- Translation (forthcoming): The Constitutional Crisis in Islamic Civilization, Mohamed El-Moctar El-Shinqiti. Kube Publishing, 2026. This translation of a probing examination of power and politics in Islamic texts, Islamic history, and Muslim current affairs preserves the nuance of the Arabic original while making it accessible to the English reader.
- Translation: The Fruits of the Struggle in Diplomacy and War: Moroccan Ambassador al-Ghazzāl and His Diplomatic Retinue in Eighteenth-Century Andalusia. Ed. & intro. Travis Landry. Lewisburg, PA: Bucknell UP, 2016. This is the first full English translation of the 1766 Moroccan embassy travelogue Natījat al-ijtihād fī al-muhādana wa-al jihād, based on a critical consolidation of multiple manuscripts. It offers a look into the mind of an 18th century Muslim notable traveling in the former Andalusia.
