Reviews

This book reads very well. The author's writing style is engaging, easy to follow and thought provoking....Given the dearth of information on Qatar, I believe this book will have wide appeal and provide useful and interesting insight into a little known country and culture. -- Christine Lindholm, Associate Dean for Virginia Commonwealth University, School of the Arts Changing Qatar changes not just how we think about the Arabian Gulf but how we think about political order, gender and the role of great wealth in making up cities and the people within them. It is a singular accomplishment-shrewd, engrossing, and rich with ideas and substance. -- Harvey Molotch, co-editor of The New Arab Urban: Gulf Cities of Wealth, Ambition, and Distress
