Books by Dawn Chatty

A leading expert offers the definitive account of Syria's long history of welcoming, and now exporting, refugees.

Chatty's seminal study of the transition from pack animals to mechanized transport in Northern Arabia addresses Bedouin tradition, modernity, and the marriage of the two.]

In this book--the result of years of researching the Harasiis, a tribe living in the Sultanate of Oman--Chatty examines how development efforts affected tribe members on a personal level, from pastoralism to full-time employment, formal education, and the changing role of women in this new environment.
