Rezensionen

"Any volume on Cairo is invariably an ambitious undertaking. AlSayyad's ambition is well realized in this impressive, multi-faceted collection that does justice to the city's rich texture of places, peoples, and pasts. It deals with a real and imagined city, in ways that foreground its ever-changing character and draw the reader into a dense mix of ancient and modern, materiality and the intangible, and the grand and the intimate. Aside from its obvious scholarship, what really stands out in this book is the passion its contributors share for Cairo."
