The book counterbalances an earlier scholarly preoccupation with Tuareg nobility by zoning in on two inferior social status groups, the Bellah-Iklan and free-born vassals, which have been neglected in conventional accounts of Tuareg society. By offering a multi-layered analysis of social status and identity formation in the diaspora, it pleads for a more dynamic understanding of Tuareg socio-political hierarchies. Analyzing in detail how both status groups rely on moralizing labels and racial stereotyping to reformulate their own social and ethnic identity, the study highlights refugees’ aspirations and capacities to remake their imaginary and material worlds in the face of adverse and often deeply humiliating living conditions. The book provides vital insights for refugee studies and for scholarly debates on ethnicity, social identity formation, and memory politics. Souleymane Diallo earned his PhD in socio-cultural anthropology from the University of Cologne. His research interests include forceful migrations and memory politics; Islam, spiritual authority, and power in the Sahara; and the theory and practice of anthropological filmmaking."“The Truth about the Desert”MalibicsscBerber (Tuareg)bicsscNational liberation & independence, post-colonialismbicsscIslamic life & practicebicsscEthnic minorities & multicultural studiesbicsscSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnographybicsscMaliBerber (Tuareg)National liberation & independence, post-colonialismIslamic life & practiceEthnic minorities & multicultural studiesSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnographyDiallo Souleymaneaut1261437BOOK9910773100903321The Truth about the Desert”2937296UNINA05440nam 2200673 450 991078743720332120230120002258.00-12-801743-00-12-801538-1(CKB)3710000000354023(EBL)1956673(SSID)ssj0001466740(PQKBManifestationID)11789409(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001466740(PQKBWorkID)11504546(PQKB)10312142(Au-PeEL)EBL1956673(CaPaEBR)ebr11020384(CaONFJC)MIL732174(OCoLC)905866095(CaSebORM)9780128015384(MiAaPQ)EBC1956673(EXLCZ)99371000000035402320150228h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrBio-inspired computation in telecommunications /edited by Xin-She Yang, Su Fong Chien, Tiew On TingFirst edition.Waltham, Massachusetts :Morgan Kaufmann,2015.©20151 online resource (349 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-336-00892-X Includes bibliographical references and index.Front Cover; Bio-Inspired Computation in Telecommunications; Copyright ; Contents ; Preface ; List of Contributors ; Chapter 1: Bio-Inspired Computation and Optimization: An Overview; 1.1.

The volume is organized chronologically and it includes jurists who represent the formative, classical and modern periods of Islamic legal thought. Each chapter contains both a biography of an individual jurist and a translated sample of his work. The biographies emphasize the scholarly milieu in which the jurist worked—his teachers, colleagues and pupils, as well as the type of juridical thinking for which he is best known. The translated sample highlights the contribution of each jurist to the evolution of both the method and the methodology of Islamic jurisprudence. The introduction by the volume's three editors, Oussama Arabi, David S. Powers and Susan A. Spectorsky, provides a concise overview of the contents. Contributors include: Oussama Arabi, Murteza Bedir, Jonathan E. Brockopp, Robert Gleave, Camilo Gómez-Rivas, Mahmoud O. Haddad, Peter C. Hennigan, Colin Imber, Samir Kaddouri, Aharon Layish, Joseph E. Lowry, Muhammad Khalid Masud, Ebrahim Moosa, David S. Powers, Yossef Rapoport, Delfina Serrano Ruano, Susan A. Spectorsky, Devin J.
