| Riepilogo: | Introduction: heritage discourse and its alterities -- Reform and revolt through the pen and the sword -- Nizwa Fort and the dalla during the Imamate -- Museum effects -- Ethics of history-making -- Nizwa, city of memories -- Nizwa's lasting legacy of slavery -- The al-Lawati as a historical category -- Conclusion: cultivating the past. "Centered in Muscat and Nizwa, the book analyzes the relations with the past that undergird the shift in Oman from an Ibadi shari'a Imamate (1913-1958) to a modern nation state from 1970 onwards. Key locales and objects become sites for tracking transformations in forms of history, religious and political authority"-- |
