{"product_id":"popular-culture-in-medieval-cairo-boaz-shoshan-9780521432092","title":"Popular Culture in Medieval Cairo","description":"This is the first book-length study of popular culture in a medieval Islamic city. Dr. Shoshan draws together a wealth of Arabic sources to explore popular religion against the background of the growing influence of Sufism, an important biography of Muhammad that was suppressed by the learned, and the origins and popular practices of the annual Nawruz festival. He also assesses the political beliefs and economic expectations of the Carene commoners and the complex relationship between the culture of the elite and that of the people of Cairo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Boaz Shoshan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 052143209X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521432092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Boaz Shoshan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422149460223,"sku":"9780521432092","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0aae1f1b-3970-4784-a8fa-35f3883e6f8e.jpg?v=1761527468","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/popular-culture-in-medieval-cairo-boaz-shoshan-9780521432092","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
