The Complete Muhammad Ali
No full textIncluding material and photographs not included in most of the 100 other books about the champion, Ishmael Reed's The Complete Muhammad Ali is more than just a biography-it is a fascinating portrait of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. An honest, balanced portrayal of Ali, the book includes voices that have been omitted from other books. It charts Ali's evolution from Black Nationalism to a universalism, but does not discount the Nation of Islam and Black Nationalism's important influence on his intellectual development. Filipino American author Emil Guillermo speaks about how "The Thrilla' In Manila" brought the Philippines into the 20th century. Fans of Muhammad Ali, boxing fans, and those interested in modern African American history and the Nation of Islam will be fascinated by this biography by an accomplished American author.Intro -- DEDICATION -- INTRODUCTION -- The Curious History of an Icon -- CHAPTER 1 -- CHAPTER 2 -- CHAPTER 3 -- CHAPTER 4 -- CHAPTER 5 -- CHAPTER 6 -- CHAPTER 7 -- Did the Secret Government Fear a U.S. Muslim/Overseas Muslim Alliance? -- CHAPTER 8 -- CHAPTER 9 -- The Break Between the Prophet and his Disciple -- CHAPTER 10 -- CHAPTER 11 -- CHAPTER 12 -- The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time): Ali or Louis? -- CHAPTER 13 -- The Nation of Islam, the Mob, Showdowns in Canada and Sonny Liston -- CHAPTER 14 -- CHAPTER 15 -- The Taunts: Marketing or Racism? -- CHAPTER 16 -- CHAPTER 17 -- CHAPTER 18 -- CHAPTER 19 -- Boxing and the Brain -- CHAPTER 20 -- Ali's Feet -- CHAPTER 21 -- Mr. Dick -- CHAPTER 22 -- CHAPTER 23 -- The Opening Ceremonies, November 2005 -- CHAPTER 24 -- December 2005, Las Vegas -- CHAPTER 25 -- CHAPTER 26 -- June 16, 2004 -- CHAPTER 27 -- CHAPTER 28 -- CHAPTER 29 -- Aix-en-Provence -- CHAPTER 30 -- Ali as a Black Nationalist -- San Francisco, January 2004 Black Liberation Book Fair -- CHAPTER 31 -- January 31, 2004 -- CHAPTER 32 -- October 2005, Chicago -- CHAPTER 33 -- Why Ali remained with Elijah instead of following Malcolm -- CHAPTER 34 -- CHAPTER 35 -- February 4, 2006, Oakland, California -- CHAPTER 36 -- Like Zeus Descending from Mount Olympus -- CHAPTER 37 -- CHAPTER 38 -- Tuesday, February 28, 2006, New York -- CHAPTER 39 -- Bigger Than Boxing -- CHAPTER 40 -- Tribes Gallery, New York, April 2006 -- CHAPTER 41 -- June 2006, Louisville, Kentucky -- CHAPTER 42 -- CHAPTER 43 -- CHAPTER 45 -- Bad Company -- CHAPTER 46 -- Coxson, A Very Charming Rogue -- CHAPTER 47 -- Ali and the largest embezzlement scheme in Wells Fargo history -- CHAPTER 48 -- CHAPTER 49 -- "Lonnie is a stabilizing force."-Harry Belafonte -- October 29, 2006 -- CHAPTER 50 -- Abdul Rahman -- CHAPTER 51 -- CHAPTER 52 -- CHAPTER 53How Will Ali Be Remembered?

Syriac-Arabic Glosses of Isho bar Ali. Volume 2
No full textThese two volumes constitute the second part (nun-taw) of the Syriac-Arabic dictionary of the 10th cent. physician Isho bar Ali (the first half of the dictionary had been published in 1874 by G. Hoffmann). Each Syriac word is defined in Arabic, often with more than one Arabic equivalent; in addition, the author deals not just with individual Syriac words, but in some cases with phrases. Gottheil used 21 manuscripts (from Oxford, London, Paris, Berlin, Leiden, and Rome) for this edition, and he has supplied a thorough critical apparatus; the manuscripts are described in the introduction. While some manuscripts give the Arabic glosses in Syriac characters (i.e. Garshuni), Gottheil has presented them here in Arabic script. These two volumes will be of great interest to Syriac lexicographers and those who study interactions between Syriac and Arabic.Contains an English introduction by Richard J.H. Gotthei

