Professor Watenpaugh explores urban history of Aleppo in new article

Professor Heghnar Watenpaugh has contributed an article to the recently published book Ordering Imperial Worlds: From Late Medieval Spain to the Modern Middle East edited by Susan Slyomovics. Watenpaugh’s article “Islamic City, Colonial City, Refugee City: Urban Histories of Aleppo during ‘the French Mandate’” explores the meaning and significance of the writings of three scholars who wrote multi-volume urban histories of Aleppo, Syria. She asks “what was at stake in writing urban history at that juncture?” and “why did these scholars seize upon urban history as their medium?” 

Ordering Imperial Worlds: From Late Medieval Spain to the Modern Middle East is available from Edinburgh University Press.
