1985 The Evolving Culture of Kuwait – Illustrated Pre-Invasion Kuwait Reference Book

Description

Published in 1985 by the Royal Scottish Museum, The Evolving Culture of Kuwait is an extensively illustrated study of Kuwait’s traditional culture, clothing, crafts and everyday life during a period of rapid social change. Created in conjunction with a museum exhibition on Kuwaiti costumes and textiles, the book documents both urban and Bedouin traditions through historic photographs, colour images, maps and detailed descriptions of dress, weaving, domestic interiors, markets and traditional material culture.

Of particular interest today is its record of Kuwait before the 1990 invasion, including photographs of traditional Kuwait City life, historic clothing and sadu, local craftsmen and prominent Kuwaitis. A valuable reference for collectors interested in Kuwait’s social history and cultural heritage.
