Download or read book Globalization before Its Time written by Chhaya Goswami and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the Kachchhi traders build on the Gujarat Advantage? In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, during the dying days of the Mughal empire, merchants from Kachchh established a flourishing overseas trade. Building on a rich legacy of free trade in pre-modern times between the many ports of Gujarat and the Middle East, the Kachchhis dealt in pearls, dates, spices and ivory with the faraway lands of Muscat and Zanzibar. The Kachchhi merchants behaved much like today’s venture capitalists. They knew how to grow capital, seek new markets, and create them where they didn’t exist. They also had a phenomenal risk appetite. What they were able to practise was nothing less than the traits of globalization before its time. This new book in The Story of Indian Business series tells their fascinating story.

Download or read book The United States and the Gulf written by Joseph Wright Twinam and published by Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research. This book was released on 1997-10-11 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Twinam offers an intriguing historical analysis of Washington's deep-rooted relationships with the GCC states and pre-revolutionary Iran. On a positive note, the development of US interests in GCC states has been truly remarkable. But among the Gulf littoral countries, only a quarter of the people live in GCC states. The overwhelming majority are in two countries with which American relations are wretched and prospects for their improvement are bleak. Twinam stresses that the uncertain future of Iraq certainly raises an enormous question mark over the future of American relations with the Gulf. Iran, in Twinam's opinion, is perhaps more predictable since the theocracy appears fully entrenched. The result of the May 1997 elections raised the hope that Iranians may come to enjoy somewhat more tolerant leadership, although the author believes it offers no serious encouragement for improved US-Iranian relations. Moreover, Twinam believes that anti-Americanism has become so deeply entrenched in Iran's relatively young population that it may remain part of the political psyche for decades to come.

Download or read book Black Morocco written by Chouki El Hamel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Morocco: A History of Slavery, Race, and Islam chronicles the experiences, identity and achievements of enslaved black people in Morocco from the sixteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century. Chouki El Hamel argues that we cannot rely solely on Islamic ideology as the key to explain social relations and particularly the history of black slavery in the Muslim world, for this viewpoint yields an inaccurate historical record of the people, institutions and social practices of slavery in Northwest Africa. El Hamel focuses on black Moroccans' collective experience beginning with their enslavement to serve as the loyal army of the Sultan Isma'il. By the time the Sultan died in 1727, they had become a political force, making and unmaking rulers well into the nineteenth century. The emphasis on the political history of the black army is augmented by a close examination of the continuity of black Moroccan identity through the musical and cultural practices of the Gnawa.

Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary work emphasizes the maritime dimensions of Oman's past, as both archeologists and historians delve into a variety of sources to unearth its rich history. It explores Oman's long and enduring relationship with the sea, which has had a profound impact on its history. The inhabitants of Oman who sailed to Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley in the Bronze Age helped initiate the beginnings of long-distance maritime commerce. The frankincense trade that flourished in the Iron Age connected Oman with the larger western Indian Ocean and Greco-Roman worlds. With the coming of Islam, Oman became part of a much larger series of Islamic maritime networks that extended from East Africa to China, sailing across the seas carrying peoples, goods, and ideas. European maritime incursions such as the Portuguese invasions eventually fostered maritime trade with Europe, and the establishment of the Ya'rubid and Al Bu Sa'id maritime empires increased interaction with East Africa and later the Atlantic world. In the modern period, Oman has made the transition from a traditional economy to a modern maritime system. In addition, the work addresses the diverse forms of watercraft and navigational practices utilized by Omanis to venture out into the sea. Collectively, it shows that the sea is intimately tied to Oman's history.

Download or read book Culture and Customs of Kenya written by Neal W. Sobania and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-06-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenya, a land of safaris, wild animals, and Maasai warriors, perfectly represents Africa for many Westerners. This peerless single-source book presents the contemporary reality of life in Kenya, an important East-African nation that has served as a crossroads for peoples and cultures from Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia for centuries. As such, it is a land rich in cultural and ethnic diversity, where unique and dynamic traditions blend with modern influences. Students and general readers will be engrossed in narrative overviews highlighting Kenyan history, as well as the beliefs, vibrant cultural expressions, and various lifestyles and roles of the Kenyan population. A chronology, glossary, and numerous photos enhance the narrative. Kenya today struggles with nation building. Its society comprises the haves and the have-nots and faces the challenges of the trend toward urbanization, with its attendant disruption of traditional social structures. For Kenyans, the preserving of traditional cultures is as important as making the statement that Kenya is a modern nation. Chapters on the land, people, and history; religion and worldview; literature, film, and media; art and architecture; cuisine and traditional dress; gender roles, marriage, and family; and social customs and lifestyle are up to date and written by a country expert. A chronology, glossary, and numerous photos enhance the narrative.

Download or read book Authoritarian Power And State Formation In Ba`thist Syria written by Raymond A Hinnebusch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social and economic forces that worked together to bring the Ba'thist party to power in 1963: the failure of traditional and liberal leadership, an agrarian crisis, the development of party ideology, the politicization of the army and rural mobilization - are examined in this study. Dr Hinnebusch aims to show how the Ba'th's road to power shaped its ideology and the character of its rule. Attention is then given to the pillars of state power - the army, political organizations and the peasantry. The author concludes that the regime has pursued a dual strategy for maintaining power - placing kin and clientelist networks at the levers of coercive power and building structures based on the mass incorporation of the rural population.
