'In every generation, the terrorists become more violent. Julie Rajan's Al Qaeda's Global Crisis is the first book on the third generation of the contemporary wave of terrorism. Defying Al Qaeda, the rise of the Islamic State is analysed by Rajan's outstanding account of the ideological and operational dimensions of the current and emerging global threat. This masterful study should be read by all those concerned with international security.' -- Rohan Gunaratna, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
'Julie Rajan details how the genocide of Muslims has been the main cause of instability in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria and the key driver of civil wars in the region. The killing of Muslim civilians by AQ backed takfiris has been ignored by other analysts who have almost exclusively focused on violence directed against the West. This timely and fascinating book charts the rise of the Islamic State, demonstrating the generational effects as well as well as how the Islamic State is posing an increasing challenge to the larger al Qaeda network. A must-read for anyone interested in the spread of radical Islamism, why rape is used a strategy of war, and better understand how Iraq became such a disaster.' -- Mia Bloom, University of Massachusetts, Lowell, USA
‘The practice of takfir - declaring other Muslims as infidels - is a central fault line in the global jihadi movement. Yet, the topic is often overlooked in existing literature on al-Qaida. Rajan’s book provides a comprehensive overview of how the killing of Muslims at the hands of al-Qaida's regional affiliates since 2001 has undermined the network's long-term sustainability. The book is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand the rise and fall of al-Qaida and likeminded movements.’ --Anne Stenersen, Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, Norway
'Rajan (women's and gender studies, Rutgers Univ.,) takes on the formidable task of explaining how the Islamic concept of takfir is relevant to ongoing conflicts throughout the Muslim world especially in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Syria.... The book is well researched, drawing on primary material and academic and other sources, and it provides solid background for the aforementioned conflicts' --S. Cantey, Washington and Lee University, CHOICE recommended

"Difference has become a significant concern of the study of international politics and also in peace and conflict studies. Yet, approaches to understanding or incorporating issues of difference into the analysis of international order have often tended to come to rest on essentialising notions of ethnicity or other forms of identity, which also are relegated to a state of lesser importance than westernised notions of secular citizenship, cosmopolitan toleration, and free-flowing capital. This important book engages with the difficult and necessary task of envisioning peace-with-difference in international politics. Without advances in this area, as Professor Behr outlines, difference is destined to undermine order when instead it might be constitutive of peace."Prof. Oliver Richmond, University of Manchester, UK

"Hartmut Behr makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the fundamental problems centering around our conventional concept of peace. With the help of phenomenological, anti-essentialist thinkers, he reveals that the concept of peace, as deployed in the Western tradition of political and philosophical thought as well as in international politics, is a hegemonic and imperial concept that suppresses and assimilates difference, thus effacing otherness for the sake of the self. He eloquently invites us on a thrilling but serious journey towards reconceptualizing a non-hegemonic peace that is hospitable to difference."Takashi Kibe, Professor of Political Theory and Director of the Peace Research Institute, International Christian University, Tokyo, Japan

"Philosophically grounded, Politics of Difference not only produces one of the most compelling critiques of 'imperial peace' and its genealogies, but offers with sustained intellectual vigour an original discourse on the ontology of our times. It is truly a tour de force."Mustapha Kamal Pasha, Chair in International Politics, Aberystwyth University, UK

"A book that brings the profound relevance of what has long been overlooked into clear focus."Gunther Kress (1940–2019), Professor of Semiotics and Education, University College London, UK"In this volume, Lim demonstrates the power of a systemic view on multimodality to not only examine embodied teaching, but to show semiotic resources can be best utilized in concert for effective pedagogy."Thomas Martin Amundrud, Associate Professor, English Education, Nara University of Education, Japan
"Lim has produced a book that any ELT teacher, curriculum specialist, or educational researcher would be well served to include in his or her library as a reference and practical guide or as a key text on embodied teaching."Sheida Mezban, review in Multimodal Communication
"[This book] would be a useful starting point and source of reference for teachers who are looking to deepen their understanding of multimodal communication and digital communicative technologies within the context of teaching and learning [...] a useful text for groups of teachers collaborating in teams for professional development in this area."Dr. Jonathon Adams, English Language Institute of Singapore (ELIS), MOE
"This book greatly contributes to our knowledge about classroom teaching, teacher training, and policymaking. We believe it will also be a fine reference book in many research areas related to teaching, such as educational semiotics, multimodality, and particularly systemic functional multimodal discourse analysis."Xiaolan Wei and Xueyan Yang, review in Language and Education, DOI: 10.1080/09500782.2021.1889580
"[This book] provides both research insights and practical tips for literacy educators to engage 21st century students in the language lessons."Dr Willy Renandya, Principal Lecturer, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University
"This book demonstrates the author’s academic interests and extensive knowledge in educational semiotics, embodied teaching, and multimodal resources… a useful resource for educational researchers, policymakers, administrator and curriculum specialists to design learning suitable to students."

'It is satisfying to have the opportunity to read a book where the voice and experience of the author is central to the narrative and yet so finely balanced with the voices of the researched. Sanders manages here to maintain this balance throughout the book, simultaneously providing the reader with a rich and deep ethnographic research project and a well-constructed narrative of youth offending. This can be considered a valuable contribution to the methodology of youth research as well as criminological and sociological understandings of youth culture and youth crime.' - Peter Rogers, University of Manchester
'Avibrant empirical research project, one which I feel is a valuable addition to any literature collection on youth culture and youth crime and has more to offer in the wider understanding of case study research as both a strategy and method.'
- Sociology, Book Reviews

"Despite the length of the book, it is very readable. It questions perceptions of youth crime in the inner city and makes some timely suggestions as to what might be done to reduce, in particular, drug and acquisitive crime" Judith Mortimore, Thames View Sept 08'
