قبيلة اللواتية في عُمان
قبيلة اللواتية في عُمان by Dr Ahmed Hussain Al-Saffar offers a historical and linguistic analytical study of the Lawati tribe, presenting it as a historical and cultural phenomenon that transcends conventional genealogical narratives. The book critically re-examines the name, origin, and linguistic structure through a multi-disciplinary critique.
The work begins by deconstructing the historical connotations of the name "Lawati," exploring various narratives about its origin and evolution. It situates the name within the geographical and cultural extensions that connected Oman with the Indian Ocean sphere through centuries of maritime, commercial, and civilisational interaction.
The author employs a comparative analytical approach that bridges classical heritage sources, archival documents, and linguistic evidence. This method balances between oral narratives and physical evidence, as well as between genealogical discourse and scientific analysis. The aim is not to favour a specific narrative but to reconstruct a cohesive historical image that reveals the dynamic formation of identity over time.
This book goes beyond tracing roots; it opens up broader horizons for understanding identity as a cumulative product of the interaction between place, language, memory, and history. It offers a scientific contribution aimed at liberating research from reductionism while providing a comprehensive examination of tribes and social entities in the region.
A book that marries historical investigation with linguistic study, it is directed at researchers and those interested in the history of Oman, cultural identity, and the transformations of societies across trans-regional spaces.
