This article presents the first archaeological survey of the ornate Kidichi baths on Zanzibar. The baths were built either for or by Shihrazad, a wife of Zanzibar’s nineteenth-century ruler Said bin Sultan (1806–56). Laser scanning the ornate plaster stucco clarified two inscriptions, the precise meaning of which had been lost. By combining archaeological survey results with historical research and a translation of the inscriptions, a new narrative is presented in which the main protagonist is, unusually, female. Her story raises a host of questions relating to heritage, gender, religion and politics in modern-day Africa and beyond.

The Many Voyages ofFateh Al-Khayr: Unfurling the Gulf in the Age of Oceanic History

In this article, I make the claim that the time has come to re-situate the Gulf historically as part of the Indian Ocean world rather than the terrestrial Middle East. I explore the historical potential of thinking “transregionally” – of what it means to more fully weave the history of the Gulf into that of the Indian Ocean, and what the ramifications are for orienting it away from the terrestrially-grounded literature in which it has long been situated. The promise of an oceanic history, I argue, is both academic and political: first, it opens up the possibilities of new narratives for the Gulf’s past, suggesting new periodizations, fruitful avenues of historical inquiry, and new readings of old sources. But more than that, an oceanic history of the Gulf allows historians to push against the discourses of nativism that have pervaded the public sphere in the Gulf States.

L’histoire urbaine du Koweït se divise en deux périodes : l’urbanisation, entre le 7e siècle et le début du 20e, et l’extension urbaine rapide qui commence peu après. À ce jour, les facteurs historiques et géographiques qui animent ces mouvements ne sont pas étudiés dans le détail. Dans notre étude, nous employons une grande quantité de données cartographiques brutes et secondaires pour analyser l’expansion urbaine et l’évolution formelle de Kuwait City depuis l’Antiquité. L’analyse de la première période porte surtout sur la cartographie des premiers établissements, et la rattache aux évènements marquants de l’histoire régionale. Pour la seconde période, nous avons produit de nombreuses cartes que nous avons étudiées pour comprendre et expliquer les mouvements de l’expansion urbaine. Nos résultats montrent que la première urbanisation du Koweït est motivée par la topographie, de même que par la disposition stratégique d’établissements commerciaux et défensifs. Par la suite, l’expansion urbaine est motivée par le rattachement aux zones d’activité économique, d’abord, puis par le tracé des routes commerciales, plus tard. Enfin, depuis 70 ans, l’évolution sur place de la forme urbaine s’explique entièrement par la planification centralisée du gouvernement.
