In answer to the enduring mystery surrounding the factions' origins, Jane Hathaway places their emergence within the generalized crisis that the Ottoman Empire?like much of the rest of the world?suffered during the early modern period, while uncovering a symbiosis between Ottoman Egypt and Yemen that was critical to their formation. In addition, she scrutinizes the factions' foundation myths, deconstructing their tropes and symbols to reveal their connections to much older popular narratives. Drawing on parallels from a wide array of cultures, she demonstrates with striking originality how rituals such as storytelling and public processions, as well as identifying colors and emblems, could serve to reinforce factional identity. 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y1517-1882 607 $aYemen (Republic)$xHistory 607 $aEgypt$xEconomic conditions$y1517-1882 607 $aEgypt$xSocial conditions 607 $aYemen (Republic)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aYemen (Republic)$xSocial conditions 676 $a962/.03 700 $aHathaway$b Jane$f1962-$01016820 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812116103321 996 $aA tale of two factions$94116601 997 $aUNINA
