Comparative perspectives on (pre)colonial transformations of urban public space (Monika Baumanova).This book offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the precolonial to colonial transition in an urban context, by focusing on the changing distribution, character and role of public spaces and buildings. The volume focuses on three case study regions: East African coast, North-West Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula. The regions are selected to provide a novel perspective on the socio-spatial impact of colonialism on the public life of urban settlements, driven by different political forces, in different geographical contexts and time periods. The three study areas are also linked by sharing several features of urban lifestyle such as the role of trade and the influence of religion, Islam in particular. The intertwined influence of socio-spatial urban characteristics on public life is presented on a range of case studies selected from Africa and southern Europe. The approaches are rooted in archaeological thinking on the built environment as material culture and incorporate critical interpretation of ethnographies and historical accounts on both the precolonial and colonial eras. This volume is of interest to archaeologists and researchers working in urban history, anthropology, and heritage.Contributions To Global Historical ArchaeologyArchaeologySociology, UrbanCities and townsHistoryCultural propertyArchaeologyUrban SociologyUrban HistoryArchaeology and HeritageArchaeology.Sociology, Urban.Cities and townsHistory.Cultural property.Archaeology.Urban Sociology.Urban History.Archaeology and Heritage.307.76Baumanova Monika1258745Pechota JanKřížek DanielMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910595040103321Urban Public Space in Colonial Transformations2916786UNINA
