Content:
"This book investigates the history of Arabian Suqs from their Pre-Islamic beginnings until present. Collecting evidence from archaeological ruins, Islamic towns, modern cities, Arabic poetry, philosophical debates, political conflicts, puppet shows and the insights of modern-day market goers, the book presents new and unforeseen interpretations about the Arabian Suq's meaning and its transformation through time and place. The finding that such meaning is tied to some ancient trade rituals, where temple and market presented a holistic socio-urban unit, re-questions some instrumental assumptions regarding the value of Suq ness in Arabia's everyday practices. Such finding, which locates the fadaa or tareeq duality as a central theme in Arabia's socio-urban discourse, emphasizes the importance of lived experiences and poetics as key sources for understanding socio-urban phenomena"--
