Two of those -- Techniques and Civilization (first published in 1934), and The Culture of Cities (first published in 1938) -- were written by Lewis Mumford. They made an urbanist out of me, and I was not alone. Single-handedly, Mumford's writings placed cities on the agenda of ordinary Americans.}}</ref> ==Academia== [[File:Archaic globalization.svg|thumb|left|The 13th century world-system. Map based on Janet Abu-Lughod's work.]] Janet Abu-Lughod holds graduate degrees from the [[University of Chicago]] and [[University of Massachusetts Amherst]]. Her teaching career began at the [[University of Illinois]], took her to the [[American University in Cairo]], [[Smith College]], and [[Northwestern University]], where she taught for twenty years and directed several urban studies programmes. In 1987 she accepted a professorship in sociology and historical studies at the Graduate Faculty of the [[New School for Social Research]], from which she retired as professor emerita in 1998.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.getcited.org/mbrx/PT/2/MBR/11058404|title=Getcited - Janet Abu-Lughot|accessdate=2009-08-31}}</ref> She has published over a hundred articles and thirteen books dealing with urban sociology, the history and dynamics of the World System, and Middle Eastern cities, including an urban history of [[Cairo]] that is still considered one of the classic works on that city: ''Cairo: 1001 Years of the City Victorious''. In 1976 she was awarded a John Guggenheim Memoral Fellowship for Sociology <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gf.org/fellows/33-janet-l-abu-lughod|title=Guggenheim Fellowships|accessdate=2009-08-31}}</ref> She is especially famous for her monograph ''[[Before European Hegemony: The World System A.D. 1250-1350]]'' where she argues that a pre-modern world system extending across Eurasia existed in the 13th Century, prior to the formation of the modern world-system identified by [[Immanuel Wallerstein]]. In addition, she argues that the "rise of the West," beginning with the intrusion of armed Portuguese ships into the relatively peaceful trade networks of the Indian Ocean in the 16th century, was not a result of features internal to Europe, but was made possible by a collapse in the previous world system. More recently, she had published several well-received works on American cities including ''New York, Chicago, Los Angeles: America's Global Cities'' and ''Race, Space, and Riots in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles''. ==Works== * {{cite book |title= Cairo: 1001 Years of the City Victorious|last= Abu-Lughod|first=Janet |authorlink= |coauthors= |year=1971 |publisher= [[Princeton University Press]]|location= |isbn= 978-0-691-03085-2|page= |pages=284 |url= |accessdate=}} * {{cite book |title= Race, Space, and Riots in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles|last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= 2007|publisher= Oxford University Press|location= USA|isbn= 978-0-19-532875-2|page= |pages=360 |url= |accessdate=}} * {{cite book |title= New York, Chicago, Los Angeles: America's Global Cities|last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= 2000|publisher= University of Minnesota Press|location= |isbn= 978-0-8166-3336-4|page= |pages= 580|url= |accessdate=}} * {{cite book |title= Before European Hegemony: The World System A.D. 1250-1350|last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= 1991|publisher= Oxford University Press|location= USA |isbn= 978-0-19-506774-3|page= |pages= 464|url= |accessdate=}} * {{cite book |title= Changing Cities: Urban Sociology|last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= 1991|publisher= Harpercollins College Div|location= |isbn= 978-0-06-040138-2|page= |pages= 441|url= |accessdate=}} * {{cite book |title= Rabat, Urban Apartheid in Morocco|last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= 1981|publisher= Princeton University Press|series= Princeton Studies on the Near East|location= |isbn= 978-0-691-10098-2|page= |pages= 374|url= |accessdate=}} ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Authority control|VIAF=218455590}} {{Persondata | NAME = Abu-Lughod, Janet | ALTERNATIVE NAMES = | SHORT DESCRIPTION = American historian | DATE OF BIRTH = 1928 | PLACE OF BIRTH = | DATE OF DEATH = | PLACE OF DEATH = }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Abu-Lughod, Janet}} [[Category:American sociologists]] [[Category:American historians]] [[Category:University of Chicago alumni]] [[Category:University of Massachusetts Amherst alumni]] [[Category:University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign faculty]] [[Category:American University in Cairo faculty]] [[Category:Smith College faculty]] [[Category:Northwestern University faculty]] [[Category:World system scholars]] [[Category:1928 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:American women academics]] [[Category:Guggenheim Fellows]]'
