{"product_id":"popular-culture-in-medieval-cairo-boaz-shoshan-9780521894296","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 0521894298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521894296\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 05\/16\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.14w x 0.45d","brand":"Boaz Shoshan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47422412456191,"sku":"9780521894296","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6d9a47a-24a7-4ecc-8713-decf63156080.jpg?v=1761527694","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/popular-culture-in-medieval-cairo-boaz-shoshan-9780521894296","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
