Analyzing examples from North and South America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, he identifies recurrent patterns and offers useful lessons for future policymakers. Insurgencies arise from many sources of discontent, including foreign occupation, fraudulent elections, and religious persecution, but they also stem from ethnic hostilities, the aspirations of would-be elites, and traditions of political violence.

Rachel's Inconsolable Cry: The Rise of Women's Bibles --Epilogue --Notes --IndexMany writers in antebellum America sought to reinvent the Bible, but no one, Ilana Pardes argues, was as insistent as Melville on redefining biblical exegesis while doing so. In Moby-Dick he not only ventured to fashion a grand new inverted Bible in which biblical rebels and outcasts assume center stage, but also aspired to comment on every imaginable mode of biblical interpretation, calling for a radical reconsideration of the politics of biblical reception. In Melville's Bibles, Pardes traces Melville's response to a whole array of nineteenth-century exegetical writings-literary scriptures, biblical scholarship, Holy Land travel narratives, political sermons, and women's bibles. She shows how Melville raised with unparalleled verve the question of what counts as Bible and what counts as interpretation.Bible and literatureReligion and cultureReligion and literatureUnited StatesHistory19th centuryAmerican fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismElectronic books.Bible and literature.Religion and culture.Religion and literatureHistoryAmerican fictionHistory and criticism.813/.3Pardes Ilana1037531MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454485103321Melville's Bibles2468544UNINA
