It is a fascinating case study in light-speed urban development, hyperconsumerism, massive immigration, and vertiginous inequality. Its rulers have succeeded in making Dubai into a worldwide brand, publicizing its astonishing hotels and leisure opportunities while at the same time successfully downplaying its complex policies towards guest workers and suppression of dissent.In this enormously readable book, Syed Ali delves beneath the dazzling surface to analyze how-and at what cost-Dubai has achieved such success. Ali brings alive a society rigidly divided between expatriate Westerners living self-indulgent lifestyles on short-term work visas, native Emiratis who are largely passive observers and beneficiaries of what Dubai has become, and workers from the developing world who provide the manual labor and domestic service needed to keep the emirate running, often at great personal cost. 606 $aForeign workers$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited Arab Emirates$zDubayy (Emirate) 607 $aDubayy (United Arab Emirates : Emirate)$xHistory 607 $aDubayy (United Arab Emirates : Emirate)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aDubayy (United Arab Emirates : Emirate)$xPolitics and government 607 $aUnited Arab Emirates$xEmigration and immigration$xEconomic aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aForeign workers$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a953.57 700 $aAli$b Syed$0969217 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452769103321 996 $aDubai$92451815 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01789nam 2200397Ia 450 001 996385263003316 005 20221108061440.0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000608683 035 $a(EEBO)2240874110 035 $a(UnM)99900534 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000608683 100 $a19990506d1612 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 14$aThe genealogies recorded in the Sacred Scriptures$b[electronic resource] $eaccording to every family and tribe.
