Change and Its Discontents. Religious Organizations and Religious Life in Central and Eastern Europe
This volume presents a comparative study on the pivotal role of religion in social transformation of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) over the past three decades. Organized into four thematic sections, it examines divergent patterns of religiosity and non-religious worldviews, secularization, religious presence in public life, and processes of identity formation. Comparison across the countries in the CEE reveals the absence of uniform and synchronic dynamics in the region. The geopolitical and cultural heterogeneity, the need to understand post-1989 social processes in the context of a much longer historical development of the region, and the importance of incorporating religious factors โ€” are central to all contributions in this volume.

Saladin lived at a time when the Islamic world was going through profound changes. Since the later 11th century Turkish ruling elites had dominated most of the IslamicMiddle East. In military terms Arabs and Persians were being pushed aside, though they continued to dominate the religious, cultural and commercial elites.Meanwhile Kurds had only limited and localized importance, which makes the rise of a man of Kurdish origins like Saladin all the more unusual.
Mestizos Identities at the Margins of Portuguese Imperial Expansion
Filhos da Terra narrates the history over time of the so-called โ€˜Portuguese communitiesโ€™ living outside the boundaries of the Portuguese Empire but identified locally and by other European empires as โ€˜Portugueseโ€™. Concepts such as โ€˜tribeโ€™, โ€˜diasporaโ€™, and โ€˜society of mรฉtissageโ€™ have been widely used to define these groups.

In Filhos da Terra, Antรณnio Manuel Hespanha sets the stage to analyse a process of creolization that followed the Portuguese maritime expansion and consequent colonial buildup after 1415 and until 1800. This translated edition of his work opens up the possibility for future critical scholarly and public comparative discussions about diversity, identities, and identifications in the context of European empire building.
