My question to you is whether you could give us permission to include your article “Ukraine Muslims are awry of Russian invasion” (published in Siasat Daily (on March 5, 2022) in our sourcebook.
Dr. Dennis explains; “A working group coordinated by me at the University of Leipzig intends to publish texts that appeared in daily and weekly newspapers, online journals, blogs, academic journals, and political and cultural magazines between Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 24, 2022 and the Donald Trump’s election victory in November 2024.
“The book intends to discuss the impact of the war against Ukraine on the reinterpretation of globality, i.e. personal and collective situatedness in global contexts, global interdependencies, trans-regional (i.e. religious) solidarities, but also global power imbalances about economic resources or resources of knowledge production.”
“The working title of the collection is ‘Rethinking Globality in Times of War on Ukraine.’ The selected texts, some being translated, will be presented in various thematic chapters, introduced by a short editorial note and where necessary supplemented by a few explanatory footnotes.”
