This four volume work presents an extensive collection of treaties and agreements determining the modern history of the Arabian Gulf and Peninsula. While such a work cannot be fully comprehensive, detailed research has been undertaken to find and collate new material. The editors have broken new ground by reproducing regional inter-state and local treaties, agreements and exchanges of letters, many of which have not been previously published. The treaties are arranged by country with an introductory selection of important international treaties relating to general commercial issues and to European political and territorial arrangements at the time of the First World War.--From publisher's description.

In Slavery, Agriculture, and Malaria in the Arabian Peninsula, Benjamin Reilly illuminates a previously unstudied phenomenon: the large-scale employment of people of African ancestry as slaves in agricultural oases within the Arabian Peninsula. The key to understanding this unusual system, Reilly argues, is the prevalence of malaria within Arabian Peninsula oases and drainage basins, which rendered agricultural lands in Arabia extremely unhealthy for people without genetic or acquired resistance to malarial fevers. In this way, Arabian slave agriculture had unexpected similarities to slavery as practiced in the Caribbean and Brazil. This book synthesizes for the first time a body of historical and ethnographic data about slave-based agriculture in the Arabian Peninsula. Reilly uses an innovative methodology to analyze the limited historical record and a multidisciplinary approach to complicate our understandings of the nature of work in an area that is popularly thought of solely as desert. This work makes significant contributions both to the global literature on slavery and to the environmental history of the Middle East—an area that has thus far received little attention from scholars.
