Marriage globally is undergoing profound change, provoking widespread public comment and concern. Through the close ethnographic examination of case studies drawn from Africa, Asia, Europe and North America, Marriage in Past, Present and Future Tense places new and changing forms of marriage in comparative perspective as a transforming and also transformative social institution. In conditions of widespread socio-political inequality and instability, how are the personal, the familial and the political co-produced? How do marriages encapsulate the ways in which memories of past lives, present experience and imaginaries of the future are articulated? Exploring the ways that marriage draws together and distinguishes history and biography, ritual and law, economy and politics in intimate family life, this volume examines how familial and personal relations, and the ethical judgements they enfold, inform and configure social transformation. Contexts that have been partly shaped through civil wars, cold war and colonialism – as well as other forms of violent socio-political rupture – offer especially apt opportunities for tracing the interplay between marriage and politics. But rather than taking intimate family life and gendered practice as simply responsive to wider socio-political forces, this work explores how marriage may also create social change. Contributors consider the ways in which marital practice traverses the domains of politics, economics and religion, while marking a key site where the work of linking and distinguishing those domains is undertaken.

Building on his award-winning research, Christian Mauder’s In the Sultan’s Salon constitutes the first detailed study of the intellectual, religious, and political culture of the court of the Mamluk Sultanate (1250–1517), one of the most important polities in Islamic history.
Preserving New York is the largely unknown inspiring story of the origins of New York City’s nationally acclaimed landmarks law. The decades of struggle behind the law, its intellectual origins, the men and women who fought for it, the forces that shaped it, and the buildings lost and saved on the way to its ultimate passage, span from 1913 to 1965. Intended for the interested public as well as students of New York City history, architecture, and preservation itself, over 100 illustrations help reveal a history richer and more complex than the accepted myth that the landmarks law sprang from the wreckage of the great Pennsylvania Station. Images include those by noted historic photographers as well as those from newspaper accounts of the time. Forgotten civic leaders such as Albert S. Bard and lost buildings including the Brokaw Mansions, are unveiled in an extensively researched narrative bringing this essential episode in New York’s history to future generations tasked with protecting the city’s landmarks. For the first time, the story of how New York won the right to protect its treasured buildings, neighborhoods and special places is brought together to enjoy, inform, and inspire all who love New York.
For a while, it is just a sloppy sombrero like all the others in Burrito Land, as if shaped on a conveyor belt somewhere and handed out at a soup kitchen. It is a souvenir of thoughtless charity, the kind that offers no regard to the particular birthright of a man. But then, once upon a time, it is transfigured, perhaps by a playful shadow in the mind, or perhaps in reality. It does not really matter how this comes to be. The new truth is that it is the Proto-Sombrero, the Alpha and the Omega, tilted atop a cactus plant as an icon of lazy, sublime defiance. And there is nothing higher, not even the sun. The little people adore it. They hold their tongues, as if worshippers in a lecture hall, until one day their eyes glare just a bit too much. And somewhere in the raised fists and sharpened wits, it is lost, like a half-baked seedling tossed into a wild river. It is the Lost Sombrero. Will it be found amidst the rubble of discontent? And, if so, then will it be ever again hoisted atop the cactus plant? These are the rather scintillating questions addressed in this book; and there is no doubt that the reader, upon recapturing his or her startled breath, cannot but dive into the pages to seek the answers. As a side note, in these pages there is a consideration of several related topics: the Gnostic myth; the nature of man; the problem of sin; even whether time is linear, or circular, or maybe just an infinitesimally small point floating about in space somewhere. Mind-blowing, to be sure; but there is no need for concern, as such will be but brief detours from the Grand Odyssey of the Lost Sombrero.
