[Hind Al-Qahtani · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting and informative. Gets a bit political but still easy language.

Great book. Deals with national identity when a country which at one time was relatively ethnically homogenous becomes home to people of other ethnicities, particularly over several generations.
