This book, first published in 1979, was the first political and
social history of Qatar. Its main thrust is to provide the reader
with a description and identification of the processes and forces
that have contributed to change and continuity in Qatari society. A
concise and relevant history of the country from the latter part of
the eighteenth century when the Utub settled Zubarah to the present
day is provided. Emphasis is placed not only on Qatar's internal
development, but also on its critical relationship with Bahrain and
Saudi Arabia, its closest neighbours, and with Britain. The study
then proceeds to determine the inner logic of the Qatari political
and social structure, and how it has evolved over the years. It is
shown how the same society that exhibited great fortitude in the
face of economic and political hardship could have an equally great
capacity to adapt to new levels of prosperity.
