The Arabian identity that we convey here comprises both a fabulous Arabia that has haunted the European imagination for the past three hundred years and a real Arabia that has had its unique history, culture, and traditions outside the Orientalized narratives of the West. All Things Arabia aims to dispel existing stereotypes and to stimulate new thinking about an area whose patterns of trade and cosmopolitanism have pollinated the world with lasting myths, knowledge, and things of beauty. Readership: Scholars interested in the study of the material culture of the Middle East/Arabian Peninsula and the wider public interested in the cultures of collection, connoisseurship, and (neo)orientalism(s) at large. 410 0$aArts and archaeology of the Islamic world. 606 $aCivilization 606 $aEthnology 606 $aMaterial culture 607 $aArabian Peninsula$xCivilization 610 $aMiddle Eastern history 615 0$aCivilization. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aMaterial culture. 676 $a306.0953 700 $aBaird$b Ileana$4edt$01152415 702 $aBaird$b Ileana Popa 702 $aYag?c?og?lu$b Hu?lya 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476894203321 996 $aAll Things Arabia$93399058 997 $aUNINA
