Reviews

“A highly scholarly and perceptive book about a complicated, enigmatic dynasty: the Fatimids. The author explains the meaning of early Fatimid architecture in Tunisia and Egypt by probing their sectarian identity and bid for political legitimacy.”—D. Fairchild Ruggles, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

“This book offers a new reading of Fatimid architecture and urbanism, using texts, archaeology, and monuments to explore artistic creation—and destruction—against a backdrop of contested medieval religious identities and the negotiation of sectarian differences.”—Glaire Anderson, University of Edinburgh
