Publisher Synopsis
"Grehan breaks new ground in Middle Eastern historiography. There is no work that deals in detail, and also with depth and insight, with consumer culture in the Middle East like Grahan's work. This work is a truly pioneering effort in this field." Adbuk-Karim Rafeq, The College of William and Mary and author of The Province of Damascus "An extraordinarily well-researched and well-written work that promises to make a unique contribution in Middle Eastern Studies. Grehan presents a very engaging picture of how the residents of Damascus lived in the eighteenth century." Resat Kasaba, University of Washington and author of The Ottoman Empire and the World Economy: The Nineteenth Century Read more...
