Who are the Taliban Are they a militant movement Are they religious scholars The fact that these and other questions are still raised with frequency is testimony to the way the movement has been studied often at arms length and with scant use of primary sources The Taliban Reader forges a new path bringing together an extensive range of largely unseen sources in a guide to the Afghan Islamist movement from a unique insider perspective Ideal for students journalists and scholars alike this book is the result of an unprecedented decadelong effort to encourage the emergence of participantcentered accounts of Afghan history This groundbreaking collection ranging from news articles and opinion pieces to online publications and poems transcribed by hand in the field sets the stage for a recalibration of how we understand and study the Afghan Taliban It challenges researchers to forge new norms in the documentation of conflict and provides insight into the future trajectory of political Islamism in South Asia and the Middle East

Explore tips, opinions, and features on Painted Words Nahua Catholicism Politics sold at 78.71 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
Painted Words presents a facsimile decipherment and analysis of a seventeenthcentury pictographic catechism from colonial Mexico preserved as Fonds Mexicain 399 at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France Works in this genre present the Catholic catechism in pictures that were read sign by sign as aids to memorization and oral performance They have long been understood as a product of the experimental techniques of early evangelization but this study shows that they are better understood as indigenous expressions of devotional knowledgeIn addition to inventive pictography to recount the catechism this manuscript features Nahuatl texts that focus on don Pedro Moteuczoma son of the Mexica ruler Moteuczoma the Younger and his home San Sebastián Atzaqualco Other glosses identify figures drawn within the manuscript as Nahua and Spanish historical personages as if the catechism had been repurposed as a dynastic record The end of the document displays a series of Nahua and Spanish heraldic devicesThese combined pictorial and alphabetic expressions form a spectacular example of how colonial pictographers created innovative text genres through which they reimagined preColumbian writing and early evangelizationand ultimately articulated newly emerging assertions of indigenous identity and memorialized native history
