The pasha’s secretary said that the mayor was busy. Professor Geertz responded that he understood and that he would be happy to wait until the pasha was free. He then sat down and waited patiently.1  \nSefrou, Morocco, 1987: The town of Sefrou organized a symposium celebrating the work of Clifford Geertz. A banner announcing the event was strung over the main street of the Ville Nouvelle, lectures were delivered in the riad (small palace), which had been built by a ruler in the late nineteenth century, andfestive meals andperformances took place in various locations over several days.

The story of Geertz’s deferential behavior is ofa piece with stories that used to be told of Prince Muhammad VI (now king) who, so it goes, once pulled into a gas station and actually paid for his fuel (rather than demanding it for free, in line with his status as a royal personage) or who allowed a woman driver to pass ahead even when he had the right of way and could have asserted his noble prerogative. For both prince and professor, humility and respect were taken as signs of admirable character.  \nThe second vignet","cbCaivWdiHhxWm4K","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivWdiHhxWm4K","pdf",4302922,271,"English","# Introduction\n## On Sefrou: the market in context\n## Transcription note\n# Sūq: the bazaar economy in Sefrou\n## Notes\n## Annexes\n## Index","[{\"question\":\"What is the central focus of this volume?\",\"answer\":\"The volume centers on Geertz’s analysis of the bazaar economy in Sefrou, presented in “Sūq: The Bazaar Economy in Sefrou.”\"},{\"question\":\"Who edited and introduced the work?\",\"answer\":\"Lawrence Rosen edited and introduced the volume.\"},{\"question\":\"Where in the book are the supporting materials and references located?\",\"answer\":\"The book provides notes and annexes after the main section, followed by an index.\"}]","Sūq - Geertz on the Market | PDF",1790860422,417]
