The Merchant of Syria: A History of Survival
Diana Darke
Tells the life of Abu Chaker, a cloth merchant from Homs who lived from 1921 to 2013. Drawing on interviews conducted in Syria, Lebanon and Britain, Abu Chaker’s story exemplifies many of today’s pressing global issues – poverty, Islamic values, religious co-existence, refugees, displacement, multiculturalism, political unrest and terrorism.
