Description
Explore the dramatic evolution of one of the world's most historic cities in Transforming Damascus: Space and Modernity in an Islamic City. This volume, part of the Library of Middle East History, examines the profound shifts that occurred between 1860 and 1918. During this period, Damascus transitioned from a provincial Ottoman capital tied to Islamic pilgrimage routes into a central seat of Arab nationalism and a modern state capital. Leila Hudson provides a detailed look at how the city's identity and physical space changed within just a few generations. Readers will learn how a city once defined by its relationship to holy places in the Arabian Hijaz and its legacy of Islamic knowledge transformed into a hub for new political movements. This book is an essential resource for those interested in the social and cultural history of the Middle East and the processes of urbanization and modernization in the late Ottoman era.
