Memory and race at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights
Opening in late 2014, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) bills itself as the only museum in the world solely devoted to human rights with the goal of reframing Canadian history through the lens of human rights ideology. The Museum both celebrates and complicates the human rights legacy of Canada and Canadians. Located in Winnipeg and created as a joint partnership between the Asper foundation, the Canadian government, the Province of Man…
The urban grid and entangled planning cultures in Senegal
In Western (Eurocentric) research traditions of urban and planning histories, sub-Saharan Africa is generally denied an urban past, an urban settlement design culture, and especially an indigenous practice of grid planning. It is against this historiographic background that indigenous grid pattern settlements in Senegal are analysed, with relation to the gridded tradition of colonial settlement design. In light of both cultural sensitivities inhe…
The Last Civilized Place
Fans of Sijilmasa can rejoice. At last, an entire book devoted to that fabled city, a city which looms large in the historical imagination but whose physical reality has been, until now, a challenge to understand. How many academics, Africanists, Orientalists and Medievalists can precisely locate Sijilmasa, let alone describe its configuration? Yet, in its heyday Sijilmasa and its dromedary caravans were as important to the trade of the Sahara as…
Legacies of a Contested Campus
The postwar urban renewal experience varied among US cities according to the result of local social contests pitting those imposing their power to transform urban space against those resisting it. In this paper, we examine the role of one such contest in shaping urban renewal outcomes in Denver, using the case of the late 1960s Auraria project. The project sought to remove a poor, Hispanic neighborhood in order to build a new downtown college cam…

Globalising Touba
The Muslim holy city of Touba, self-defined ‘capital’ of the Murid Sufi order in Senegal, is increasingly thriving on its global connectedness. This article situates the phenomenon of Touba’s globalisation within current literature on the global city and world city networks. It assesses four of the processes through which the holy city’s values and structures are diffusing across the global North. First, the universality of Touba in Murid histori…
Sufi City
Touba
Touba au Sénégal est la métropole spirituelle de la confrérie islamique des Mourides. Cette ville sainte, qui compte aujourd'hui 300 000 âmes, fut établie dans la forêt sauvage par Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba Mbacké en 1887. L'article traite de ce phénomène d'une ville sainte moderne par l'analyse spatiale. Il s'agit d'abord de décerner la signification spirituelle, cosmologique, et idéologique de la ville en examinant le contenu semiotique de sa topogr…
