When darkness falls this residential neighbourhood turns into a space for entertainment, pleasure and business. This chapter explores this effervescence of the forbidden (haram) in the context of a town in which public life is dominantly framed by Islam. It shows how the evolution of Texas by night reveals the centrality of urban margins for their implicit function of making possible the cohabitation of various lifestyles. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/298 dcterms:provenance London bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1468 bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1468 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1862 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1868 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315171715-7 10.4324/9781315171715-7 --
