Overview
This timely volume brings together the work of scholars from both the Middle East and the West who reflect on both the process of globalism and on the traditions of Gulf society and culture, and discuss how these trends interact within the global system. "Fox, Mourtada-Sabbah, and Mutawa--respectively, professors of anthropology, political science, and sociology at the American University of Sharjah in the UAE--have assembled an interesting set of essays on how the ex-Trucial Coast states have managed to globalize while impressively preserving local traditions." -- from review in Middle East Quarterly
