Synopsis

Long before European exploration, vibrant trade networks flourished worldwide. Precolonial Trade sheds light on these largely unacknowledged indigenous economic systems. These systems involved complex trade routes and diverse goods, challenging Eurocentric views of global economic history. For instance, archaeological findings reveal sophisticated trade beads and pottery, while oral histories and early writings help trace the movement of goods and ideas across continents.

 
The book examines precolonial trade routes and economic systems in regions like the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. It highlights the diverse forms of currency, credit, and social organization that governed trade in different regions. By focusing on indigenous traders' perspectives, the book offers a unique perspective on global economic history.

 
Beginning with an introduction to the theoretical framework, the book progresses through regional case studies, each chapter examining unique trade routes and goods. The conclusion synthesizes findings, comparing different regions and highlighting the lasting legacy of precolonial trade on contemporary societies.

Downtown Juárez - Underworlds of...

Howard Campbell

At least 200,000 people have died in Mexico's so-called drug war, and the worst suffering has been in Ciudad Juárez, across the border from El Paso, Texas. How did it get so bad? After three decades studying that question, Howard Campbell doesn't believe there is any one answer. Misguided policies, corruption, criminality, and the borderland economy are all factors. But none of these reasons explain how violence in downtown Juárez has become heartbreakingly "normal." 
 
 
 
A rigorous yet moving account, Downtown Juárez is informed by the sex workers, addicts, hustlers, bar owners, human smugglers, migrants, and down-and-out workers struggling to survive in an underworld where horrifying abuses have come to seem like the natural way of things. Even as Juárez's elite northeast section thrives on the profits of multinational corporations, and law-abiding citizens across the city mobilize against crime and official malfeasance, downtown's cantinas, barrios, and brothels are tyrannized by misery. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
