The Gulf sits at an ancient crossroads of cultures and faiths, and
at the heart of modern trade stretching back to the origins of
civilization. As a site of both conflict and peaceful encounter, it
can be studied in the context of world history, as a place of
cultural and historical encounter. From medieval astrology to
museum architecture, from the trade of glass and pearls to the role
of Indians, Africans, Christian monks, Mandaeans and merchants,
this book spans historical periods and disciplinary approaches. It
is united by one overarching theme: the Gulf as a cosmopolitan
nexus and space of encounter. The chapters describe a Gulf
simultaneously perched on the edge of empires and at the centre of
world events. Presenting new evidence, new theoretical approaches,
and new arguments, this volume aims to change understandings of the
Gulf in the world.
