Shipped but Not Sold

In the early decades of the eighteenth century, Yemen hosted a bustling community of merchants who sailed to the southern Arabian Peninsula, seeking and offering a range of commodities, both luxury and mundane. In Shipped but Not Sold, Nancy Um opens the chests these merchants transported to and from Yemen and examines the cargo holds of their boats to reveal the goods held within.

In primele decenii ale secolului al XVIII-lea, Yemen a gazduit o comunitate agitata de negustori care au navigat in sudul Peninsulei Arabe, cautand si oferind o gama larga de marfuri, atat de lux, cat si banale. In Transportat, dar nu vandut, Nancy Um deschide cufarurile pe care acesti comercianti le-au transportat in si din Yemen si examineaza calele de marfa ale barcilor lor pentru a dezvalui marfurile detinute in interior.
