Synopsis "Islam, Power and Work in Qatar: An Ethnographic Study of Social Interaction Patterns, Clothing, Housing, Discrimination, Sharia and Gender Segregation"
A thorough investigation on how tribalism and Sharia law impacts a society and creates a dependence on migrants. The occupational hierarchy is based on nationality and religion. Migrants are classified as "foreign" or Arab. Gulf citizens enjoy the greatest autonomy and legal protection. The various structures of domination, such as citizenship laws, the kafala system, Sharia law and gender segregation interact together to create a system of domination and control over workers who came to Qatar in search of income and opportunity. The resistance of "single-status" workers living under Islamic and employer domination are revealed in detail.
