Dagestan - History, Culture, Identity
Dagestan – History, Culture, Identity provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of Dagestan, a strategically important republic of the Russian Federation which borders Chechnya, Georgia and Azerbaijan, and its people. It outlines Dagestan’s rich and complicated history, from 5th c ACE to post USSR, as seen from the viewpoint of the Dagestani people.Chapters feature the new age of social media, urban weddings, modern and traditional medicine, innovative food cultivation, the little-known history of Mountain Jews during the Soviet period, flourishing heroes of sport and finance, emerging opportunities in ethno-tourism and a recent Dagestani music revival.In doing so, the authors examine the large number of different ethnic groups in Dagestan, their languages and traditions, and assess how the people of Dagestan are coping and thriving despite the changes brought about by globalisation, new technology and the modern world: through which swirls an increasing sense of identity in an indigenous multi-ethnic society.

Fashion, Culture, and Identity
What do our clothes say about who we are or who we think we are?How does the way we dress communicate messages about our identity?Is the desire to be "in fashion" universal, or is it unique to Western culture?How do fashions change? These are just a few of the intriguing questions Fred Davis sets out to answer in this provocative look at what we do with our clothes--and what they can do to us.Much of what we assume to be individual preference, Davis shows, really reflects deeper social and cultural forces.Ours is an ambivalent social world, characterized by tensions over gender roles, social status, and the expression of sexuality.Predicting what people will wear becomes a risky gamble when the link between private self and public persona can be so unstable.

Reflections on Myanmar : Identity, Heritage, Aspirations
Myanmar is known for its engaging history, rich cultural heritage, and diverse ethnic communities.Its tumultuous political past has been discussed by academics and policy makers for decades; however, the land of the Shwedagon cannot only be defined by conflict and contestation.Myanmar is complex and multi-layered with innumerable issues shaping its identity and manifold interpretations creating its distinctiveness.A deeper comprehension of its past glory with thoughtful deliberation on its socio-economic challenges helps to understand the country better.This book fills this gap by focusing on four broad themes––reminiscence, restoration, re-evaluation, and resurrection.It studies interconnected issues ranging from nostalgia and belonging to Myanmar’s contribution to art and heritage (through its museums, cinema, folk traditions); from the problems of landlessness, resource dispossession, and climate change to the experience of marginalized groups.The author weaves these themes into a common narrative of discovering Myanmar through a holistic lens.The book aims to explore the country through its history, culture, communities, and challenges. A unique contribution, the book highlights the myriad facets of Myanmar by contemplating on its inherent strengths and visible weaknesses.It would be indispensable for scholars and researchers of Southeast Asian studies, Asian studies, area studies, Myanmar studies, political studies, cultural studies, and sociology.

History of Early Christianity : Religion, Culture, Identity
This comprehensive textbook presents the history of early Christianity from its beginnings to the time of the Second Judean Revolt against the backdrop of the social and historical developments of the early imperial period.Markus Öhler offers a thorough overview of the historical, social, and religious contexts of the Jesus movement in Judea and the various forms of Christian communities and traditions in the Greco-Roman world.From this foundation Öhler reconstructs the origins and trajectory of the Jesus movement, beginning with the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth and the events immediately after his death.Attention is given to the different forms of early Christianity in Judea, Galilee, and Samaria as well as the developments in Syrian Antioch.Special emphasis is placed on the presentation of the ministry of Paul of Tarsus and the social structure of the assemblies of Christ-believers founded by him.An item of central importance for the reconstruction of further developments is the ongoing debate about the significance of the Torah for Christian identity formation.The increasing confrontations with forms of state power are dealt with as well as the further processes of change within early Christianity up to 135 CE.Thus, a coherent overall picture emerges, which is suitable both as an introduction to the history of early Christianity and as a stimulus for further research.
