PEOPLE OF RAS AL KHAIMAH is an important book. This photography book
documents the stories of the people who shaped Ras Al Khaimah's great
economic, political and social transformation in the second half of the
twentieth century. The accounts here show what this transformation meant
in human terms. In their own words and accompanied by over 100 stunning
photographs, it features more than 50 portraits and oral histories of
the Emiratis and immigrants who call the Emirate home. They came
together to create a warm and welcoming society in the open spaces in
the north of the United Arab Emirates.
Anna Zacharias and Jeff Topping spent three years talking to residents,
teasing out their personal stories and photographing them at work and
play in all their diverse backgrounds.
