R itty Lukose’s Liberalization’s Children is an excellent ethnographic exploration of the cultural politics of globalization in post-liberalization Kerala. It stands out in two ways. First, Lukose pays attention to the local dimensions of globalization, showing how it affects those generally considered to be on the margins of globalization. Second, she examines how young people experience globalization and its attendant cultural practices. As Sunaina Maira has said, “research on globalization has not intersected deeply enough with that on youth culture” (2004:205), and this book makes a valuable contribution to the small (but steadily growing) body of scholarship on youth and globalization. Lukose provides a broad perspective on globalization by examining it “as experience, as practice, and as discourse” (7). She also offers a muchneeded counter to the popular idea that the experience of globalization and liberalization is denied to some groups (such as rural people) while available to others (such as urban, cosmopolitan populations).

: This paper provides a Jungian interpretation of the frame story of 1001 Nights . Using a psychodynamic approach, the key characters in the frame story are considered as different pieces of the female psyche during the journey of individuation. This reveals the story’s hidden content about inner enemies of the female psyche, such as a tyrannical animus that feeds from an oppressive environment. With a happy ending that represents the union of the ego and the animus, 1001 Nights highlights a path to women’s empowerment and social harmony that involves facing inner and outer demons. The essay also argues that with its emphasis on freedoms as a source of individual and social peace, 1001 Nights captures the Zeitgeist of the period from which it emerged, namely 9th-century Abbasid rule, particularly under the reign of Caliph al-Mamun.

: To illuminate the complicated relationship between the authorities and society in the contemporary Arab world, this paper draws on Ibn Khaldun’s propositions. By applying edward Said’s notion of traveling theory, it traces, interrogates, and evaluates ways in which multiple readings of Ibn Khaldun’s theory have been (re)formulated, transplanted, and circulated by other authors, and how these theories traveled from an earlier point to another time and place where they come into new prominence. furthermore, it examines how three contemporary Arab thinkers (Abid Al-Jabri, Abdullah Laroui, and nazih Ayubi) addressed and interpreted the heritage of Ibn Khaldun and his theory on state formation and authority constitutive in the Arab Islamic world (particularly the Sunni world). The paper concludes that, in comparison with Said’s “traveling theory” intentions, the three modern Arabic readings of Ibn Khaldun’s theory were not traveling as much as it was attempting to uproot, distort, suffocate, and even bury Ibn Khaldun’s original theory, as well as obliterate and culturally appropriate the features of the original theory, and portray it as the opposite of progress and modernization, in favor of enhancing the dominance of Western epistemology.
为了阐明当代阿拉伯世界当局与社会之间的复杂关系，本文借鉴了伊本·赫勒敦的主张。通过运用爱德华·赛义德的旅行理论的概念，它追溯、询问和评估了伊本·赫勒敦理论的多种解读被其他作者(重新)表述、移植和传播的方式，以及这些理论如何从早期的一点传播到另一个时间和地点，并在那里获得了新的突出地位。此外，它还考察了三位当代阿拉伯思想家(Abid Al-Jabri, Abdullah Laroui和nazih Ayubi)如何阐述和解释伊本·赫勒敦的遗产以及他关于阿拉伯伊斯兰世界(特别是逊尼派世界)国家形成和权威构成的理论。本文的结论是，与赛义德的“旅行论”意图相比，伊本·赫勒敦理论的三种现代阿拉伯语解读与其说是旅行，不如说是试图将伊本·赫勒敦的原始理论连根拔起、扭曲、窒息，甚至埋葬，抹杀和文化上占有原始理论的特征，将其描绘成进步和现代化的对立面，有利于加强西方认识论的主导地位。

I chose this book for review for the simple reason that I enjoy reading fiction, as it seems do most contributors to this absorbing collection of essays. Edited by Jonathan Gosling, Professor of Leadership Studies at the University of Exeter, and writer and consultant Peter Villiers, Fictional Leaders adopts an intriguing, and unusual, approach to leadership. From ancient and modern texts, this book demonstrates how literature offers insights into contemporary issues regarding leadership. In their intro-duction, Gosling and Villiers argue that management theory often obscures leadership experiences by focusing on positive aspects of leading. The stated aim of this book, by contrast, is to address difficult-to-explore aspects of leadership such as ‘ loneliness, frustration and disappointment ’ (p. 1). The intent is not to provide an overarching leadership theory, but rather to highlight ‘ conceptual observation and theoretical problems ’ (p. 1) by focusing on particular experiences.
