In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the little-known story of the Bidun — the stateless population of Qatar whose lives were transformed by the oil boom of the 1940s. As Sheikh Abdullah bin Qasim Al Thani signed the first oil concession with the Iraq Petroleum Company in 1935, the discovery of crude at Dukhan in 1939 and the subsequent strikes in the 1940s brought sudden wealth to the Al Thani family and a flood of foreign workers. But for the Bedouin tribes who had roamed the peninsula for centuries — the Al Murrah, the Manasir, the Awamir — the new state-building project created a legal limbo. Some were registered as citizens; many were not. The episode examines the origins of the Bidun (meaning 'without' in Arabic), the 1947 census that fixed nationality lines, and the social divisions that persist today. Drawing on oral histories and British archival records, Lucas and Luna unpack how oil revenue reshaped not just Qatar's economy but its very definition of belonging. #Qatar #Bidun #Stateless #DukhanOil #SheikhAbdullahBinQasimAlThani #OilBoom #AlMurrah #Bedouin #Census1947 #MiddleEast #GulfHistory #Khalij #PetroleumDevelopmentQatar #RentierState #Nationality #OralHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
