Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aden, terre de Genèse, port mythique, son nom résonne depuis l'Antiquité quand transitaient l'encens et la myrrhe du royaume de Saba. Cosmopolite depuis toujours, elle fut évacuée par les Britanniques en 1967 après 130 années de présence, servant d'escale à tout voyageur vers l'orient. aden est aujourd'hui la seconde capitale après Sanaa de la République du Yémen. L'auteur nous la fait revivre à travers une surprenante collection de gravures, dessins anciens et premières photographies dont celles inédites de Bartholdi, Tian et Rimbaud. Perle de l'Arabie des montagnes, José-Marie Bel nous la décrit avec un regard personnel et de nombreuses citations dont celles d'Ibn Battuta, Albuquerque, Haines, Helfritz, Kipling, Malraux, Nizan... Aden, mentioned in the Book of Genesis, is a mythical port, its name echoing down the corridors of time since the ancient days of the trade in incense and myrrh from the kingdom of Sheba. The city has always been cosmopolitan, and was evacuated by the British in 1967 after an occupation asting 130 years, during which it served as a port of call for every traveller bound for the East. Aden today is the second capital, after San'a, of the Republic of Yemen. The author brings it to life for us, through an extraordinary collection of engravings, old drawings and early photographs, including unpublished ones by Bartholdi, Tian and Rimbaud. José-Marie Bel describes this pearl of the mountainous regions of Arabia for us, giving us a personal view enriched with many quotations from the likes of Ibn Battuta, Albuquerque, Haines, Helfritz, Kipling, Malraux, Nizan...

Download or read book Dubai Amplified written by Stephen J. Ramos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the British withdrawal in 1971, the Gulf Region entered a heady period of political restructuring, awash with oil money that helped fund national aspirations. Infrastructure investment became a central part of the region's nation-building initiatives and fueled strong competition. Without its neighbours' oil fields, infrastructure and territorial development became particularly vital to Dubai. This book provides a unique and detailed understanding of Dubai urbanism by demonstrating that cumulative programmatic intensification and scalar amplification of its large-scale infrastructural components guided its metropolitan growth and generated a territorial organization logic that outstripped the predictive capacity of traditional Western master planning. Dubai’s rapid series of infrastructural projects culminated in the Jebel Ali Port, Industrial Area, and Free Zone, which marked a definitive "before and after" point. The book shows how Jebel Ali also became the template for subsequent developments, Dubai World Holdings Company's international aspirations, and the agencies that manage and regulate Dubai's large-scale infrastructural projects today. Dubai Amplified highlights the cycle of typological borrowing, prototypical replication, and scalar amplification, specifically in Dubai's infrastructure projects, to best describe its general territorial development. While infrastructure is traditionally understood as the elemental "hardware" that undergirds urban development, the book concludes by arguing that the definition should be expanded in this case as more of a set of objects, networks, and services that cities can selectively borrow, replicate, and amplify.

Download or read book Magic Carpet Exodus of Yemenite Jewry written by Esther Meir-Glitzenstein and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1949-50 "Operation Magic Carpet" brought the majority of the Jews of Yemen to Israel through secret co-operation between the Imam of Yemen, the British colonial rulers of Aden, the Israeli Government, and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC). In order to immigrate to Israel, Yemenite Jews sold or abandoned their property, took their sacred books with them, and set out on foot, trekking many difficult and treacherous kilometres to reach the southern border of Yemen and cross into Aden. When they arrived in Aden they were located in a transit camp, from which they were later flown to Israel. "Operation Magic Carpet" strengthened the Zionist claim of a historic Jewish right to the Land of Israel. As a result a heroic myth developed, presenting the bravery and ingenuity of Israelis who set out to rescue their "distant brethren" from lives of distress, degradation, and persecution in the context of the return of "ancient Hebrews" to Zion and its concomitant realisation of the eschatological visions of the prophets of Israel. Based on archival documents, the author reveals the enormous personal cost of the operation. The abandonment of immigrants to death in the desert during their trek to Aden, and the substantive loss of personal property in leaving their homes at short notice calls into question the personal benefit of such a brutal upheaval and demands a re-assessment of the aims of the immigration operation and its prime movers. Pertinent is discussion of the interests of the various states and organisations that were involved in this exodus, which can be seen in retrospect as the first stage in the evacuation of ancient Jewish communities throughout the Middle East and their transfer to Israel. On the wider political level, the question to be posed is: Did the Jews in the Muslim countries pay the price for the establishment of the State of Israel and the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem?

Download or read book Yemen written by Victoria Clark and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-23 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Yemen is the dark horse of the Middle East. Every so often it enters the headlines for one alarming reason or another -- links with al-Qaeda, kidnapped Westerners, explosive population growth -- then sinks into obscurity again. But, as Victoria Clark argues in this riveting book, we ignore Yemen at our peril. The poorest state in the Arab world, it is still dominated by its tribal makeup and has become a perfect breeding ground for insurgent and terrorist movements. Clark returns to the country where she was born to discover a perilously fragile state that deserves more of our understanding and attention. On a series of visits to Yemen between 2004 and 2009, she meets politicians, influential tribesmen, oil workers and jihadists as well as ordinary Yemenis. Untangling Yemen's history before examining the country's role in both al-Qaeda and the wider jihadist movement today, Clark presents a lively, clear, and up-to-date account of a little-known state whose chronic instability is increasingly engaging the general reader"--Publisher description.
