- ʿAbdallah Khalīfah (1948-, Bahrain) – al-Yanābīʿa (‘Springs’, 2013). Covering the period from the British colonisation until Bahraini independence, al-Yanābīʿa tells the story of three generations: Al-Awwād, his son ʿAlī, and his grandson Jamāl. It reflects on the transformations in Bahraini society after pearls from Japan replace Bahraini pearls and oil is discovered, which leads to fundamental changes in the class structures in society (also in S: Social Issues and Societal Change: Oil and the Gulf Region).
