The beautiful, powerful, and wise Cordova, -"the City of Cities," "the Pearl of the West," "the Bride of Andalus," as the Arabian poets have variously named it, - the ancient capital of Islamic Spain, is still one of the most curious and fascinating monuments of this singularly interesting country. Much water has flowed under the sixteen arches of the bridge which spans the Guadalquivir since "Cordova was to Andalus what the head is to the body, or what the breast is to the loin"; the Moorish city of the thirty suburbs and three thousand mosques, whose fame once obscured the glory of ancient Damascus, is no longer the centre of European culture. "The brightest splendour of the world" has been lost in centuries of neglect and decay, and the new light of a modern civilisation has not shone upon the remains of its mediaeval grandeur. But the Cordova of the great Khalif is still the most African city in Spain; its mosque remains to give us a clearer and fuller idea of the power and magnificence of the Moors than anything else in the Peninsula, not excepting even the Alhambra; and in its narrow, uneven streets and mysterious, silent patios in the gold and crimson of its fragrant gardens, the student and the artist may find unending interest and enchantment.

Excerpt from Cordova: A City of the Moors IT would be unnecessary to enlarge upon the reasons for including a study of Cordova in this series of Spanish Handbooks: indeed a series of this description would be incomplete without it. The beautiful, powerful, and wise Cordova, the City of Cities, ' 'the Pearl of the West, ' 'the Bride of Andalus, ' as the Arabian poets have variously named it, - the ancient capital of Mohammedan Spain, is still one of the most curious and fascinating monuments of this singularly interesting country.

Conflicts in cities that have particular religious significance often become intense, protracted, and violent. Why are holy cities so frequently contested, and how can these conflicts be mediated and resolved? In Power, Piety, and People, Michael Dumper explores the causes and consequences of contemporary conflicts in holy cities. He explains how common features of holy cities, such as powerful and autonomous religious hierarchies, income from religious endowments, the presence of sacred sites, and the performance of ritual activities that affect other communities, can combine to create tension. Power, Piety, and People offers five case studies of important disputes, beginning with Jerusalem, often seen as the paradigmatic example of a holy city in conflict. Dumper also discusses Córdoba, where the Islamic history of its Mosque-Cathedral poses challenges to the control exercised by the Roman Catholic Church; Banaras, where competing Muslim and Hindu claims to sacred sites threaten the fragile equilibrium that exists in the city; Lhasa, where the Communist Party of China severely restricts the ancient practice of Tibetan Buddhism; and George Town in Malaysia, a rare example of a city with many different religious communities whose leaders have successfully managed intergroup conflicts. Applying the lessons drawn from these cities to a broader global urban landscape, this book offers scholars and policy makers new insights into a pervasive category of conflict that often appears intractable.
