Download or read book A History of Saudi Arabia written by Madawi al-Rasheed and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-07-11 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saudi Arabia is a wealthy and powerful country which wields influence in the West and across the Islamic world. Yet it remains a closed society. Its history in the twentieth century is dominated by the story of state formation. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Ibn Sa'ud fought a long campaign to bring together a disparate people from across the Arabian peninsula. In 1932 the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was born. Madawi al-Rasheed traces its extraordinary history from the age of emirates in the nineteenth century, through the 1990 Gulf War, to the present day. She fuses chronology with analysis, personal experience with oral histories, and draws on local and foreign documents to illuminate the social and cultural life of the Saudis. This is a rich and rewarding book which will be invaluable to students, and to all those trying to understand the enigma of Saudi Arabia.
Download or read book Arab Population 2000 written by Patricia de la Cruz and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Census 2000 measured a U.S. population of 281.4 million, including 1.2 million who reported an Arab ancestry. Arabs were 1 of 33 ancestry groups with populations over 1 million. This is the first report the U.S. Census Bureau has produced on the population of Arab ancestry. In 1997, the fed. standard for the classification of race and ethnicity was revised, noting the lack of consensus about the definition of an Arab ethnic category and suggesting that further research be done in order to improve data on this population group. This report contributes to ongoing research about people in the U.S. who identify an Arab ancestry and reflects the Census Bureau¿s consultation and collaboration with experts within the Arab community.
