The New Arabians
Peter Mansfield's book, The New Arabians, examines the historical, cultural, religious, and social changes experienced by the people of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Mansfield highlights how the Gulf Arab states were previously overlooked by the West until the discovery of vast oil reserves in the region. The 1973 oil embargo brought global attention to the region, yet its culture and beliefs remained poorly understood. The book depicts the rapid transformation of Arab societies from semi-nomadic to modern ones capable of competing with advanced industrial nations, without losing their traditional identities and values. This book is an important contribution to understanding the realities and dynamics of the Gulf region.
