The Ethical Soundscape
Explores how a popular Islamic media form - the cassette sermon - has profoundly transformed the political geography of the Middle East. Focusing on Cairo's popular neighborhoods, this book highlights the pivotal role these tapes play in an expanding arena of Islamic argumentation and debate - what the author calls an "Islamic counterpublic."
