- W1607322233 abstract "Historiography in Saudi Arabia: Global- ization and the State in the Middle East, by Jorg Matthias Detennann. London: I.B. Tauris, 2014. 325 pages. $95.In Historiography in Saudi Arabia, Jorg Matthias Detennann discusses the impor- tant question how Saudi Arabia views and writes its own history. This is an important matter because the lack Western under- standing and appreciation the subject. De- tennann conducted extensive fieldwork and interviewed all the right people involved in the process Saudi history writing. Coupled with a distinct hypothesis, Detennann has crafted an account that accurately reflects the crurent Saudi position. To be clear, this posi- tion does not need to reflect or to coincide with Western academic or political views. Instead, this book illustrates the indigenous view on historical development through the eyes a scholar with a very good grasp Saudi culture, identity, and language.Detennann's main goal is to highlight the nanative Saudi historiog- raphy, in contrast to the coimnon Western perception its being homogenous, mono- lithic, and linear growth.
