The ideal introduction to the history of modern Oman from the
eighteenth century to the present, this book combines the most
recent scholarship on Omani history with insights drawn from a
close analysis of the politics and international relations of
contemporary Oman. Jeremy Jones and Nicholas Ridout offer a
distinctive new approach to Omani history, building on postcolonial
thought and integrating the study of politics and culture. The book
addresses key topics including Oman's historical cosmopolitanism,
the distinctive role of Omani Islam in the country's social and
political life, Oman's role in the global economy of the nineteenth
century, insurrection and revolution in the twentieth century, the
role of Sultan Qaboos in the era of oil and Oman's unique regional
and diplomatic perspective on contemporary issues.
