The Middle Eastern bazaar is much more than a context for commerce:
the studies in this book illustrate that markets, regardless of
their location, scale, and permanency, have also played important
cultural roles within their societies, reflecting historical
evolution, industrial development, social and political conditions,
urban morphology, and architectural functions. This
interdisciplinary volume explores the dynamics of the bazaar with a
number of case studies from Cairo, Damascus, Aleppo, Nablus, Bursa,
Istanbul, Sana'a, Kabul, Tehran, and Yazd. Although they share some
contextual and functional characteristics, each bazaar has its own
unique and fascinating history, traditions, cultural practices, and
structure. One of the most intriguing aspects revealed in this
volume is the thread of continuity from past to present exhibited
by the bazaar as a forum where a society meets and intermingles in
the practice of goods exchange--a social and cultural ritual that
is as old as human history.
