Islamic postcolonialism is a theoretical perspective that combines two components which have up until now existed in a state of tension. As a secular theory, postcolonialism has notably failed to account for Muslim priorities; it has, for instance, had severe problems critiquing the anti-Islam polemics of The Satanic Verses, as is evidenced by Edward Said's support for Rushdie, in spite of his criticism of the stereotypical representation of Islam and Muslims in the West.Islamic postcolonialism applies the anti-colonial resistant methodology of postcolonialism from a Muslim perspective, explor

Dirty Water is the riveting story of how Howard Bennett, a Los Angeles schoolteacher with a gift for outrageous rhetoric, fought pollution in Santa Monica Bay--and won. The story begins in 1985, when many scientists considered the bay to be one of the most polluted bodies of water in the world. The insecticide DDT covered portions of the sea floor. Los Angeles discharged partially treated sewage into its waters. Lifeguards came down with mysterious illnesses. And Howard Bennett happily swam in it every morning. By accident, Bennett learned that Los Angeles had applied for a waiver from the Clean Water Act to continue discharging sewage into the bay. Incensed that he had been swimming in dirty water, Bennett organized oddball coalition to orchestrate stunts such as wrapping brown ribbon around LA's city hall and issuing Dirty Toilet Awards to chastise the city's administration. This is the fast-paced story of how this unusual cast of characters created an environmental movement in Los Angeles that continues to this day with the nationally recognized Heal the Bay. Character-driven, compelling, and uplifting, Dirty Water tells how even the most polluted water can be cleaned up-by ordinary people.

Au seuil de l'ouvrage, Monica Charlot accueille le lecteur avec cette photo et ce sourire si fidèles à l'image que nous gardons d'elle. Celle d'une spécialiste de renom international, qui a consacré aux institutions politiques du Royaume-Uni l'essentiel de sa recherche et de son enseignement. Aussi est-ce le thème qu'ont choisi certains de ses collègues et amis de l'Institut du Monde Anglophone, à l'université Sorbonne nouvelle - Paris 3, pour lui rendre hommage dans cet ouvrage dédié à sa mémoire. Les contributions qui composent l'ouvrage s'inscrivent dans la diachronie, entre une ouverture consacrée à l'évolution de l'histoire politique et un épilogue, réflexion sur « l'art de la recherche créative ». Entre les deux sont évoqués le système électoral de l'Angleterre des Lumières vu par un caricaturiste, l'époque victorienne de Sherlock Holmes, la politique étrangère telle qu'elle est perçue par les journalistes de guerre, mais aussi le comportement des électeurs britanniques d'aujourd'hui, la formation des infirmières au début du XXe siècle, le problème actuel du logement dans le Grand Londres ou la politique britannique en matière de forêts et de reboisement à l'heure de l'écologie et du développement durable. Reflets des multiples facettes de ce que fut l'œuvre de Monica Charlot, ces articles sont un témoignage de reconnaissance, d'estime et d'amitié.
