Contemporary historiography of the period of Said's rule (1932-1970) views Oman as medieval and isolationist; Qabus' later government is seen as progressive and enlightened, with his ascendancy to the throne often described as the 'rebirth of Oman' from its 'medieval slumber' into a thriving and prosperous Sultanate. This study refutes the prevailing view that Said's four-decade reign should be perceived as a place where time stood still. The author offers a critical look at the economic, political, social and cultural aspects of Oman during the reign of Said bin Taymur. The book mainly focuses on tribe-state relations, emphasizing their dynamic interaction, with particular attention paid to the relationships between the tribal groups. Uzi Rabi's book reinterprets a significant timescale in the modern history of the Arabian Peninsula and pre-oil societies, and will be essential reading for both students and scholars of Middle Eastern history, culture and society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46868883964055,"sku":"9781845194734","price":6353.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781845194734.webp?v=1769991457","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-emergence-of-states-in-a-tribal-society-oman-under-said-bin-taymur-1932-1970-9781845194734","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