In Memory of Dr. Ali Al-Gritly (1913-1982): His Views on Egypt's experience with Socialism
No full textThis essay reexamines the great contributions made by Dr. Ali Al-Gritly to Egypt. He
was the finance minister for a short period at the beginning of the 1950s and later was appointed as
chairman of the Bank of Alexandria.
In 1966, he completed a book (Al-Gritly [1966 (1974)]) on the economic history of Egypt. However,
the book was banned from publication due to irresistible circumstances. At that time, with Arab
Socialism on the ascendance, his views on certain policies were not welcomed by the top political
hierarchy. In 1974, the book was finally allowed to be published, and he wrote and published
another book in 1977 (Al-Gritly [1977]) on the development of the Open Door Policy and the new
economic policies accompanying it.Egypt, Economic history, Economic policy, Socialism, Al-Grity, Ali, Socialist transformation, Family planning, Democratic socialism
Rozwój funkcjonalny spójnika ali w językach słowiańskich
No full textThe aim of this paper is to form a hypothesis regarding the functional development of the conjunction ali in Slavic languages. The conjunction is derived from the Proto-Slavic compound *a li, which introduced a rhetorical question in Old Church Slavonic. It has appeared in several languages and has served a variety of functions, such as adversative, disjunctive, mirative, introducing conditionals. The hypothesis assumes the existence of two branches of its functional development, one of which is initiated by the use in rhetorical questions, which could have been later interpreted as adversative sentences. The paper analyses word uses in the oldest texts of selected Slavic languages: Serbo-Croatian, Old Polish and East Slavic languages. The methodology is based on the achievements of modern theoretical and typological linguistics, the functional-typological approach to coordination relations and the theory of semantic maps.Celem podjętym w artykule jest sformułowanie hipotezy rozwoju funkcjonalnego spójnika ali w językach słowiańskich wywodzącego się od poświadczonego w języku staro-cerkiewno-słowiańskim prasłowiańskiego złożenia *a li wprowadzającego pytanie retoryczne. Wyraz był później używany w funkcjach adwersatywnej, dysjunktywnej, miratywnej, wprowadzającej zdania warunkowe. Hipoteza zakłada istnienie dwóch odnóg rozwoju funkcjonalnego, z których jedna jest zapoczątkowana użyciem w pytaniach retorycznych, które to mogły być interpretowane jako zdania przeciwstawne. W artykule zostały przeanalizowane użycia wyrazu w najstarszych tekstach wybranych języków słowiańskich: serbochorwackiego, staropolskiego oraz języków wschodniosłowiańskich. Metodologia opiera się na dorobku współczesnego językoznawstwa teoretycznego i typologicznego, podejściu funkcjonalno-typologicznym do relacji w koordynacji i teorii map semantycznych
Literary quantum entanglement : Ali Smith's "How to be both"
No full textArtykuł omawia "How to Be Both" - powieść współczesnej brytyjskiej pisarki Ali Smith. Autorka dowodzi, że dwie równorzędne wersje książki stanowią materialną metaforę nie tylko obu opowieści w niej zawartych, ale i narracji symultanicznej.The article discusses Ali Smith's novel "How th Be Both" (2014). The author argues that two versions of the printed book constitute a material metaphor not only for the two stories contained in it, but also for simultaneity of the narratives
Czy jesteśmy tu razem? Polaryzacja społeczeństwa brytyjskiego i marginalizacja Inności w tetralogii Ali Smith inspirowanej porami roku
No full textAli Smith’s seasonal quartet—Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer—was written and published at lightning speed, between the 2016 Brexit referendum and Britain’s effective departure from the EU in 2020. The article examines how the novels engage with the issue of Brexit, as they become the chronicle of a grinding cultural process and critically confront the transformation of the British nation. I survey various psychological factors related to the polarisation of the British nation and investigate Smith’s presentation of the way in which the populist propaganda of menace produced by the right-wing media leads to marginalising Otherness. Employing the nomadic theory of the subject developed by Rosi Braidotti, I analyse Smith’s literary strategies used to represent not only post-truth manipulation and institutionalised British xenophobia, but also the actions of people who resist them.Tetralogia Ali Smith inspirowana porami roku – Jesień, Zima, Wiosna, Lato – została napisana i opublikowana w ekspresowym tempie, pomiędzy referendum w sprawie Brexitu w 2016 roku a ostatecznym opuszczeniem UE przez Wielką Brytanię w roku 2020. Artykuł analizuje sposoby literackiego przedstawienia brexitu w powieściach Smith, skupiając się na wyznacznikach ukazanego przez pisarkę niepokojącego procesu kulturowego oraz drastycznych zmianach zachodzących w brytyjskim społeczeństwie. W tekście dokonuję przeglądu czynników psychologicznych powodujących polaryzację narodu brytyjskiego oraz badam, w jaki sposób proza Smith ukazuje wpływ populistycznej propagandy zagrożenia na marginalizację Inności. Wykorzystując nomadyczną teorię podmiotu sformułowaną przez Rosi Braidotti, omawiam strategie literackie wykorzystane przez autorkę do ukazania zarówno manipulacyjnego potencjału postprawdy i zinstytucjonalizowanej brytyjskiej ksenofobii, jak i działań osób, które się im przeciwstawiają

The 'Internal Tree:' Arboreal Symbols in Ali Smith's Autumn
No full textFollowing the publishing of Autumn (2016), Scottish author Ali Smith has received both international acclaim as well as negative reviews for it supposedly being a collage of seemingly unrelated subjects. This paper challenges such a view by providing insight into one of its hidden meanings – the arboreal symbols – paying attention to the concept of 'Internal Tree' as coined by J.R.R. Tolkien and which resembles the way in which other well-known authors including Smith have explored the topics of authorship and and literature. I will study the origins of these symbols as a trope and examine how the 'Internal Tree' allows authors' development and connection with past, present and future writers while remaining attached to their roots. Both aspects will be briefly traced from the work of Classical authors, the Bible and Anglophone literature, and analysed in Ali Smith's Autumn and a number of her previous works
