Caravans in Socio-Cultural Perspective - Past and Present: Persis B. Clarkson, Calogero M. Santoro Caravans in Socio-Cultural Perspective - Past and Present
Persis B. Clarkson, Calogero M. Santoro
R1,290 Discovery Miles 12 900 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Ranging across space and time, this book brings together up-to-date research on the socio-cultural phenomenon of caravans. It shows that caravans for long-distance trade in arid lands are present in both the Old and New Worlds. Alongside historical and archival records, ethnographic analyses of modern caravans provide theoretical frameworks for reconstructing aspects of ancient caravans such as behaviour, ritual and material culture. The volume reflects on the changing foci of caravan research and the future of caravans, when memories of living caravaners are fading, and the fragile and remote nature of caravan-related sites means that they are at risk. It will be relevant to scholars from anthropology, archaeology and history and others with an interest in trade, travel and nomadism.

Caravans in Global Perspective - Contexts and Boundaries (Hardcover): Persis B. Clarkson, Calogero M. Santoro Caravans in Global Perspective - Contexts and Boundaries (Hardcover)
Persis B. Clarkson, Calogero M. Santoro
R4,152 Discovery Miles 41 520 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book provides a fresh and unique global perspective on the study of caravans by bringing together a wealth of up-to-date research that explores the similarities and divergences of caravan lifeways in Africa, Eurasia, the Near East, Southwest Asia, Mesoamerica, and the Andes. The volume presents theoretical frameworks for caravan assessment and intercultural caravan crossings, pushing the boundaries of caravan route history and archaeology to consider the emergence, evolution, maintenance, and adaptations of caravans. Drawing from anthropological, archaeological, historical, geographical, economic, social, political, and art historical perspectives, the volume will be attractive to scholars of these disciplines and beyond who are interested in social issues embedded on trade, travel, and nomadism. .
