Anyone
who
has
experienced
the
vibrant
commercial
life
of
the
suqs
or markets
of
the
Middle
East
and
North
Africa
(MENA)
region
may
be
surprised
by
the
conclusion
of
the
three
books
under
review here:
the
region remains on
the
margins
of
-
and,
indeed,
in
many
ways
is
detaching itself
from
-
the
accelerating
processes
of
globalization.
