Sheila Carapico's book on civic participation in modern Yemen makes
an authoritative contribution to the study of political culture in
the Arabian peninsula. Relying on in-depth documentary and field
research, the author traces the political dynamics of recent years,
culminating in Yemeni unification, focuses on efforts to develop
the political, economic and social structures of a modern,
democratic government. Her wide-ranging analysis of the legal,
institutional and financial aspects of state building and of
popular dimensions of political liberalization, protest and
participation challenge the stereotypical view of conservative Arab
Muslim society. The political economy approach to the study which
reveals a surprising degree of 'activism in Arabia' also helps to
interpret the nature of civil society from a broad theoretical
perspective. This is an important book which promises to become the
definitive work on twentieth-century Yemen.
