Book Synopsis
The government of Yemen remains largely incapable of providing goods and services to its population, but the regime continues to endure despite its fragility in the global order. Revealing what holds Yemen together in such circumstances, this book shows how citizens form national attachments even in the absence of strong state institutions.

Trade Review
"Unusually well-written and polished, Peripheral Visions makes important contributions to our understanding of Yemen and to the study of politics. Lisa Wedeen innovatively locates her inquiry in the venerable tradition of interpretive social science. There is no comparable book on Yemen." - Brinkley Messick, Columbia University"
