This book offers a multidisciplinary approach to the medina, the
traditional walled Arab city of North Africa. The medina becomes a
concrete case study for comparative explorations of general
questions about the social use of urban space by opening up fields
of research at the intersection of history, comparative cultural
studies, architecture and anthropology. Essays by American,
European and North African scholars demonstrate a variety of
sources and theoretical approaches now being used in writing
historical narratives framed within the city space. They shed light
on recent studies by anthropologists regarding social praxis within
the urban context, and analyze the urban experience of the medina
and the casbah as they are represented in visual and material
culture.
