In Ali Shariati and the Future of Social Theory, Dustin J. Byrd and Seyed Javad Miri bring together a collection of essays by a variety of scholars who explore the lasting influence of the Iranian sociologist and revolutionary, Ali Shariati. Thought to be the most important intellectual behind the Iranian Revolution of 1979, these essays engage in a future-oriented remembrance of Shariati’s life and praxis, with the practical attempt to clarify, expand, and apply his liberational Islamic thought to modern conditions. Making use of Shariati’s writings on Shi’a Islam and western philosophy, this text is especially important for those who want to understand the role that intellectuals, both religious and secular, can play in the liberation of mankind. Contributors are: Mahdi Ahouie, Bader Mousa al-Saif, Sophia Rose Arjana, M. Kürad Atalar, Dustin J. Byrd, Eric Goodfield, Teo Lee Ken, Georg Leube, Seyed Javad Miri, Carimo Mohomed, Chandra Muzaffar, Khosrow Bagheri Noaparast, Fatemeh Shayan, and Esmaeil Zeiny.

Literary Nonfiction. Art. Middle Eastern Studies. Translated from the Farsi by Kavous Seyed-Emami. Bilingual Edition. Dissolving the artificial boundary between human society and wild nature is the goal of DREAMS BEFORE EXTINCTION, a series of twelve remarkable paintings of endangered species by the Tehran-based Iranian artist Naeemeh Naeemaei. Painted in a dream-like, figurative style that is disarming in its sincerity, her artworks bring a distinctly Muslim perspective to environmental art and activism. Through a deeply personal narrative that is disturbing for both its intimacy and its boldness, Naeemaei bravely crosses the dividing line between humans and wild nature to awaken emotional concern not only for the animals in question, but also for the environment as a whole. "I use my dreams, wishes, memorabilia and legends, plus information about the species, to extend my imagination. In each painting, I've lived with an animal in my mind. It is a deep connection." With illuminating comments on each painting by the artist, a preface by the Iranian environmentalist Kavous Seyed-Emami, and an introduction by the historian and graphic artist Paul Semonin, this beautiful bilingual book speaks across the cultural barriers existing today between the Muslim world and Western societies.
