The Arabs and the Scramble for Africa
This book examines the history of the European Scramble for Africa from the perspective of the Omanis and other Arabs in East Africa. It will be of interest not only to African specialists, but also those working on the Middle East, where awareness is now emerging that the history of those settled on the southern peripheries of Arabia has been intimately entwined with Indian Ocean maritime activities since pre-Islamic times. The nineteenth centur…
On Being An Ibāḍī
Buraimi
Ibâdism
Ibâḍism represents a branch of the third great division in Islam, that of the Khawârij. It survives in some isolated communities in North Africa, but manifested itself periodically in Oman as a full Imamate well into the 20th century. Using early material recorded in Basran and Omani sources, this book deconstructs the standard account of origins, showing that Ibâḍism's evolution into a madhhab (school) can only be understood in a wider historica…
The Zanzibar delimitation commission 1885–1886
Using French and British archives, this article shows how and why Zanzibar was excluded from the Berlin conference through Bismarck's and Leopold's intrigues, and consequently had to submit its territorial rights on the mainland of Africa to adjudication by a delimitation commission appointed by Britain, France and Germany. Forced into giving an unfavourable report by Germany's blackmailing of France over the Comoros, the commission paved the way…

Nomads and the outside World
Traditional Concepts of Territory in South East Arabia
Explanations of the differences between the traditional and modern notions of territory in the Gulf tend to emphasize the distinction between jus sanguinis andyus soli. The adequacy of such an explanation is examined in the context of South East Arabia with special attention being paid to the notions of territoriality amongst the nomads in whose dars the creation of modern boundaries has been most arbitrary. After examining basic notions of owner…
Oman and East Africa
Oman has a very long recorded history which, until recently was known only through a couple of eighteenth and nineteenth century works translated into English.l In reality these two sources are of minor importance in comparison with the enormous wealth of surviving documents from authorities dating as far back as the ninth century. Virtually all this material is Ibadi, for the most partfiqh (jurisprudence) works that, at first sight, are of limit…

The Oman Question
A discussion of the political geography of south-east Arabia revolves around the question of what constitutes Oman. Assuming that some sort of regional entity centred on the mountain range of south-east Arabia exists, political problems may be divided into those affecting internal unity and those concerning Oman's relationships with outside powers. The structure of internal unity is complex and demands analysis of the traditional economic and soc…

The Trucial States
A Sketch of the Historical Geography of the Trucial Oman down to the Beginning of the Sixteenth Century
The region discussed in this article covers the seven Trucial States and the enclaves of Muscat territory in the mountain region as far south as Buraymi. The whole area has been called the Trucial Oman ('Uman) in this article whilst the name Trucial Coast has been reserved for the coast along the Persian Gulf and the Batina (Batina) Coast for those parts of the Trucial Oman facing the Gulf of Oman
Some Geographical Aspects of Qatar
The peninsula of Qatar (locally Gatar) covers an area of some 4000 square miles and protrudes into the Persian Gulf like an appendix to the Arabian Jazira. Although it is such a marked cartographical feature, it is remarkable how little infor? mation existed about it prior to the exploration for oil there. In fact, it is not until well into the nineteenth century that the outline of Qatar becomes recognizable on European maps. Earlier maps usuall…
