Abstract

"In the first book-length study of Takkanot Kandiyah, Martin Bory´sek analyses this fascinating corpus of Hebrew texts written between 1228 -1583 by the leaders of the Jewish community in Candia, the capital of Venetian Crete. Collected in the 16th century by the Cretan Jewish historian Elijah Capsali, the communal byelaws offer a unique perspective on the history of a vibrant, culturally diverse Jewish community during three centuries of Venetian rule. As well as confronting practical problems such as deciding whether Christian wine can be made kosher by adding honey, or stopping irresponsible Jewish youths disturbing religious services by setting off fireworks in the synagogue, Takkanot Kandiyah presents valuable material for the study of communal autonomy and institutional memory in pre-modern Jewish society"--

Abstract

Gandhi est une des figures politiques les plus marquantes du xxe siècle. Alors que sa vie n'a cessé d'alimenter de nombreuses controverses, celles-ci semblent souvent s'être évaporées sous la plume de ses biographes succombant aisément à l'hagiographie. Le présent ouvrage, qui se veut à la fois synthétique et critique, analyse la vie, la pensée et l'œuvre de Gandhi. Dans une première partie, les étapes marquantes de sa vie seront retracées en mettant en exergue la force, mais aussi les ambiguïtés de ses actions. La seconde partie se focalisera sur la pensée de Gandhi : ses idées sur la religion, la politique, l'action sociale, la caste, la non-violence, les femmes et la sexualité seront examinées parmi d'autres. C'est un Gandhi à la fois plus humain et plus complexe qui se révélera au cours de ces pages ; loin d'être tarie, sa pensée ne se laisse pas enfermer dans des formules insipides et elle continuera d'influencer de nombreuses personnalités pour longtemps encore.

Abstract

The aim of this book is to understand the complex evolution of the socio-political ideas of Gandhi and King and also their confluence in the specific context of India and America respectively. Based on a threadbare analysis of socio-political ideas of Gandhi and King, the book argues that the moral politics of redemptive love and non-violence that they consistently pursued represents an appealing vision for the present century.

Abstract

As a precocious young girl, Surekha knew very little about the details of her mother Amma’s unusual past and that of Babu, her mysterious and sometimes absent father. The tense, uncertain family life created by her parents’ distant and fractious marriage and their separate ambitions informs her every action and emotion. Then one evening, in a moment of uncharacteristic transparency and vulnerability, Amma tells Surekha and her older sister Didi of the family tragedy that changed the course of her life. Finally, her daughters begin to understand the source of their mother’s deep commitment to the Indian nationalist movement and her seemingly unending willingness to sacrifice in the name of that pursuit. In this re-memory based on the published and unpublished work of Amma and Surekha, Meenal Shrivastava, Surekha’s daughter, uncovers the history of the female foot soldiers of Gandhi’s national movement in the early twentieth century. As Meenal weaves these written accounts together with archival research and family history, she gives voice and honour to the hundreds of thousands of largely forgotten or unacknowledged women who, threatened with imprisonment for treason and sedition, relentlessly and selflessly gave toward the revolution.
