This paper is an investigation of the divine feminine power as depicted in the texts of Hispanic mystics from Sufi, Hebrew, and Christian traditions. This work is intended to investigate the origin and subsequent development of a transcendent reconciliation of polarity, its diverse manifestations, and the attainment of a common goal, the quintessential of the Perfect Human Being. The architect of the encounter that leads to Union is “Sophia.” She is the Secret. Only those who are able to discern Her own immeasurable dimension may contemplate the Lady who dwells in the sacred geometry of the abyss. Sophia is linked to the hermetic Word, She is allusive, clandestine, poetic, and pregnant with symbols, gnostic resonances, and musical murmurs that conduct the “traveler” through dwellings and stations towards an ancient Sophianic knowledge that leads to the “germinal vesicle,” the “inner wine cellar,” to the Initium, to the Motherland. She is the Mater filius sapientae, who through an alchemical transmutation becomes a song to the absent Sophia whose Presence can only be intuited. Present throughout the Creation, Sophia is the axis around which the poetics of the Taryuman al-ashwaq rotates and the kabbalistic Tree of Life is structured.

The Creation

In this chapter, Kathleen Chater, an independent historian, enumerates many of the local history projects and academic efforts that have attempted to collect evidence of black lives in pre-twentieth-century Britain, often resulting in the creation of databases and digitized records. She describes the overlapping incentives and challenges of family historians and scholars who work to illuminate black British experiences, but also the mistrust between these groups as they compete for funding and undervalue aspects of each other’s work. Chater describes her own contribution to this field of study—a database of black people she has amassed using public records as part of her doctorate which she has continued to add to. Finally, Chater makes recommendations for how genealogists and local historians can work better with academic scholars toward their common goal including inviting each other to conferences, sharing knowledge of potential funding sources, and asking academics to share their work at smaller, local venues and via more accessible publications.

Religious Claim

In some ways, Zionism is legitimate and persuasive, but in other ways it has undermined the possibilities of Israeli peace with the Arab world. The argument that the history of murderous anti-Semitism, culminating in the Holocaust, justified the creation of a Jewish state, somewhere, was strong. However, the arguments that the Jews had an eternal right to Palestine were weak. The religious claim that God gave Palestine to the Jews is challenged by Christian and Islamic counterclaims. The argument that 2,000 years ago the Jews were predominant in Palestine until they were driven out by the Romans has long been shown by archaeologists and historians to have little foundation. Even if true, it would be irrelevant to establishing a convincing claim for exclusive Jewish sovereignty today. Likewise, the Balfour Declaration and the League of Nations Mandate to Britain, the basis for the Zionist claims based on modern history, were simply colonialist impositions.

This chapter investigates the first of three external challenges which defined Jewish life in western Europe in the late 1940s and 1950s. This was the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. For the first time in modern history, Jews could choose whether or not to live in the diaspora. There were hundreds of survivors in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands who were convinced that they had no future in Europe and migrated to Palestine as soon as they could. Those who chose not to were now forced to think more seriously about their decision to remain in western Europe. Zionist stalwarts, in particular, were challenged to reassess their role now that the Jewish state was a reality. What resulted was a transformation in collective and personal behaviour and attitudes that largely strengthened collective Jewish identity and commitment.

Islamic Leadership

Female Islamic leadership in Morocco is marked by male patronage and fragmentation. Women in leadership positions—in the religious, political or economic realm—rise and remain dependent on male power. This article focuses on the religious/political arena where leading women do not pursue a common goal, but have varying understandings of gender justice or equality. Various developments in Morocco point to the creation of a middle ground for female activism between Western secularism and Islamism. Such developments can easily be overlooked when more radical voices gain the spotlight and generate media controversy.

This well-researched book is a welcome contribution to the study of the Druzes, one of the most under-studied religious groups in the Middle East. The main objective of this book is to trace the historical development of the Druzes in Israel since the creation of the Jewish state in 1948 to the present, and to show that Druze ethnicity was and still is an instrument in the hands of the Israeli government officials and the Druze elite. This book also attempts to show how the Zionists used Druze ethnicity and ethnic issues to pursue their policy aims of alienating the Druzes from other Arabs. In this work, the author, a professor at the University of Haifa, revisits an area he knows well and has already presented in a previous book, A History of the Druzes.

Social capital (SC) has been understood as a set of relationships among structures inherent in the society. These social structures seek a common goal for the greatest number of people. The main purpose of this research is to study how social capital can be generated through the three components of the Working With People model: technical-entrepreneurial; ethical-social and political-contextual. This research is based on a Program developed in seventeen municipalities of Avila, a Spanish province in the northern Spanish plateau. The Program is called "Young Entrepreneurs for Sustainability in Rural Areas", promoted by Tatiana Perez de Guzman el Bueno Foundation and carried out by Gesplan Group from the Technical University of Madrid. This Program consists on launching innovative projects in the territory focused on promoting partnerships among the population and to develop the territory through economic initiatives. The aim of these actions is to strengthen relationships between institutions and the population. This is possible by the creation of synergies among the entrepreneurial projects in order to get endogenous development.

Legal Opinion

In The Legality of a Jewish State, the author traces the diplomatic history that led to the partition of Palestine in 1948 and the creation of Israel as a state. He argues that the fate of Palestine was not determined on the basis of principle, but by the failure of legality. In focusing on the lawyer-diplomats who pressed for and against a Jewish state at the United Nations, he offers an explanation of the effort in 1947-48 by Arab states at the UN to gain a legal opinion from the International Court of Justice about partition and the declaration of a Jewish state. Their arguments at that time may surprise a twenty-first-century reader, touching on issues that are still at the heart of the contemporary conflict in the Middle East.
