Neighborhood and Boulevard: Reading through the Modern Arab City (Theory in the World)

The third volume in the groundbreaking new series "Theory in the World", Neighborhood and Boulevard combines memoir, history, anthropology, and theory to offer an innovative reflection on the materiality of culture. Through its style and content, the text challenges the Orientalist bifurcation between tradition and modernity in the Arab world, revealing instead tradition’s own dynamism and its coexistence alongside modernity.
