Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Covering a period from the late eighteenth century to today, this volume explores the phenomenon of urban violence in order to unveil general developments and historical specificities in a variety of Middle Eastern contexts. By situating incidents in particular processes and conflicts, the case studies seek to counter notions of a violent Middle East in order to foster a new understanding of violence beyond that of a meaningless and destructive social and political act. Contributions explore processes sparked by the transition from empires -- Ottoman and Qajar, but also European -- to the formation of nation states, and the resulting changes in cityscapes throughout the region.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
