In this volume, the city of Algiers serves as a case study for the analysis of the proactive and reactive social, political, technical, and artistic forces that generate a city's form. Visual sources - prints, photographs, paintings, architectural drawings, urban designs, and film - are treated as primary evidence that complements and even challenges textual documents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors' wide-ranging but intersecting essays span the disciplines of art history, social and cultural history, urban studies, and film history. \u003ci\u003eWalls of Algiers\u003c\/i\u003e presents a multifaceted look at the social use of urban space in a North African city. Its contributors' innovative methodologies allow important insights into often overlooked aspects of life in a city whose name even today conjures up enchantment as well as incomprehensible violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors include Julia Clancy-Smith, Omar Carlier, Frances Terpak, Zeynep Celik, Eric Breitbart, Isabelle Grangaud, and Patricia M.
