520 "This highly innovative book is a multidisciplinary study
of green and its significance from multiple perspectives:
aesthetic, architectural, environmental, political, and
social. It is centered on the Kingdom of Bahrain, the
smallest and greenest of the Arab states in the Persian
Gulf, where green has a long and deep history appearing
cooling, productive, and prosperous--and a radical
contrast to the hot, hostile desert. As is the case with
cities around the world, green is often celebrated as a
counter to gray urban environments, yet green has not
always been good for cities. To have the color green
manifested in arid environments is often in direct
conflict with 'green' from an environmental point of view;
this paradox is at the heart of the book. Given the
resources required to maintain green in arid areas,
including cities, the provision of green often bears
significant environmental costs. In arid environments such
as Bahrain, this contradiction becomes extreme and even
unsustainable. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork,
Gareth Doherty explores the landscapes of Bahrain where
green represents a plethora of implicit human values and
lives in dialectical tension with other culturally and
environmentally significant colors and hues. The book's
six chapters focus on: Blue, Red, Date-palm Green, Grass
Green, Beige, and White. Implicit in his book is the
argument that concepts of color and object are mutually
defining and thus a discussion about green becomes a
discussion about the creation of space and place"--
