Book synopsis

This book explores the historiography, ports, and peoples of the Persian Gulf over the past two centuries. It seeks to clarify how the historical Gulf is different from that of the modern day, and offers a more inclusive history of the region than previously available. The volume takes a fresh approach that examines the history of the region from the viewpoint of local historians, and focuses on the internal dynamics of some important port cities. By restoring the history of minority communities which until now have been silenced, it provides a corrective to the 'official story' put forward by modern states. All the chapters break new ground and include original research not available elsewhere. It is a major contribution to the history of the region, and follows up the previous groundbreaking Palgrave Macmillan volume, The Persian Gulf in History.
