Description

Explore the complex urban landscapes of the pre-modern Islamic world through this inter-disciplinary academic volume. Published by Routledge as part of the SOAS Studies on the Middle East series, this book brings together recent research from architectural historians, textual historians, and archaeologists to provide new perspectives on urban life. Rather than debating the existence of a specific "Islamic city" model, this work examines how religion influenced the physical structure of cities and the daily lives of people living within them. It moves past old debates to look at the actual impact of religion, state, and society on urban environments. This volume is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in how social and religious structures shaped the physical world of historical Middle Eastern cities.
