In recent decades, the culture, society, politics, and economics of
Bahrain have been transformed, driving its global ambitions while
retaining to a degree the rule of law and cosmopolitanism. Islam
and Capitalism in the Making of Modern Bahrain examines the
transformation of Bahrain from the 1930s, from a regional trading
port and then an important oil producer into the financial hub for
the Gulf and into a global centre of Islamic finance. It focuses on
the changes and tensions that transformation brought to Bahrain's
political, legal, economic, religious, and social structures. In
this book, Rajeswary Brown explores the rising force of youth
populism driven by the persistence of poverty and unemployment,
notably among rural Shi'ite communities and unemployed middle-class
youth, as well as examining Bahrain's skillful reconciliation of
the demands of Islamic faith, expressed in the Sharia, to the
requirements of modern financial capitalism. In this, Bahrain's
experience can be set against the modern history of much of the
rest of the Middle East, most strikingly with respect to the
position of Islamic charities, notably in Syria, comparisons of
which are fully explored here.
