While the term has achieved common usage, no one
studying the region has yet addressed whether thisconceptualization has real meaning - and thenarticulated what and where the Middle East is, or is not.

Alexandria in 1880 was an immigrant boomtown
ruled by dozens of overlapping regimes. On its streets
and in its police stations and courtrooms, people wereidentified by name, occupation, place of origin, sect,
physical description, and other attributes. Yet by 1914,
before nationalist calls for independence anddecolonization had become widespread, nationality had
become the defining category of identification, andnationality laws came to govern Alexandria's population.

medieval Islamic theologian al-Ghazali (d.1111), and Said
Nursi (d.1960), arguably one of the most important
modern theologians in the Islamic spiritual tradition.
Discussing both historical and contemporary dimensionsof Islamic spirituality allows the author to groundclassical Sufi texts in contemporary ideas and practices.

face: how to make sense of the spatial layeredness of thepast. He argues that the modern world's ultimate sociospatial feature was not the oft-studied processes ofglobalization or state formation or urbanization. Rather,
it was fast-paced, mutually transformativeintertwinements of cities, regions, states, and global
circuits, a bundle of processes he calls transpatialization.
