The discovery and subsequent exploitation of oil allowed tribal rulers of the U.A.E, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait to dream big. How could fishermen, pearl divers and pastoral nomads catch up with the rest of the modernized world? Even today, society is skeptical about the clash between the modern and the archaic in the Gulf. But could tribal and modern be intertwined rather than mutually exclusive? Exploring everything from fantasy architecture to neo-tribal sports and from Emirati dress codes to neo-Bedouin poetry contests, Tribal Modern explodes the idea that the tribal is primitive and argues instead that it is an elite, exclusive, racist, and modern instrument for branding new nations and shaping Gulf citizenship and identity-an image used for projecting prestige at home and power abroad. 606 $aEthnology$zPersian Gulf States 607 $aPersian Gulf States$xSocial life and customs 610 $a20th century history. 610 $a20th century world history. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aarab gulf. 610 $abahrain. 610 $adiscovery of oil. 610 $aelitism. 610 $aemirati dress codes. 610 $agender and race. 610 $agender studies. 610 $agender. 610 $agulf citizenship. 610 $agulf identity. 610 $aheritage. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ainternational relations. 610 $akuwait. 610 $amiddle east. 610 $amiddle eastern history. 610 $amodernized world. 610 $anational identity. 610 $anatural resources. 610 $aneo bedouin poetry. 610 $aneo tribal sports. 610 $aoil. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apower. 610 $aqatar. 610 $aracism. 610 $aracist. 610 $asociety. 610 $atribal rulers. 610 $auae. 610 $aunited arab emirates. 610 $awealth and power. 615 0$aEthnology 676 $a306.09536 686 $aHIS026000$aHIS000000$aSOC032000$2bisacsh 700 $aCooke$b Miriam$0658450 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807956303321 996 $aTribal modern$94020537 997 $aUNINA
