Exchange in the Mamluk Sultanate Economic and Cultural

This volume gathers seven essays selected from those presented at the Third Conference of the School of Mamluk Studies (Chicago, 2016), whose theme was "Exchange in the Mamluk Sultanate: Economic and Cultural". The act of exchanging one thing for another is ubiquitous in the history of all societies. It is found at all levels of commerce, from the local market to international trade, but it is not limited to economic matters. The aim of this conference was to explore acts of exchange in commerce but also in diplomatics, social and power relationships, and various other aspects of Mamluk society.
