Laurent Bonnefoy is a CNRS researcher at CERI Sciences Po, Paris. A specialist in Islamist movements and politics in the Arabian Peninsula, he is the author of Salafism in Yemen: Transnationalism and Religious Identity, and has published in numerous international academic journals.
‘An intensely detailed examination of this ancient land on the
southern tip of the Arabian peninsula. [The] current civil conflict
can be better understood by a reading of Yemen and the World,
perhaps more so than any other published account.’
*CHOICE*
‘A thoroughly researched and compelling analysis that makes a solid
contribution to Yemen studies by providing an insightful look at
Yemeni international interactions over the past two centuries.’
*Bustan: The Middle East Book Review*
This is an outstanding book, an incisive and in-depth look at
Yemeni international interactions over the past two centuries.
Bonnefoy's examination of migrants, merchants, and refugees, and
literature, song, and poetry takes the reader on a far richer and
highly compelling journey than others have done.
*Kristian Coates Ulrichsen, Fellow for the Middle East, Rice
University Baker Institute for Public Policy, and Associate Fellow
in the Middle East & North Africa Programme, Chatham House*
Bonnefoy deftly weaves together historical and contemporary
analysis through the lens of transnational flows of ideas, people,
and claims. This is essential to a better understanding of what is
(and is not) new about Yemen's axes of conflict and potential for
sustainable peace.
*Stacey Philbrick Yadav, Chair of the International Relations
Program, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, and author of
'Islamists and the State: Legitimacy and Institutions in Yemen and
Lebanon'*
'A splendid documentation of Yemen's synergies with the world, both
in history and contemporary times. Bonnefoy has done a superb job
of persuading us of Yemen's vital position in the global
community.'
*Marieke Brandt*
