In the nineteenth century, the political independence and stability
of the Yemen were undermined by outside forces. The Wahabite
movement, British naval imperialism and the expansion of the
Ottoman Empire all contributed to the decline of the country. The
upheavals of the period are the framework of this study of the
Jewish community, its leaders and institutions. Messianic fervour
and emigration to Palestine were characteristic responses to the
difficulties faced by the Jewish community, and while the messiahs
and their followers were immediately rejected by the rationalists
and authorities, the close links between the Jews of the Yemen and
Palestine were only broken as a result of the First World War. This
book, first published in 1991, is not only an important
contribution to scholarly work on the history of Muslim/Jewish
relations, but also a vivid description of a Sephardi community
which is now gone.
