Extract

Janet Abu-Lughod has indeed performed a service to students of urbanization in her genuinely illuminating and exceptionally readable article on the evolution of Cairo's European “transplant” up to the 20th century. The article must be evaluated in terms of the case study it was intended to be, but it may be in order to add some remarks on the types of phenomena illustrated by this specific case.
