| Abstract: | Drawing from the collective wisdom of scholars of rural Yemen, Vienna-based anthropologist Marieke Brandt’s newly released volume offers a robust argument for the continued relevance of framing Yemeni inter-communal relations in terms of the “tribe.” Explained as a “historically rooted, emic concept of social representation” (12), Brandt assures the reader that the tribe in Yemen is rooted in remotest antiquity and survives by taking on modified, modern forms today. In this orientation of scholarly expertise seeking to capture in Yemen what anthropologists elsewhere have excised from their framework of analysis, Brandt’s selected representative voices constitute a who’s who in Yemeni studies. Reading this volume thus may offer non-specialists a rich sampling of previous and ongoing ethnographic work. Here the advocacy for a buoyant representation of rural Yemeni societies in terms of their tribal associations deserves praise; it also, however, induces some frustration with the underlying tenor of some contributions as authors misplace the role of others’ scholarly engagement with the tribal theme. |
