There is widespread concern today about the “radicalization” of young muslim men, and the deprived areas of Western cities are believed to have become breeding grounds of home-grown extremism. But how do young Muslims growing up in the cities of the West really live? This book takes us beyond the rhetoric and into the housing estates on the outskirts of Paris to meet Adama, Radouane, Hassan, Tarik, Marley, and a shadowy figure whose name suddenly and brutally became known to the world at the time of the Charlie Hebdo shootings: Amédy Coulibaly. Seeing Amédy through the eyes of close friends and other young Muslim men in the neighbourhoods where they grew up, Fabien Truong uncovers a network of competing loyalties and maps the road these youths take to resolve the conflicts they face: becoming Muslim. For these young men, Islam stands, often alone, as a resource, a gateway – as if it were the last route to “escape” without betrayal and to “fight” in a meaningful and noble way. Becoming Muslim does not necessarily lead to the radicalized “other”. It is more like a long-distance race, a powerful reconversion of the self that allows for introspection and change. But it can also lead to a belligerent presentation of the self that transforms a dead-end into a call to arms.

For contextual therapists, contextually oriented pastoral counselors and their students, this is a longawaited textbook on the approach founded by Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, one of the pioneers of family therapy which has been updated with a new terminology and new explanations in a highly understandable language. For readers coming from the field of individual therapy, couple and family therapy of any school, and for practitioners in the field of health and human services, this book can open new ways of thinking and new strategies to address many of the situations they are likely to encounter. The book offers answers to questions such as: How to help children and families who have been affected by the multigenerational consequences of relational and systemic injustices or by violence? How to help teens who display antisocial behaviors to re-engage positively in society? How to help individuals to balance their loyalty to their family with their own personal aspirations? How to help groups to discover that group loyalty does not have to be an obstacle to intergroup solidarity? In addition, in a format never tried before, this book includes a discussion of the contributions of contextual therapy to practical theology and the pastoral process. It also shows the relevance of the approach for interreligious studies and interfaith encounters in a world that is increasingly diverse and polarized. Conversely, it spells out what contextual therapists and other practitioners can learn from these fields. Professionals who abide by secularism or adhere to non‑Christian religious and spiritual practices may be taken by surprise but they will quickly discover that this book and the inspiration offered by the pastoral process and interfaith studies for the revitalization of relationships can bring a lot to any reader who believes in shared universal human values.

Something has changed. After the horrors of World War II, people everywhere believed that it could never happen again, but today the evidence is unmistakable that anti-Semitism is dramatically on the rise once more. The torching of European synagogues, suicide terror in Israel, the relentless comparison of the Israelis to Nazis, the paranoid post–September 11 Internet-bred conspiracy theories, the Holocaust-denial literature spreading throughout the Arab world, the calumny and violence erupting on American college campuses: Suddenly, a new anti-Semitism has become widespread, even acceptable to some. In this chilling and important new book, Ron Rosenbaum, author of the highly praised Explaining Hitler, brings together a collection of powerful essays about the origin and nature of the new anti-Semitism. Paul Berman, Marie Brenner, David Brooks, Harold Evans, Todd Gitlin, Jeffrey Goldberg, Bernard Lewis, David Mamet, Amos Oz, Cynthia Ozick, Frank Rich, Jonathan Rosen, Edward Said, Judith Shulevitz, Lawrence Summers, Jeffrey Toobin, and Robert Wistrich are among the distinguished writers and intellectuals who grapple with painful questions: Why now? What is—or isn’t—new? Is a second Holocaust possible, this time in the Middle East? How does anti-Semitism differ from anti-Zionism? These are issues too dangerous to ignore, too pressing to deny. Those Who Forget the Past is an essential volume for understanding the new bigotry of the twenty-first century.

Fred Cervin believed that the relation of the human species to the natural world is in a state of crisis, and that this crisis has both a practical and a spiritual dimension. The pragmatic and the spiritual are typically thought to operate on separate planes, but in Fred's vision they are seamlessly blended, as expressed in the poetry and prose gathered in this volume.
