The Calligraphic State: Textual Domination And History In A Muslim Society
The Calligraphic State: Textual Domination And History In A Muslim Society
Brinkley Messick 
In this innovative combination of anthropology, history, and postmodern theory, Brinkley Messick examines the changing relation of writing and authority in a Muslim society from the late nineteenth century to the present. The creation and interpretation of texts, from sacred scriptures to administrative and legal contracts, are among the fundamental ways that authority is established and maintained in a complex state. Yet few scholars have explored this process and the ways in which it changes, especially outside the Western world.
Messick brings together intensive ethnography and textual analysis from a wealth of material: Islamic jurisprudence, Yemeni histories, local documents. In exploring the structure and transformation of literacy, law, and statecraft in Yemen, he raises important issues that are of comparative significance for understanding political life in other Muslim and non-western states as well.
From the Inside Flap
“Throws completely fresh light on non-colonial yet modern systems of legality and moral power. . . . The picture given of Islamic legal education and practice is one of the best available . . . a compelling read and a fine book for teaching.”–Paul Dresch, Oxford University

Brinkley Messick is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan.

Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
Men Are from Mars Women Are from Venus
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus is a book written by American author, and relationship counselor, John Gray. The book has sold more than 7 million copies and according to CNN it was the “highest ranked work of nonfiction” of the 1990s[1] and spent 121 weeks on the bestseller list. The book and its central metaphor have become a part of popular culture and the foundation for the author’s subsequent books, recordings, seminars, theme vacations, one-man Broadway show and TV sitcom.
Most of common relationship problems between men and women are a result of fundamental differences between the genders, which the author exemplifies by means of the book’s eponymous metaphor: that men and women are from distinct planets, – men from Mars and women from Venus – and that each gender is acclimated to its own planet’s society and customs, but not those of the other. One example from this paradigm is the book’s assertion that men complain that if they try to offer solutions to problems that women want to talk about, women do not necessarily want to find solutions but only want to talk about these problems. The book asserts that each gender can be understood in terms of distinct ways they respond to stress and stressful situations.
