Book synopsis

This book analyzes the recent changes to various aspects of the identities and culture of the GCC countries. These important transformations have gone largely unnoticed due to the fast nature of changes in the region that affect all aspects of the society. As a result, research lags behind. This book aims to fill this gap by looking from a holistic perspective at the intersections of language, arts, education, political culture, city, regional alliances, and family. It offers selected case studies based on original research carried out in the region. The chapters offer a fascinating reading reflecting the fluidity of the concepts in question. To date, in-depth studies of GCC identities are very scarce and fragmentary. It will provide an important support for academics, students and professionals who seek to understand the region better. Chapter 7, 'Identity Lost & Found: Architecture and Identity Formation in Kuwait and the Gulf', of this book is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com
