Third World Urbanization
Race, Space, and Riots in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles
American society has been long plagued by cycles of racial violence, most dramatically in the 1960s when hundreds of ghetto uprisings erupted across American cities. Though the larger, underlying causes of contentious race relations have remained the same, the lethality, intensity, and outcomes of these urban rebellions have varied widely. What accounts for these differences? And what lessons can be learned that might reduce the destructive effec…

The chapters in part one revise theory and methods to comprehend the economic and political institutions that increasingly dominate the lives of individuals and groups, arguing that these giants must be made more democratically accountable. Part two explores the social effects that growing globalization, transnationalization, and information technolog…

Creating a World Economy
Before European Hegemony
In this important study, Janet Abu-Lughod presents a groundbreaking reinterpretation of global economic evolution and provides a new paradigm for understanding the evolution of world systems by tracing the rise of a system that, at its peak in the opening decades of the fourteenth century, involved a vast region stretching between northwest Europe and China. Writing in a clear and lively style, Abu-Lughod explores the reasons for the eventual dec…

The Islamic city - Historic Myth, Islamic Essence, and Contemporary Relevance
At the present time of resurgence in Islamic beliefs, the question of the Islamic city has once again come to the fore. In many parts of the Arab world, and especially in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, urban planners with a new found respect for the great achievements of the past are searching for ways to reproduce in today's cities some of the patterns of city building that have been identified as Islamic. They have been influenced, whether wittingl…

Testing the Theory of Social Area Analysis
The Social Area Analysis hypothesis that at least three separate dimensions-social rank, familism and ethnicity-are required to account for observed variations in census tract populations in American cities has often been substantiated by factor analytic tests. Relatively investigated is the corollary that in societies of smaller scale intra-urban differentiation is less complex. An indirect test of this hypothesis was afforded by a factorial ana…
Migrant Adjustment to City Life
One third of Cairo's population are village migrants. Their pattern of settlement within the city is explored to reveal significant differences between types of migrants and to identify the kinds of adjustment they are called upon to make to the new physical, economic, social, and ideological requirements of city life. Certain anticipated difficulties in adjustment are found not to materialize, whereas others, often ignored by sociologists, assum…

The Legitimacy of Comparisons in Comparative Urban Studies
Tale of Two Cities
The major metropolis in almost every newly industrializing nation is not a single unified city but, in fact, two quite different cities, physically juxtaposed but architecturally and socially distinct. Many observers have noted this in non-western countries throughout the world. These dual cities have usually been a legacy from the colonial past and, while increasing national autonomy and 'nativization' are tending slowly to blend the two pattern…

Urban-Rural Differences as a Function of the Demographic Transition
Data from contemporary Egypt refute almost all the generalizations about urban-rural demographic differences that have been developed from the study of industrialized countries. However, if these deviations are viewed as functions of the temporal sequence of the demographic transition from a preindustrial to a postindustrial equilibrium, then the discrepancies revealed through cross-cultural comparisons can be reconciled and even predicted
