Description

Everyday Life and Consumer Culture in Eighteenth-Century Damascus. By JAMES GREHAN. Publications on the Near East. Seattle: UNIVERSITY of WASHINGTON PRESS, 2007. Pp. xvi + 320. $50. James Grehan's important and thought-provoking publication is the first book in English to focus expressly on consumer culture and consumption patterns in the Ottoman provincial capital of Damascus during the mid-eighteenth century. More specifically. Grehan's work concentrates on a period or" thirteen years (1750-63), which corresponds to his analysis of 1,000 probate estate inventories (tarikat) registered during those years with the Ottoman law courts in Damascus, which themselves constitute the main source of primary information for his study.
