Responding to a diplomatic stalemate and a catastrophic
humanitarian crisis, Yemen's civil actors work every day to build
peace in fragmented local communities across the country. This book
shows how their efforts relate to longstanding justice demands in
Yemeni society, and details three decades of alternating elite
indifference toward, or strategic engagement with, questions of
justice. Exploring the transformative impact of the 2011 uprising
and Yemenis' substantive wrestling with questions of justice in the
years that followed, leading Yemen scholar Stacey Philbrick Yadav
shows how the transitional process was ultimately overtaken by war,
and explains why features of the transitional framework
nevertheless remain a central reference point for civil actors
engaged in peacebuilding today. In the absence of a negotiated
settlement, everyday peacebuilding has become a new site for
justice work, as an arena in which civil actors enjoy agency and
social recognition. Drawing on seventeen years of field research
and interviews with civil actors, Yadav positions Yemen's
non-combatants not--or not only--as victims of conflict, but as
political agents imagining and enacting the justice they wish to
see.
