Amid the extensive coverage of the Arab uprisings, the Gulf state of Bahrain has been almost forgotten. Fusing historical and contemporary analysis, Bahrain’s Uprising seeks to fill this gap, examining the ongoing protests and state repression that continues today. Drawing on powerful testimonies, interviews, and conversations from those involved, this broad collection of writings by scholars and activists provides a rarely heard voice of the lived experience of Bahrainis, describing the way in which a sophisticated society, defined by a historical struggle, continues to hamper the efforts of the ruling elite to rebrand itself as a liberal monarchy.

“Invaluable to anyone wanting a fuller understanding of the economic, political, and religious tensions within Bahrain.” —The Sociological Imagination The oil-producing states of the Arab Gulf are said to sink or swim on their capacity for political appeasement through economic redistribution. Yet, during the popular uprisings of the Arab Spring, in Bahrain and all across the Arab Gulf, ordinary citizens showed an unexpected enthusiasm for political protest directed against governments widely assumed to have co-opted their support with oil revenues. Justin Gengler draws on the first-ever mass political survey in Bahrain to demonstrate that neither is the state willing to offer all citizens the same bargain, nor are all citizens willing to accept it. Instead, shared social and religious identities offer a viable basis for mass political coordination. Challenging the prevailing rentier interpretation of political life in the Gulf states, Gengler offers new empirical evidence and a new conceptual framework for understanding the attitudes of ordinary citizens.

When married couple, Lilli, an archaeologist, and Frank, a corporate executive, move to Saudi Arabia in 1975, they become immersed in this ancient, undeveloped country. They are mesmerized by a foreign culture so different from their own, especially with its radical mores and oppressive social attitudes toward women. After many years living in the land of sand, Frank tragically disappears and Christian Lilli develops a forbidden relationship with a handsome Muslim man. The love affair must be kept secret to avoid discovery by religious police. Filled with intrigue, drama, and eventually peril, The Sands Are Changing is the engaging story of Lilli's relationships with two very different men. It is also an eye-opening narrative about a culture and now modern country that is misunderstood around the world.

Inspired by the author's own life, The Sands Are Changing is a romantic adventure novel in a journey through time with a surprise ending.
