Zahra Dickson Freeth

4.9/5 (15877 ratings)

Description:Mrs. Freeth compares the once primitive and isolated territory of Kuwait, which she knew as a child, with the Kuwait of today, where untold wealth from oil royalties has made sweeping changes in the character of the town and its people.Outlining the history of the town, and the story of oil exploration in the Persian Gulf, the writer sets against this historical back-ground a detailed picture of modern Kuwait. She writes with affection of people, places, and events in both desert and town, describing scenes and customs which are fast disappearing. She introduces the reader to many Arab friends, shaikhs, seafarers, merchants, and shepherds, and takes us too into the private quarters of the Arab women, whose strict seclusion is growing less rigorous as the spread of education breaks down old barriers.Describing the society which in the course of a decade has made the transition from the middle ages to the twentieth century, she looks back on much that has gone from the life of Kuwait.'An interesting, perceptive, and well balanced account'.
