Examining political and socioeconomic change in the Yemen Arab
Republic (YAR), this book, first published in 1987, focuses
primarily on the quarter century following the overthrow of the
imamate in 1962. The problems and politics of the period's
republican leaders and their regimes are analysed against the
backdrop of Yemen's traditional Islamic theocracy, the Zaydi
imamate, which ruled for over a millennium. A country very similar
to Afghanistan in its mountainous terrain, tribal social
organization, and traditional Islamic culture, the YAR was almost
completely isolated and insulated from the modern world and modern
politics until the ousting of the imamate. This book explores in
detail the processes of change, the political leaders involved, and
the impact of domestic and external forces. Dr Burrowes draws on
his extensive conversations with YAR leaders to provide a unique
view of a country trying to cope with change and modernization.
