Rapid and uneven change to the fabric of rural life is widespread
in modern Middle Eastern countries. Modernisation, usually in the
Western model, has often brought major improvements in agricultural
technology, education and public health but has also had the effect
of weakening the traditional rural economy of many villages and
encouraging their growing dependence on external sources of income,
most notably oil remittances. This collection of research on the
Middle Eastern village looks at the impact on rural life and
environment of such factors as the mass exodus of labour to urban
centres, emigration, immigration, environmental change and the
changing role of women in rural communities - particularly the
wives of migrant workers who have to fill a new role in the family
structure. State-sponsored agrarian policies have weakened the
power of traditional landed interests and together with labour
migration have provoked new tension and inequalities in rural
society. The book makes clear that the pattern of change has been
highly uneven and has served to heterogenise the countryside. As
the oil states enter a period of recession and the likelihood of
substantial return migration increases, rural communities will need
to make further major adjustments and the book examines the
tensions this new development is likely to produce. First published
in 1987.
