Hammam Rehabilitation Reader

Hammam Rehabilitation Reader

DUMREICHER, Heidi & LEVINE, Richard S. & SIBLEY-BEHLOUL, Magda
Sonderzahl, 2013.

The topic of this reader is highly interdisciplinary - and highly controversial. The hammam, this urban convivial space, is found from Morocco all the way down the Silk road and up to the small village of Bo Ai in the Chinese province of Henan: Every region, every country, every urban neighbourhood will give it special features, and yet it is part of the collective memory of dwellers and scientists throughout the Muslim world.

We hope that our reader contains ideas and analysis that further promote the awareness for the value of the hammam; and in the best case, it may be a contribution for the revival  of this great cultural attainment.
