Beschreibung

"Timur Hammond's reimagining of Eyüp is lively and erudite, bringing readers a fresh understanding of the spaces and tempos in Istanbul as a place of Islam. The result is thrilling: a story of Islam and placemaking that is at once intricately grounded and expansively illuminating."--Anna J. Secor, Professor of Geography, Durham University

"An impressive ethnographic and textual work. Hammond provides new insight into the inner workings of a sacred site and pilgrimage center, making this a valuable contribution to the literature on urban anthropology and lived Islam."--M. Brett Wilson, Director of the Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies and Associate Professor of History and Public Policy at Central European University
