Saudi Arabia's Urban Revolution : Oil Urbanization and Protest in al-Ahsaʾ/ the Eastern Province /
:
This book discusses popular contention in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province (until 1952 the governorate of al-Ahsaʾ) under the aegis of petro-capitalism. The notion of urban revolution takes on a double meaning, namely the rapid urbanisation which broke with the region's urban past and destroyed the oasis environment and merchant economy, and the types of resistance and rebellious fervour that were triggered by the concentration of labour and industrial production in the new urban centres. The book uses archival sources from the United States, Great Britain, and Saudi Arabia as well as accounts of Saudi oil workers, activists, and other contemporaries.

Sufism in Saudi Arabia since 1979 : The Politics of Orthodoxy in Contemporary Islam /
:
This is the first full-length monograph to explore Sufism in Saudi Arabia since 1979-a groundbreaking journey into a rarely seen side of the kingdom's religious life. Drawing on rich fieldwork, in-depth interviews with Sufi practitioners, and archival research, the book brings readers deep into the spiritual networks that persist beneath the surface of state-enforced Wahhabi orthodoxy. It traces a century of scholarly life in the Hejaz, follows transnational ties-especially those of the Ba ʿAlawi order-and uncovers stories of persecution, such as that of Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki. Timely and vivid, it also examines the profound religious shifts unfolding under the rule of Mohammed bin Salman.
