Recenzii

A pioneering work ... Anyone who wants to understand the modern Gulf should read and re-read the work and reflect on it.
This collection of 11 papers on Saudi Arabia and the five Persian Gulf states that emerged from British rule between 1961 and 1971-Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates-represents an excellent, state-of-the-art overview of their history up until independence. All essays are by leading scholars, and each offers a wealth of information on such topics as historical trade structures, mutual links, international relations, social formation, tribal identity, economic transformation, and the role of oil in the region's development. To this reviewer, two chapters stand out: one, by the editor, offers a lucid discussion of the impact of imperialism on the Gulf; the other, by Clive Holes, examines the complex issue of language and dialect, folklore, and dress of the region's peoples. Each chapter ends with a useful, up-to-date bibliographical essay of English-language scholarship. A rich volume that belongs in every research library. Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates and above.
