Civilisational Repositioning
This book confronts the decades-overdue Arab revival through a criticism of civilisation, which is composed of two parts: firstly, researching others and identifying our commonalities in the making of success; and, secondly, so as to prepare well for the future decades of global development, find the way to overcome our present obstructions, which will enable a long-awaited revival.
Broadcasting Change
Amid civil war, failing states, and terrorism, Arab liberals are growing in numbers and influence. Advocating a culture of equity, tolerance, good governance, and the rule of law, they work through some of the region’s largest media outlets to spread their ideals within the culture. Broadcasting Change analyzes this trend by portraying the intersection of media and politics in two Arab countries with seismic impact on the region and beyond. In Saudi Arabia, where hardline clerics silenced their opponents for generations, liberals now dominate the airwaves. Their success in weakening clerics’ grip over the public space would not only help develop the country; it would ensure that the birt...
Change: Adapt or Perish
Prof. Jamal Sanad Al-Suwaidi examines the myriad social, economic, technological and political changes currently taking place globally, exploring the extent to which these changes will redefine humanity’s role, function and position, even the very concept of human existence itself.

While technology is the most prolific driver of change in modern societies, Change, Adapt, or Perish looks at a broader array of ways in which change is taking place. Education, IT, jobs, warfare and e...

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
