During the nineteenth century, Cairo witnessed one of its most
dramatic periods of transformation. Well on its way to becoming a
modern and cosmopolitan city, by the end of the century, a
'medieval' Cairo had somehow come into being. While many Europeans
in the nineteenth century viewed Cairo as a fundamentally dual
city--physically and psychically split between East/West and
modern/medieval--the contributors to the provocative collection
demonstrate that, in fact, this process of inscription was the
result of restoration practices, museology, and tourism initiated
by colonial occupiers. The first edited volume to address
nineteenth-century Cairo both in terms of its history and the
perception of its achievements, this book will be an essential text
for courses in architectural and art history dealing with the
Islamic world.
