Edited by Maurice A. Pomerantz and Evelyn Birge Vitz
Published by NYU Press, 2017
Related to the Courts and Performance in the Premodern Middle East conference convened by Maurice Pomerantz and Evelyn Birge Vitz in February 2012
In recent decades, scholars have produced much new research on courtly life in medieval Europe, but studies on imperial and royal courts across the Middle East have received much less attention, particularly for courts before 1500AD. In the Presence of Power, however, sheds new light on courtly life across the region. This insightful, exploratory collection of essays uncovers surprising commonalities across a broad swath of cultures.

‘This extraordinary collection is a game-changer. Featuring the cutting-edge work of over forty scholars from across the globe, The Routledge Handbook of the Global Sixties is breathtaking in its range, incisive in analyses, and revolutionary in method and evidence.

Moments of Silence: Authenticity in the Cultural Expressions of the Iran - Iraq War, 1980-1988
Edited by Arta Khakpour, Mohammad Mehdi Khorrami, and Shouleh Vatanabadi
Published by NYU Press, 2016
Related to the Moments of Silence: The Authentic Literary Narratives of the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) conference convened by Mohammad Mehdi Khorrami and Shouleh Vatanabadi in March 2011
Centering on novels, films, memoirs, and poster art that gave aesthetic expression to the Iran-Iraq War, the essays gathered in this volume present multiple perspectives on the war’s most complex and underrepresented narratives.
