About This Book

The book analyzes recent changes to the identities and cultures of the GCC countries. These important transformations have gone largely unnoticed due to the fast-paced changes in the region that affect all aspects of society. The volume unpacks these transformations by looking from a holistic perspective at the intersections of language, arts, education, political culture, city, regional alliances and transnational identities. It offers selected case studies based on original research carried out in the region.

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
