Cultivating The Past, Living The Modern: The Politics Of Time In The Sultanate Of Oman (Paperback)

Centered in Muscat and Nizwa, the book analyzes the relations with the past that undergird the shift in Oman from an Ibadi shari'a Imamate (1913-1958) to a modern nation state from 1970 onwards. Key locales and objects become sites for tracking transformations in forms of history, religious and political authority--
