“Dhahran” as a book category encompasses fiction and nonfiction rooted in or shaped by the city of Dhahran and Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province—the headquarters of Saudi Aramco and a meeting point of Saudi and global cultures. Titles in this category span histories of the oil industry and rapid modernization; memoirs of Saudis, expatriates, and third-culture kids; narratives of compound life and cross-cultural exchange; reportage on energy, labor, and environmental change; and studies of regional heritage, urbanism, and the Dhahran–Dammam–Khobar corridor. Common themes include migration and identity, corporate and state power, education and research (e.g., KFUPM), and the everyday texture of life between desert and Gulf. Together, “Dhahran” books offer an intimate lens on the people, places, and decisions that helped shape the contemporary Gulf.
