Grabar, Oleg. “Symbolic Appropriation of the Land.” In The Formation of Islamic Art, 45-74. New Haven: Yale
University Press, 1987. (This is a book chapter. How can you tell it is a book chapter based on the citation?)
Write a 300-word (minimum) post in first person addressing your struggle with the reading materials. Write
about what you don’t understand, or what you half-understand, or how the material connects to the previous
week, or what about the material fascinates you and why. Do write in proper English; however, do not write
anything that resembles formal writing (ex. you don’t need an introduction, conclusion, etc.)
The reading focuses on the religious and political reasons behind the construction of early Islamic architecture
through three case studies. You will need to read the book chapter several times to truly grasp the argument
and evidence provided. You will also need to use a dictionary as you read. Annotate (make notes) in the
margins to help keep all the information accessible to you.
