The purpose of this book is to draw attention to the sites of life, politics and culture where current and past generations of the Islamic world have made their mark. Unlike many previous volumes dealing with the city in the Islamic world, this one has been expanded not only to include snapshots of historical fabric, but also to deal with the transformation of this fabric into modern and contemporary urban entities.
Salma Khadra Jayyusi was awarded Cultural Personality of the Year by the Sheikh Zayed Book Award for her profound contribution to Arabic literature and culture in 2020. The paperback edition of The City in the Islamic World was published to celebrate the occasion.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"While her acclaimed edited collection on al-Andalus (The Legacy of Muslim Spain, 2 vols. [Brill, 1992]) remains significant, Salma Jayyusi has surpassed that earlier work with The City in the Islamic World in both scope and ambition. ...this work is a valuable addition and a major contribution to our understanding of the city in Islamic civilization."
Muzaffar Iqbal in Islam & Science 10.2 (2010).
"Without a doubt, this collection of 46 original articles will become the authoritative work on the city in the Islamic world."
