La 4e de couverture indique : "Les fouilles archéologiques entreprises par la fondation Aga Khan et l'Institut français d'archéologie orientale entre 2000 et 2009, le long de la muraille médiévale du Caire, ont révélé la présence d'un précédent rempart, bâti en briques crues, dont l'existence n'était jusqu'alors signalée que par les sources écrites. Outre le dégagement de cette enceinte, les fouilles ont permis d'exhumer des bâtiments funéraires fatimides, des structures artisanales ayyoubides, ainsi que des habitats et ateliers d'artisans mamelouks. La mise au jour de ces vestiges s'accompagne de la découverte de nombreux fragments de céramiques des époques fatimide, ayyoubide et mamelouke, en partie datés par l'analyse stratigraphique des contextes archéologiques. L'étude du matériel présenté dans ce volume permet de retracer sur plus de cinq siècles l'évolution d'un répertoire morphologique jusqu'ici peu connu. Il en ressort une grande diversité de formes et de productions glaçurées, ainsi que des spécificités propres à chacune des trois périodes chronologiques. L'étude apporte aussi un éclairage sur la vie quotidienne et sur le contexte socio-économique d'un quartier de la capitale aux époques considérées." La 4e de couverture indique : "The archaeological excavations undertaken by Aga Khan Cultural Services and the French Institute of Oriental Archeology in Cairo between 2000 and 2009 along the Ayyubid walls of Cairo, revealed an earlier mud brick rampart which, until then, had only previously been spoken of in written sources. Moreover, these excavations revealed Fatimid tombs, Ayyubid artisan structures, as well as houses and workshops from the Mamluk era. A large quantity of pottery sherds from the Fatimid, Ayyubid and Mamluk eras were also discovered and dated thanks to the stratigraphic analysis of the site. The study of the material presented in this volume shows the chronological development of the shapes of common and glazed wares over more than five centuries. It also reveals a great diversity of forms and glazing techniques as well as specific aspects of each of the periods presented. Lastly, it helps shed light on the daily life and socio-economic context of this district of the capital during the relevant periods."

In an effort to restyle Cairo into a global capital that would meet the demands of tourists and investors and to achieve President Anwar Sadat's goal to modernize the housing conditions of the urban poor, the Egyptian government relocated residents from what was deemed valuable real estate in downtown Cairo to public housing on the outskirts of the city. Based on more than two years of ethnographic fieldwork among five thousand working-class families in the neighborhood of al-Zawyia al-Hamra, this study explores how these displaced residents have dealt with the stigma of public housing, the loss of their established community networks, and the diversity of the population in the new location.Until now, few anthropologists have delivered detailed case studies on this recent phenomenon. Ghannam fills this gap in scholarship with an illuminating analysis of urban engineering of populations in Cairo. Drawing on theories of practice, the study traces the various tactics and strategies employed by members of the relocated group to appropriate and transform the state's understanding of "modernity" and hegemonic construction of space. Informed by recent theories of globalization, Ghannam also shows how the growing importance of religious identity is but one of many contradictory ways that global trajectories mold the identities of the relocated residents. Remaking the Modern is a revealing ethnography of a working class community's struggle to appropriate modern facilities and confront the alienation and the dislocation brought on by national policies and the quest to globalize Cairo.
