Description: Yemen by Asher Orkaby Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A comprehensive introduction to Yemens current crises, major players, and potential solutions to an ongoing civil war. In 2014, a tribal alliance from Yemens northern regions seized the capital city of Sanaa and overthrew a republic that had ruled since 1962. Known as the Houthi Movement, these rebels are today vying for control, sparring with southern separatist movements and former President Ali Abdullah Salehs politicalparty. Indeed, Yemen--located in the southwest corner of the Arabian peninsula--has become synonymous with civil unrest, sectarian conflict, famine, and rampant disease in recent years. Yet the country has a muchdeeper history--one that stretches back centuries. In Yemen: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Asher Orkaby provides a broad-ranging, historical overview of the country and its peoples that focuses in particular on the contemporary situation. He covers the countrys major political figures and ethnic groups, explaining the origins of each and their impact on contemporary national politics. Throughout, he focuses on tribalism, religious dynamics, regionalidentities, Yemens African and Jewish minorities, and the social impact of the Arab Spring on the countrys women and youth. Orkaby also offers readers a window into Yemens rich past: its archaeological treasures, itsancient economic prosperity, and its tribal and religious history. He also looks to Yemens future, identifying potential avenues through which Yemen can use its promising geographic location, natural resources, and economic potential to achieve stability.
