Texte intégral
1I extend my deepest gratitude to my wife, Angela, and my daughter, Abril, whose unwavering support, patience, and willingness to listen sustained me through the most challenging stages of this project. Their encouragement—especially during moments when I feared this work might not reach a successful conclusion—was essential in bringing to light a project that began before the global disruptions of COVID‑19 reshaped our lives in so many ways.
2I am also grateful to the University of California, Merced, whose Center for the Humanities provided the time, resources, and intellectual environment necessary to assemble this editorial project. My sincere appreciation extends as well to the National Library of Kuwait, whose staff offered generous assistance and access to materials essential to the development of my work. I spent long days in the office space they kindly provided over several academic terms—a setting that offered the quiet and focus required for a task that often felt like an archaeological work.
3During the planning and conceptualization of this project, I benefited greatly from the guidance of Dr. Thorsten Botz of the Center for Global Studies in Kuwait. His insights helped me fully appreciate the relevance of visualizing Dr. Shiber’s editorial work and its intersections with journalism and urbanism. During my fieldwork, I also received valuable context from Dr. Abdulmohsen Yousef Jamal whose reflections on Kuwait’s political relations during the 1960s enriched my understanding of the period.
4I am equally indebted to Dr. Mohammed Al‑Nassar for his diligent assistance at the Library of Kuwait, which enabled me to locate and examine archival materials.
5I am also grateful to the many scholars whose comments and questions during my presentations in Kuwait contributed to refining this compilation and informing related research outcomes. My sincere thanks extend to Dr. Saleh Al‑Nafisi and Dr. Angela González Echeverry, whose bibliographic references helped me situate this project within its broader intellectual framework.
6Special appreciation is due to Kuwait Times, where I received a warm and generous welcome. Their team and research center kindly opened their archives to me and granted permission to reproduce selected materials for this publication. I also extend my sincere thanks to Mr. Yousef Abu‑Ghazaleh for his invaluable support with the Kuwait Times archive.
7I am also indebted to the University of Central Oklahoma, and particularly to the Department of Humanities and Philosophy, where I completed this project. My thanks extend as well to the College of Liberal Arts for their invitation to discuss the complexities involved in transforming a local archive into both an open‑source resource and a printed book.
8Finally, I wish to express my profound gratitude to the editorial team of the French Research Centre of the Arabian Peninsula (CEFREPA). Their commitment to advancing scholarship on the Gulf has created an indispensable platform for research. I am especially thankful to Ms. Dima Assad, whose careful attention to detail and thoughtful editorial guidance greatly enhanced this work.
