What Happens In Saudi Arabia, Stays In Saudi Arabia, Except For This Book. Includes 50 color photographs! Is a candid account of my almost 3 years as a single American Nurse in Saudi Arabia. I was fascinated, and often disturbed by the very conservative Muslim Culture. I met people from all over the world, there to work as I was. The difference was, I was there for the adventure, while most everyone else was there due to financial hardships in their home countries.

Despite speculation about Saudi interests and loyalties that have been directed at the country since 9/11, Arabia remains the key US ally in the Arab Middle East. Ménoret debunks the facile notions about Saudi society, and focuses our attention on present political and economic realities that cannot be reduced to essentialist "tribalist" ideas. Ménoret illustrates the emerging autonomous--and Islamic--manifestations of Saudi national identity, fiercely reformist rather than medieval, complex and varied rather than merely a justification or support for the rule of the al-Saud royal family.

Saudi Arabia is a wealthy and powerful country which exerts influence in the West and across the Islamic world. Yet it remains a closed society. The author traces its history from the age of emirates in the nineteenth century to the present day. Fusing chronology with analysis, personal experience with oral histories, she illuminates the social and cultural life of the Saudis. This rich and rewarding book will be invaluable to students as well as others trying to understand the enigma of Saudi Arabia.
