The Arabian Frontier of the British Raj
is a study of one of the most forbidding frontier zones of Britain's
Indian Empire. The Gulf Residency, responsible for Britain's
relationship with Eastern Arabia and Southern Persia, was part of an
extensive network of political residencies that surrounded and protected
British India. Based on extensive archival research in both the Gulf
and Britain, this book examines how Britain's Political Resident in the
Gulf and his very small cadre of British officers maintained the Pax
Britannica on the waters of the Gulf, protected British interests
throughout the region, and managed political relations with the dozens
of Arab rulers and governors on both shores of the Gulf.
James
Onley looks at the secret to the Gulf Residency's effectiveness - the
extent to which the British worked within the indigenous political
systems of the Gulf. He examines the way in which Arab rulers in need of
protection collaborated with the Resident to maintain the Pax
Britannica, while influential men from affluent Arab, Persian, and
Indian merchant families served as the Resident's 'native agents'
(compradors) in over half of the political posts within the Gulf
Residency.
