| Résumé: | Introduction: heritage discourse and its alterities -- Reform and revolt through the pen and the sword -- Nizwa Fort and the dalla during the Imamate -- Museum effects -- Ethics of history-making -- Nizwa, city of memories -- Nizwa's lasting legacy of slavery -- The al-Lawati as a historical category -- Conclusion: cultivating the past.

Key locales and objects become sites for tracking transformations in forms of history, religious and political authority"-- |
