Download or read book Kuwait written by Frank Clements and published by Oxford, England : Clio Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Kuwait was the home of a prosperous people, dependent largely on trading, pearling and fishing. The country successfully maintained independence from the Ottomans and other powers through the help of close treaty relations with Britain. The first oil concessions in 1934 and the development of the oil industry transformed the country's character and future, a structure later altered by the Gulf War. This bibliography covers all aspects of Kuwait's history and cultural heritage, and the country's significance in both the Gulf and the world arena. Particular attention is paid to the oil industry and the invasion of Kuwait and the Gulf War.

Book Shaikhdoms of Eastern Arabia

Download or read book Shaikhdoms of Eastern Arabia written by P. Lienhardt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-03-20 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering study captures the traditional social, economic and political systems of the Arab sheikhdoms of the Gulf. It represents a unique and in-depth insight into the complex and varied cultural patterns of the Arabs, Persians and the people of the East African Coast in the 1950s, before the advent of oil wealth radically altered the style of life and expectations of the people living in these sheikdoms. In a compelling narrative Lienhardt discusses the tribal structure, relations between men and women, the economics of pearl fishing, the growth of towns and the complex relationship between the ruling sheikhs and their subjects. His findings offer a key to the understanding of the political system and the transition from the tribal to the class system. Specialists on the Gulf and Middle East, social historians and anthropologists will find a wealth of new evidence and analysis in this invaluable and accessible combination of history and anthropology.
