About the event
Join Mandana E. Limbert (Anthropology, the Graduate Center, CUNY) and the Middle East and Middle Eastern American Studies Center (MEMAC) for an investigation of the changing notions of Arabness in Oman and Zanzibar over the course of the twentieth century. Limbert’s scholarship focuses on the intersection of oil wealth, national narratives and identity in Oman, and her recent book, In the Time of Oil: Piety, Memory, and Social Life in an Omani Town, was published by Stanford University Press in 2010.
