Description

Examine the transformative impact of oil discovery on the Gulf states in this seminal work by Routledge. Originally published in 1977, this book traces how oil wealth reshaped simple fishing and grazing economies into some of the world's wealthiest nations. The author analyses the profound clash between traditional culture and Westernisation, challenging Western misconceptions about social and economic development in the region. The book comprehensively covers economic transformation alongside progress in education, social welfare, urbanisation and industrial diversification, offering a unique collection of photographs that document this historical period. Essential reading for understanding modern Gulf history and the social consequences of rapid economic change.

Routledge's Middle East history series edition includes a unique collection of photographs documenting the region's transformation during the oil era.

The book covers comprehensive topics including education, social welfare, urbanisation and industrial diversification across Gulf states and Oman.

Originally published in 1977, this scholarly work challenges Western myths and misconceptions about social and economic progress in the Middle East region.
