Faculty Scholarship Highlights

Dunsky, Marda, Stories of Palestine: Narratives of Resilience. Notre Dame, Indiana: University of Notre Dame Press, 2021; paperback 2023. 268 pages.  

Dunsky weaves historical background and data with the everyday narratives of Palestinian farmers, scientists, professors, writers, entrepreneurs, cultural initiators and artists in the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza Strip. Columbia University Professor Rashid Khalidi calls the book “meticulously reported” and an “uplifting but gritty book.” 

Lombard, Maria (ed), Reclaiming Migrant Motherhood: Identity, Belonging, and Displacement in a Global Context. Lanham, Maryland: Lexington Books, 2022. 204 pages. 

Situated within motherhood studies, this edited volume is at the interdisciplinary intersection of literature, life writing, gender, (im)migration, refugee, and cultural studies. Contributors examine literary fiction, memoirs, and children’s literature. The borders that displaced mothers face are examined through frameworks of postcolonialism, nationalism, feminism, and diaspora studies. 

Mahmud, Hasan, The Bengali Muslim Question (Bangali). Dhaka, Bangladesh: Swore O Publisher, 2022. 174 pages. 

Mahmud’s Bangali language monograph, Bangali Musolman Proshno, argues that the national historical narrative of Bengali Muslims has racialized and Orientalized the entire population of peasant Muslims (150 million people, or about 80 percent of the country’s population). This has served to protect the power of the ruling elite since the British left South Asia. The book exposes the continuity of this discourse from Hindu nationalist writers in the nineteenth century through key publications in the post-colonial context and offers solutions for decentering a narrative that has become constitutive of repeated authoritarian state projects. 

Zhou, Min and Mahmud, Hasan (eds), Beyond Economic Migration: Social, History and Political Factors in US Immigration. New York: New York University Press, 2023. 400 pages. 

This edited volume presences a nuanced look at a range of issues affecting motives to migrate and outcomes of integration, demonstrating that equitable migration can only be realized by paying attention to how migrants interact with institutional mechanisms and social processes. Michigan State Professor Steven Gold calls the book a “groundbreaking contribution to the field … edited and written by leading scholars in the study of international migration.” 

Wright, Zachary (trans), Moderation, Comportment and Knowledge on the Path to God: Lectures of Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani ʿAli Cissé. Atlanta and Accra: Fayda Books, 2022. 210 pages. 

Wright offers an edited translation of the collected Arabic speeches of the contemporary Senegalese Imam Shaykh al-Tijani Cissé (b. 1955), consistently ranked one of the top twenty-five “most influential” Muslims in the world by the Royal Jordanian Institute’s annual report. Subjects include religious moderation (wasatiyya), etiquette (adab), gnosis (maʿrifa), the rights of women in Islam, interfaith relations, and community solidarity.
