In 1979, Steven C. Caton went to a remote area of Yemen to do
fieldwork on the famous oral poetry of its tribes. The recent
hostage crisis in Iran made life perilous for a young American in
the Middle East; worse, he was soon embroiled in a dangerous local
conflict and tribal hostilities simmered for months. "Yemen"
"Chronicle "is his extraordinary report both on events that ensued
and on the many theoretical--let alone practical--difficulties of
doing ethnography in such circumstances. Caton also offers a
profound meditation on the political, cultural, and sexual
components of modern Arab culture.
