Third Seminar in MES Research Seminar Series
The Dhufar revolution in Oman (1965-1976) was the longest running major armed struggle in the history of the Arabian Peninsula, Britain's last classic colonial war in the region, and one of the highlights of the Cold War in the Middle East. This seminar engages with the history of that episode, emphasising the centrality of popular movements in shaping events and outcomes in the Arab Gulf. The ties that bound transnational anti-colonial networks are explored, and Dhufar is also revealed to be an ideal vantage point from which to demonstrate the centrality of South-South connections in modern Arab history.
