The Rural Marketing System of Egypt over the Last Three Hundred Years
Studies of local markets have come to attract much interest of late in the anthropological and geographical literature. However, while a fair amount of work has been done on rural and periodic markets in the Middle East and some on North Africa, no serious research has been done in Egypt. Yet Egyptian weekly markets have been around for a very long time, and they continue to play an important role in the local and national economy today, despite …
Local‐national integration in Tunisia
The Middle East and North Africa have often been conceptualized as a 'mosaic', that is, as a whole made up of many differentiated and particularistic parts.

This is particularly the case in cou…
The Status of Women in a Tunisian Village
Tunisian kin ties reconsidered
