Krátky popis
A major new history of Saudi Arabia, from its eighteenth-century
origins to the present day &,nbsp, Saudi Arabia is one of the
wealthiest countries in the world, a major player on the
international stage and the site of Islam’s two holiest cities. It
is also one of the world’s only absolute monarchies. How did Saudi
Arabia get to where it is today? &,nbsp, In this comprehensive
account, David Commins narrates the full history of Saudi Arabia
from oasis emirate to present-day attempts to leap to a
post-petroleum economy.Moving through the ages, Commins traces how
the Saud dynasty’s reliance on sectarianism, foreign expertise, and
petroleum to stabilize power has unintentionally spawned secular
and religious movements seeking accountability and justice. He
incorporates the experiences of activists, women, religious
minorities, Bedouin, and expatriate workers as the country
transformed from subsistence agrarian life to urban consumer
society. &,nbsp, This is a perceptive portrait of Saudi
Arabia’s complex and evolving story—and a country that is all too
easily misunderstood.
