Description

Review Rabo's choice of subject reflects a profound understanding of Syrian society, and provides a unique point of access to the contemporary condition more broadly...A Shop of One's Own contributes a richly-detailed Syrian case study to the growing body of anthropological literature on `alternative' or non-Western models of capitalism.- Christa Salamandra -- Syrian Studies Association Newsletter Product Description Groundbreaking new research on an important social group within the Middle East Based upon extensive field research Fascinating insight into one of the most dynamic regions of the Middle East Traders, bazaaris and shop-keepers constitute a very important social and economic category in the Middle East. Yet, despite their significance there have been very few empirical studies on contemporary market people in the region. A Shop of One's Own marks an important step forward in filling this gap by exploring a key merchant sector in Syria. The book is based upon extensive fieldwork carried out by Annika Rabo amongst the traders of Aleppo and sheds new light on how this politically sensitive social group views itself and others in the prevalent atmosphere of economic liberalisation and political reform following the death of Syrian President Hafez al-Asad. About the Author Annika Rabo is a researcher with the Swedish Council for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences and is Assistant Professor of Social Anthropology at Linkoping University, Sweden.
