The book first gives a brief overview of day-to-day life in the Dhofar region of southern Oman, then focuses on how the traits of self-control and self-respect are linked in the everyday actions of several groups of tribes who speak Gibali (Jibbali, also known as Shari/Śḥeret), a non-written, Modern South Arabian language. Although no work can express the totality of a culture, this text describes how Gibalis are constantly shifting between preserving autonomy and signaling membership in family, tribal, and national communities. The work reflects observations and conclusions from over ten years of research into the history and culture of the Dhofar region along with longstanding, deep involvement with both men and women in the Gibali community.EthnologyEthnographyEthnology—Middle East Social Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12030Ethnographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12060Cultural Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411060Middle Eastern Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411110Ethnology.Ethnography.Ethnology—Middle East .Social Anthropology.Ethnography.Cultural Anthropology.Middle Eastern Culture.953.53953.53Risse Marielleauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061569BOOK9910337716203321Community and Autonomy in Southern Oman2519238UNINA
