Publisher's Synopsis

In 1932 the Al Saud family incorporated the kingdom of Hijaz, once the cultural hub of the Arabian world, in to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This book traces the fortunes of distinctive and resilient culture of the Hijazis, from the golden age of Hashemite Mecca to Saudi domination to its resurgence.
