When the political elites of the Ṣāliḥ regime murder his father and his elder brothers, he is forced to exact revenge and lead his tribe through dramatic vicissitudes that culminate in the catastrophe of the Ḥūthī wars. Mujāhid’s life is a story of ongoing strife, heroism, resistance, commitment to the defence of honour, loss, and exile. His biography offers nuanced and original insights into how tribal politics in Yemen influence the domain of the state and are often intertwined with it – such that neither can be comprehended independently from the other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Maps and Figures  Acknowledgements  Introduction  Notes on Transliteration  Glossary\t  Abbreviations  Chronology  Chapter 1: Childhood in Obscurity  Chapter 2: The Serpent with the Many Heads  Chapter 3: Burdensome Inheritances  Chapter 4: The Road to Politics  Chapter 5: The Time of Faits Accomplis  Chapter 6: Those Who Loosen and Those Who Bind  Some Final Thoughts on Tribes, Politics, and Passions  References  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210867859799,"sku":"9789004546981","price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-tale-of-a-feud-domination-resistance-and-agency-in-highland-yemen-9789004546981","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
