Kuwait, unlike most of its neighbours, has a well-established
national identity and a long history as a nation, dating back to
the eighteenth century. In this book, first published in 1992, Dr.
Jill Crystal focuses on two recurring themes in Kuwaiti history:
one, the preservation of a sense of community in the face of
radical economic, social and political transformations; the second,
internal rivalry over the conventions governing relations among
members of the community. Crystal skilfully weaves these themes
into a broad profile of Kuwait, analysing the nation's
transformation from a pre-oil to an oil economy; its social
structure and composition, including the country's tribal roots and
key divisions involving class, gender and immigrant labour;
political tensions resulting from the nation's sudden wealth and
the accompanying changes in social structure; and its relations
with other countries in the Gulf and the Middle East.
