A comprehensive introduction to Yemen's current crises, major
players, and potential solutions to an ongoing civil war. In 2014,
a tribal alliance from Yemen's northern regions seized the capital
city of Sana'a 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 Saleh's political party. 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 much
deeper history-one that stretches back centuries. In Yemen: What
Everyone Needs to Know (R), Asher Orkaby provides a broad-ranging,
historically overview of the country and its peoples that focuses
in particular on the contemporary situation. He covers the
countries 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, regional
identities, Yemen's African and Jewish minorities, and the social
impact of the Arab Spring on the country's women and youth. Orkaby
also offers readers a window into Yemen's rich past: its
archaeological treasures, its ancient economic prosperity, and its
tribal and religious history. He also looks to Yemen's future,
identifying potential avenues through which Yemen can use its
promising geographic location, natural resources, and economic
potential to achieve stability.
