Beschreibung
Camel Trading Norms explores how camel trading shaped the economic and social structures of desert communities. It highlights the camel's multifaceted role, not just as transport but also as a currency and vital resource, impacting family dynamics and social roles. The book argues that camel trading spurred economic exchange and influenced social hierarchies, challenging views of desert societies as isolated.
The book begins by examining camel domestication and physiology, then delves into trade routes, analyzing the risks and rewards faced by camel caravans.
In addition, it analyzes the social structures built around camel trading, emphasizing the division of labor within families and contrasting the roles of men in long-distance trade with women's contributions to local markets.
Using trade records, travelers’ accounts, and anthropological studies, Camel Trading Norms offers a comprehensive view of economic activities and social norms in these unique historical contexts.
