Sommario/riassunto

Transnational Connections and the Arab Gulf presents a study of transnational cultural flows in the Gulf region and beyond. It combines



an understanding of the region's historical connections with the outside world and an assessment of contemporary consequences of these connections.  The contributors collected here analyze and map historical and contemporary manifestations of transnational networks within this region, linking them to wider debates on society, identity and political culture.
