À propos de ce contenu audio

In this episode of The Story of Oman, Lucas and Luna turn from the familiar heartlands of Nizwa and Muscat to the rugged coastline of the Pirate Coast—today's United Arab Emirates. They explore how the Qawasim tribes of Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah built a formidable maritime power in the 18th and early 19th centuries, challenging both the Omani Al Bu Said dynasty and the British East India Company. Lucas explains the Qawasim's origins as pearl divers and traders, their adoption of naval warfare, and the British campaign that labeled them 'pirates' to justify destruction of their fleet in 1819. The conversation covers the resulting General Maritime Treaty of 1820, which birthed the Trucial States, and the killing of Qawasim leader Hassan bin Rahma. Luna asks about the legacy of 'piracy' vs. legitimate resistance, and Lucas reflects on how this episode shaped modern UAE-Oman relations and the erasure of Qawasim history. The episode ends with a question about how the past is named by victors.
