americans. Coauthors John Hope Franklin and Alfred A. Moss, Jr., give us a vividly detailed account of the journey of African Americans from their origins in the civilizations of Africa, through their years of slavery in the New World, to the successful struggle for freedom and its aftermath in the West Indies, Latin America, and the United States. The book deals in considerable detail with the period after slavery, including the arduous struggle for first-class citizenship that has extended into the twentieth century. Many developments in recent African American history are examined, including demographic change; educational efforts; literary and cultural changes; problems in housing, health, juvenile matters, and poverty; the expansion of the black middle class; and the persistence of discrimination...

"Five tracts of Hasan Al-Banna (1906-1949): A selection from the Majmuat rasail al-Imam al-shahid Hasan al-Banna" Translated by Charles Wendell (University of California, 1978)

Obrázek
Hasan Al-Banna preceded with his work and thus left an imprint on many attempts in the years between the two wars, and especially after the Second World War, to constitute an Islamic order as the supreme political and social ideal. The publication under review contains his five studies translated into English by well-known Arabist and historian Charles Wendell. These are his most often cited essays - Between Yesterday and Today, Our Mission, To What Do We Summon Mankind?, Toward The Light and On Jihad. The main idea is always oriented toward the creation of an Islamic order (an-nizam al-islami). Hasan Al-Banna sees in Islam the only teaching that can ensure social progress and well-being and that is the key to the resolving of all basic problems of mankind. In the above-mentioned essays he tries to explain why, in his opinion, the establishment of an Islamic order is inevitable. According to his concept, there is only one valid law, namely the law of God that has to be impl...

"Pravicový extremismus a radikalismus v ČR" Miroslav Mareš (Barrister & Principal, 2003)

Obrázek
Kniha důkladně rozebírá závažnou společenskou a politickou problematiku. Autor v publikaci nejprve vymezuje pojem pravicový extremismus a zasazuje jej do kontextu soudobého politologického výzkumu. Následně charakterizuje vývoj české ultrapravice do roku 1989. Hlavní část je věnována popisu a analýze pravicového extremismu a radikalismu v ČR v polistopadovém období. Čtenář se seznámí s vývojem a požadavky ultrapravicových politických stran (např. SPR-RSČ a Republikánů Miroslava Sládka či se složitou genezí od Radikální republikánské strany až po post-skinheadskou Pravou alternativu), zájmových skupin (Vlastenecké fronty, Národního frontu castistů, Národní aliance apod.), médií (Týdeníku Politika, vydavatelství Nové obzory apod.), subkultur (skinheadů, fotbalových chuligánů, nazi-punkerů či nacionálně socialistických black metalistů) i militantních a teroristických skupin (Bohemia Hammerskins, Blood & Honour, Národního odporu apod.). Vysvětleny budou soudobé diskuse o protiextremi...

Mohammed Abed al-Jabri "Avoid the hudud Penalties when in Doubt" *

Obrázek
Since the modern Arab Awakening, which soon swept across the entire  Muslim world, with the efforts of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (d. 1897CE)  and Muammad ‘Abduh (d. 1905CE), the Muslim masses have used the  slogan of ‘application of Islamic shariah´ to propound to the masses,  the alternative which they hoped would take them to the enjoyment of a  free and honourable life.  Every member of the Muslim masses, all over the  world, aspires to the day when Islamic shariah will be applied in a manner  that can remove political and social injustice, realize freedom and dignity  for the human being, and pave the way to good deeds and noble  conduct in order for these principles to become the bases of life in Islamic  society, nay, in the whole of human society.
