Families and Social Change in the Gulf Region
«
In a nascent niche as Gulf Family Studies, this book is a trifecta: it fills a gap, has purpose and serves social policies. Touching on overlooked aspects of the region, specifically the multi-functions of the GCC family, the book delves into a plethora of critical considerations: traditional to transnational households, changes to child rearing and domestic help, youth, power sharing, and female work. Almost uniquely exposed to complex intersect between state and social-public life the intimate complications of Gulf homes are impressively articulated. This manuscript serves as a much-needed contextual grab on the contemporary understanding of the region and its private sphere.
