Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yemen is a small country situated in the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula, bordered by Saudi Arabia to the north, Oman to the east, and the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden to the west and south respectively. The country has a land area of about 527, 970 sq. km and a population of over 29 million people, making it one of the poorest and most densely populated countries in the Middle East. The capital of Yemen is Sana’a, which is also its largest city. The country is largely composed of arid and rugged terrain, with few fertile areas, and its economy is heavily dependent on agriculture and oil export. Yemen is a republic with a president elected for a five-year term. Its political system is based on a mix of Islamic and civil law. The country is predominantly Muslim, with the majority belonging to the Sunni sect, although there is also a significant Shiite minority. The official language is Arabic, and the currency is the Yemeni rial. Yemen has a rich cultural heritage, with a long history dating back to ancient times when it was known as the Kingdom of Sheba. Its historical legacy can still be seen in the old cities of Sana’a and Zabid, which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Despite its rich cultural heritage, Yemen has been plagued by internal conflicts since the 1960s, and the civil war that began in 2015 has only worsened the country's political and economic instability. Yemen remains one of the poorest and most war-torn countries in the world, with a humanitarian crisis that has left millions of people in dire need of aid.

Download or read book Architectural Heritage of Yemen written by Trevor Hugh James Marchand and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generations of highly skilled masons, carpenters and craftspeople have deftly employed local materials and indigenous technologies to create urban architectural assemblages, gardens, and rural landscapes that dialogue harmoniously with the natural contours and geological conditions of Yemen. Unfortunately, a sharp escalation in military action and violence in the country since the 1990s has had a devastating impact on the region's rich cultural heritage. In bringing together the astute observations and reflections of an international and interdisciplinary group of acclaimed scholars, this book aims to raise awareness of Yemen's long history of cultural creativity and the urgent need for international collaboration to protect it and its people from the destructive forces that have beset the region.
Download or read book Yemen written by Steven C. Caton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yemen is a country that is critical to U.S. security and our political interests, yet most Americans know virtually nothing about it. This book unlocks its secrets and explains its complexities in simple yet compelling language. A nation with a rich civilization that has spanned 3,000 years, Yemen is the only democratic republic in the Arabian Peninsula. While events in modern-day Yemen are often in international news, most Americans know nothing about this country—nor are there easy-to-read, up-to-date resources for lay audiences. This book fills the gap in the literature. It describes Yemen's geography, economy, politics and government, history, culture, society and contemporary events, presenting a comprehensive but accessible overview of the country from many different angles—coverage that is long overdue. Editor Steven C. Caton has taken care to create a resource that is readily comprehensible to non-specialists such as high school and college students and general readers as well as highly informative for those with previous knowledge about Yemen. His thorough treatment provides synthetic overviews of key topics, discusses and dismisses certain misconceptions about Yemen, offers surprising perspectives on the relatively unknown country, and underscores Yemen's importance to the region and the wider world—both in ancient times and today.
Download or read book Yemen and the Search for Stability written by Marie-Christine Heinze and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attacks and blockade on Yemen by the Saudi-led multinational coalition have killed thousands and triggered humanitarian disaster. The longstanding conflict in the country between the Huthi rebels and (until December 2017) Salih militias on the one side and those loyal to the internationally recognized government and many other groups fighting for their interests on the other are said to have evolved into a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. In 2011, however, thousands of Yemenis had taken to the streets to protest for a better future for their country. When President Ali Abdullah Salih signed over power in the aftermath of these protests, there were hopes that this would signal the beginning of a new period of transition. Yemen and the Search for Stability focuses on the aspirations that inspired revolutionary action, and analyzes what went wrong in the years that followed. It examines the different groups involved in the protests - Salih supporters, Muslim Brothers, Salafis, Huthis, secessionists, women, youth, artists and intellectuals- in terms of their competing visions for the country's future as well as their internal struggles. This book traces the impact of the 2011 upheavals on these groups' ideas for a `new Yemen' and on their strategies for self-empowerment. In so doing, Yemen and the Search for Stability examines the mistakes committed in the country's post-2011 transition process but also points towards prospects for stability and positive change.

Download or read book Peter Schlesinger Eight Days in Yemen written by and published by Damiani Limited. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unprecedented document of one of the Middle East's most extraordinary cultures In 1976, Peter Schlesinger (born 1948) visited the Yemen Arab Republic (as the northern part of Yemen was then called). He was accompanying the photographer Eric Boman, who was on a fashion shoot assignment for a French magazine. Yemen had been closed to foreigners for many years and in the interest of encouraging more tourism the government decided to court media outlets. Over the course of his eight-day stay, Schlesinger took hundreds of photographs documenting what he saw as he traveled from the capital, Sanaa, and on through the northern city of Sa'da. Forty-two years later, as he began making this book, Schlesinger shared these images with Bernard Haykel, a professor at Princeton University and an expert on the Middle East. He was taken aback at their existence, since documentation of Yemen in the '70s is so rare. Haykel provides an enriching introduction that brings to life the world Schlesinger captured.

Download or read book We Visit Yemen written by Claire O'Neal and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Yemen, where history comes alive. Its capital, Sana’a, is the oldest continually inhabited city in the world. The Queen of Sheba made her palace in the ruins of Marib, building a wealthy kingdom from the trade of native-grown frankincense and myrrh. The mysterious island of Socotra is home to plants that grow nowhere else in the world, like the exotic Dragon’s Blood tree. In this traditional Islamic country, women protect their modesty with the head-to-toe black abaya, while men wear a ceremonial dagger—the jambiya—at their belt. Isolated by jagged mountains atop the “Roof of Arabia,” Yemen’s tribal and traditional ways have stood the test of time. What happens when modern issues—oil, the dwindling water supply, women’s rights, Islamic terrorism—try to climb in?
