In Against the Closet, Aliyyah I. Abdur-Rahman interrogates and challenges cultural theorists' interpretations of sexual transgression in African American literature. She argues that, from the mid-nineteenth century through the twentieth, black writers used depictions of erotic transgression to contest popular theories of identity, pathology, national belonging, and racial difference in American culture. Connecting metaphors of sexual transgression to specific historical periods, Abdur-Rahman explains how tropes such as sadomasochism and incest illuminated the psychodynamics of particular racial injuries and suggested forms of social repair and political redress from the time of slavery, through post-Reconstruction and the civil rights and black power movements, to the late twentieth century.
Abdur-Rahman brings black feminist, psychoanalytic, critical race, and poststructuralist theories to bear on literary genres from slave narratives to science fiction. Analyzing works by African American writers, including Frederick Douglass, Pauline Hopkins, Harriet Jacobs, James Baldwin, and Octavia Butler, she shows how literary representations of transgressive sexuality expressed the longings of African Americans for individual and collective freedom. Abdur-Rahman contends that those representations were fundamental to the development of African American forms of literary expression and modes of political intervention and cultural self-fashioning.

Описание: Bairam Khan and his son, Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khanan were soldiers, poets and courtiers whose lives reflected the turbulent times they lived in. In telling their stories, Attendant Lords spans the reigns of four emperors - Babur, Humayun, Akbar and Jahangir - and covers over a hundred years of Mughal history, a time when these two noblemen were at the very heart of the court's labyrinthine politics. After Humayun's untimely death, Bairam Khan was regent to the young Emperor Akbar for four critical years. Bairam's own son, Abdur Rahim, became one of the most important generals of the Mughal Empire, but he is best remembered for his literary prowess, most particularly for his famous 'dohas'. Literature plays a large part in this story. This unusual dual biography traces the lives of these two noblemen against the backdrop of the courtly intrigues, brutal power struggles and the grand literary endeavours of the Mughal court. And it looks at their afterlives - how politics and the Hindi-Urdu debate reincarnated them as national heroes; how both men came to be seen as standing at the confluence of Hinduism and Islam; how their life stories have undergone subtle transformations; and how history, religion and literature combine in the broader context of nationalism and nation building.

THE MADINAH [MEDINAH] ARABIC COURSE FOR CHILDREN:
TEXTBOOK LEVEL THREE
This is 'Textbook Level Three' of the 7-book series 'Madinah Arabic Course for Children' aimed for third year elementary school children. The series contains three textbooks, three workbooks and a calligraphy skills book. ('Arabic Calligraphy Made Easy')
It has been developed, modified, improved and tested over a period of several years to make it as suitable as possible for children learning Arabic for the first time (specifically non-native speakers) and particularly for those who are just able to recognize Arabic letters and sounds.
It is a full-color, A-4 sized book filled with pictures, illustrations, and large sized fonts appropriate for children, as well as extra pages for dictation at the end of the book. Additionally, it has been printed on non-glossy paper and therefore can be written on in pencil, and allows for easy erasing.
'Textbook Level Three' is so easy that virtually anyone with basic Arabic skills can teach it. This is especially true for those who have undergone Dr V. Abdur Rahim's famous 'Madinah Arabic Course' (the adult series) or taught 'Levels One and Two' of the Children's series.
It contains 14 chapters, and is 88 pages long.

HOW THIS BOOK WAS MADE:
This book was created with Adobe InDesign. Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop (Middle Eastern versions) were used for the drawings, illustrations and pictures. The document was converted into a PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Only Traditional Arabic Bold was used which I've modified using a font creator program; bold dark blue for captions, bold pink for feminine verbs, bold purple for text, bold brown for examples, and dark green for footnotes. Font size is 30 points throughout. For page numbers I've used Simplified Arabic as I've found it to be a bit easier to distinguish.
Thank you! Shukran!
