The webs, nodes and networks created by Britain's Indian Ocean
Empire during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are here
explored in the context of their personal and social impact. Using
the British Settlement of Aden as its focus, the book examines the
development of a local community within the spaces created by
imperial rule. It explores how individuals from widely disparate
backgrounds brought together by the networks of empire created a
cohesive community utilizing the one commonality at their disposal:
their faith. Specifically, it examines how religious institutions
and spiritual ideas served as parameters for the creation of
community and the kinds of symbolic and cultural capital an
individual needed to attain communal membership and influence
within the confines of imperial rule.
