"Singapore Malays subscribe to mostly traditional rather than modern interpretations of Islam. Singapore state officials, however, wish to curb the challenges such interpretations bring to the country's political, social, educational and economic domains. Thus, these officials launched a programme to socially engineer modern Muslim identities amongst Singapore Malays in 2003, which is ongoing. Negotiating Malay Identities in Singapore documents a variety of ethnographic encounters that point to the power struggles surrounding two basic and very different ways of living. While the Singapore state has gained some successes for its project, it has also faced significant and multiple setbacks. Amongst them, state officials have had to contend with traditional Islamic authority that Malay elders carry and who cannot be ignored because these elders are time-entrenched figures of repute in their community. One of the book's significant contributions is that it documents how Singapore, an avowedly secular state, has now turned to Islam as a tool for governance. Just as significant are the insights the study provides on another aspect of Singapore state governance, one usually described as 'authoritarian'. The book demonstrates that even authoritarian states can face serious obstacles in the face of religion's influence over its followers. Moreover, the academic literature on Singapore Malays is sparse and this work not only fills gaps in the existing literature but provides new and original research data"--

Plus de quinze ans s'écoulent entre la première lettre échangée entre André Malraux et Albert Camus le 30 octobre 1941 et l'ultime billet envoyé par ce dernier à son ami. Durant cette période, Albert Camus est devenu cet ±écrivain important qu'André Malraux avait pressenti dès la lecture du premier manuscrit de L'Étranger, et le militant enthousiaste du théâtre du Travail d'Alger, un intellectuel engagé et reconnu mondialement. Le jeune homme, qui envoyait timidement à son aîné son premier recueil de textes, a reçu le prix Nobel de littérature. Le brillant compagnon de route du Parti communiste, quant à lui, s'est rallié au gaullisme et en est devenu le fervent propagandiste. Tandis que le Prix Goncourt de 1933 s'est détourné du genre romanesque pour se consacrer à ses écrits sur l'art, Albert Camus, qui a connu à son tour le succès avec La Peste, s'est investi avec passion dans la voie du théâtre, si étrangère à André Malraux. Trente-six lettres, des rencontres et des échanges, pour passer de l'±admiration à la ±pensée amicale : Albert Camus grandit sans renier le ±maître de sa jeunesse tout en trouvant sa propre voie ; André Malraux poursuit sa réflexion et réalise ses rêves de destin historique. Estime et attention réciproques marquent ces échanges épistolaires et ces écrits prenant leur source dans la genèse éditoriale et littéraire d'une grande œuvre

Albert Camus was a formative artist, writer and public figure whose work defies conventional labels, and whose legacy is controversial but substantial. His distinctive contribution to modern ethical and political thought remains far from settled. Camus and the Challenge of Political Thought comprehensively yet concisely explores how Camus's compelling ideas of absurdity and rebellion emerged, how his complex political engagements and positions developed, and how his conception of an ethics of limits and measure retains a vital, contemporary resonance in an era of unsettling global politics. Drawing upon the full range of Camus's notebooks, novels, plays and philosophical essays, Hayden shows Camus to be an original political thinker of human dignity and freedom whose life and work sought to navigate between the twin dangers of idealistic optimism and nihilistic despair.
