Reviews

This collection of 11 papers from the ninth Savannah Symposium: The Architecture of Trade covers a wide variety of geographies and time periods. Haughey provides the introduction and the first chapter, which looks at colonialism and capitalism. The most effective essays-among them Nasser Rabbat's Cities of Incense and Myrrh: Fantasy and Capitalism in the Arabian Gulf -blend the two elements, exploring how the physical environment and Native cultures intersected to create structures uniquely suited to both their settings and their functions. --L. M. Bliss, San Diego State University
