Description

Explore the transformative history of the Middle East with The Gulf States and Oman from the Routledge Library Editions. This historical study examines how the discovery of oil shifted the region from simple fishing and grazing economies into some of the wealthiest nations on earth. Originally published in 1977, this book provides a deep look at the impact of oil wealth on social and economic structures. It examines the tension between traditional culture and Westernisation while challenging common Western myths regarding development in the area. Readers will gain insight into the rapid progress made in education, social welfare, and urbanisation. Beyond economic shifts, the text covers industrial diversification and the changing landscape of the Gulf. With a unique collection of photographs, this book serves as a detailed record of a region undergoing massive change. It is an essential resource for those studying the social and cultural history of the Middle East.
