The Merton Institute Books

The nomadic life story of a polymathic icon of African modernism For more than a half century, Sudanese artist Ibrahim El-Salahi (born 1930) has been at the forefront of African modernism. A renowned artist, writer, critic and teacher, El-Salahi continues to refine his unique modernist vision, which combines and challenges Islamic, African and Western paradigms of modernism in the visual arts.In this engaging memoir, El-Salahi recalls some of the most formative experiences of his career. From Khartoum to London to São Paulo to New York to Doha, and many places in between, El-Salahi shares his wide-ranging intellectual curiosity as he seeks out significant artists and interlocutors on several continents. He introduces the reader to his encounters with figures such as the African American modernists Hale Woodruff, Jacob Lawrence and members of the Spiral Group; the legendary leader of the Nation of Islam, Elijah Muhammad; and the Mexican painter Rufino Tamayo.

"From the authors of Leadership and Self-Deception (over 2 million copies sold), this new edition has been thoroughly revised to more effectively address the equity, diversity, and inclusion challenges that plague our communities and hinder our organizations. What if conflicts at home, at work, and in the world stem from the same root cause? What if we systematically misunderstand that cause? And what if, as a result, we unwittingly perpetuate the very problems we think we are trying to solve? This book uses a fictional story to reveal a powerful truth: the underlying mindset that perpetuates conflict. This fourth edition includes revisions throughout, as well as new materials and resources, that increase its relevance and usefulness at a time of deeply entrenched divisions throughout society. It is a unique and vital resource for combatting racism and prejudice in their many manifestations. The Anatomy of Peace is the story of an Arab and a Jew, each of whom lost their fathers at the hands of each other's cousins. We learn how they come together, how they help their warring parents and children come together, and how we too can find our way out of the personal, professional, and social conflicts that weigh us down"-- Provided by publisher
