What is common between the representations of the Terena Indians of Mato Grosso do Sul, the sacred space in Shi'i Islam, the Brotherhood of Good Death in Bahia, the celebrations in honor of São João Batista, the representations of Sertanejo Brasil, the homoerotic representations and territorialities and naturists? Answering this question is not a simple matter, but the answer lies in the idea that the representations of space and the space of representations are plural and diverse, requiring other perspectives to interpret the complexity of the world.

Facets of Social Geography: International and Indian Perspectives provides a breadth of information on the nature, scope, history and evolution of social geography along with a good representation of approaches and techniques used in this field. It discusses both conceptual and empirical approaches, and traditional and emergent social geography themes including art and culture, urbanism and crime, social institutions of caste, class and religion, gender, disability, activism, feminism, social planning, enterprise zones, social and economic inequities, post-colonialism, post-modernism and development of quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods. India's social structure based on centuries-old Karma principles and a four-level caste system are dealt with in this book to help unravel the country's social geography. This book is a felicitation volume in honour of Allen G. Noble, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Geography and Planning at the University of Akron, Ohio, USA. A result of the collective effort of 40 leading national and international scholars, it is an excellent addition to the current stock of knowledge and will be of interest to geographers, sociologists, demographers, urban and regional planners and policy-makers.

Ce troisième volume définit le regard que le musulman du Moyen Âge pose sur la terre, l'eau, le ciel, les bêtes et les plantes. La terre, à travers ses montagnes, ses déserts, les campagnes et les sols, est inséparable de l'eau perçue essentiellement dans sa fonction nourricière, d'où l'importance de l'irrigation. Le ciel, considéré dans sa relation avec l'homme à travers le climat, surtout la pluie, capitale pour les zones arides où est installé en grande partie le monde musulman. Évocation enfin des bêtes et des plantes, zoologie et botanique cédant le pas à une description fondée sur le rapport de l'homme à la création tel que le définit l'islam.

As a historical and religious term "diaspora" has existed for many years, but it only became an academic and analytical concept in the 1980s and ’90s. Within its various usages, two broad directions stand out: diaspora as a dispersion of people from an original homeland, and diaspora as a claim of identity that expresses a form of belonging and also keeps alive a sense of difference. Between Dispersion and Belonging critically assesses the meaning and practice of diaspora first by engaging with the theoretical life histories of the concept, and then by examining a range of historical case studies. Essays in this volume draw from diaspora formations in the pre-modern Indian Ocean region, read diaspora against the concept of indigeneity in the Americas, reassess the claim for a Swedish diaspora, interrogate the notion of an "invisible" English diaspora in the Atlantic world, calibrate the meaning of the Irish diaspora in North America, and consider the case for a global Indian indentured-labour diaspora. Through these studies the contributors demonstrate that an inherent appeal to globality is central to modern formulations of diaspora. They are not global in the sense that diasporas span the entire globe, rather they are global precisely because they are not bound by arbitrary geopolitical units. In examining the ways in which academic and larger society discuss diaspora, Between Dispersion and Belonging presents a critique of modern historiography and positions that critique in the shape of global history. Contributors include William Safran (University of Colorado Boulder), James T. Carson (Queen's University), Eivind H. Seland (University of Bergen), Don MacRaild (University of Ulster), and Rankin Sherling (Marion Military Institute: the Military College of Alabama).
