Qatar is the country with the highest per capita income in the world. A few decades ago, the now oil and gas-rich country could not survive years of hunger that led more than 10% of the population to emigrate to neighboring countries. This transition and modernization was analyzed in the introduction of the book “Qatar: A Modern History” by Allen J. Fromherz. This reaction article intends to study his analysis which mainly talks about the absence of the sense of postmodernism in Qatari citizens. According to Allen Fromherz, despite the rapid modernization in Qatar, the conflict between modernity and traditionalism that modernity aims to eliminate and create is absent in the nation. Fromherz argues that the Western assumption that modernity leads to the loss of historical and traditional values ​​is not applicable to Qatar. The seamless way in which the nation has gone from a place of poverty to a nation with one of the most successful economies in the world is astonishing. Traditional and tribal affiliations that should have been eradicated by modernization were instead strengthened by the economy brought by the oil industry. However modern the country may seem to an outsider, tribal and traditional values ​​have not been lost in the mindset of at least the older generation of Qatari citizens. Fromherz suggests that Islamic modernism somehow protected Qatar from the negative effects of postmodernism. One of the problems discussed in Fromherz's analysis of Qatar's modernity is the influx of expatriates. The booming economic sectors in Qatar have invited huge numbers of expatriates which have begun to necessitate the integration of various cultures. The introduction of these cultures was a direct consequence of rapid modernization...... middle of paper ......this shows that modernity has hit the nation with controversies like in any other nation. While it is true that National Independence Day was chosen as Jassim Al – Thani's birthday, this does not continue to prove that "Al - Thani is the nation and the nation is Al - Thani", as Fromherz says. What Fromherz fails to understand is that Jassim was "the founder" of the nation and that the celebration of the national day on the day of his birth is simply a way of maintaining knowledge of Qatar's heritage and is intended to instill a sense of pride. among Qataris. While it is true that members of the Al-Thani family can be found almost everywhere in government positions, it should also be noted that the family has given much to the development of the country and has managed to create a culture and heritage that future citizens of Qatar can be proud.
