Without question, texts from this vitally important volume should not only be read by specialists, but assigned in every introductory art historical, theological, historical, or anthropological course that even touches on Islam, for these essays are the interlocutors that can simultaneously dismantle the logic of both Islamophobia and radicalism through innumerable historical exemplars of coexistence. Within the existing body of scholarship in architectural history and urban studies, this volume expands our knowledge of the vibrant pluralism and religious and ethnic diversity of cities throughout the Islamic world, while productively obliterating the Orientalist, monolithic conception of the \"Islamic city.\" - Nancy Demerdash-Fatemi, in: H-AMCA, H-Net Reviews, April (2017)  \"... a volume beautiful enough to adorn my coffee table, yet useful enough to merit a place on my office book-shelf...
