Boxberger shows how changes in political and social institutions fostered contestation at all levels, from rivalries over territory and political power, to heated debates over religious and educational reform, to efforts to regulate wedding customs and women's dress. Based on extensive fieldwork, this ethnographic and historical narrative draws upon a wide variety of sources, including British documents and accounts; local documents, manuscripts and rare printed materials; extensive interviews with Hadhrami elders from all walks of life; and proverbs, poetry, and tribal lore. Clearly written and richly textured, this book is a welcome contribution to the study of Yemen, the historical ethnography of the Middle East, and the literature on the Islamic societies of the Indian Ocean littoral. 607 $aH?ad?ramawt (Yemen : Province)$xHistory 607 $aH?ad?ramawt (Yemen : Province)$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aH?ad?ramawt (Yemen : Province)$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aH?ad?ramawt (Yemen : Province)$xSocial life and customs$y19th century 607 $aH?ad?ramawt (Yemen : Province)$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 676 $a953.3 700 $aBoxberger$b Linda$f1951-$01618048 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812817903321 996 $aOn the edge of empire$93949541 997 $aUNINA
