Reading the Islamic City offers insights into the implications the
practices of the Maliki school of Islamic law have for the
inhabitants of the Islamic city, the madinah. The problematic term
madinah fundamentally indicates a phenomenon of building, dwelling,
and urban settlement patterns that evolved after the 7th century CE
in the Maghrib (North Africa) and al-Andalusia (Spain). Madinah
involves multiple contexts that have socio-religious functions and
symbolic connotations related to the faith and practice of Islam,
and can be viewed in terms of a number of critiques such as
everyday lives, boundaries, utopias, and dystopias. The book
considers Foucault's power/knowledge matrix as it applies to an
erudite cadre of scholars and legal judgments in the realm of
architecture and urbanism. It acknowledges the specificity of
power/knowledge insofar as it provides a dominant framework to
tackle property rights, custom, noise, privacy, and a host of other
subjects. Scholars of urban studies, religion, history, and
geography will greatly benefit from this vivid analysis of the
relevance of the juridico-discursive practice of Maliki Law in a
set of productive or formative discourses in the Islamic city.
