Summary: Yemeni Poetry on the Frontline investigates popular literary responses to conflict in the different regions of Yemen, comparing responses to, and expressions of, traditional conflict with those to the new externally fuelled conflict. In its engagement with diasporic Yemeni communities in the UK, the book explores how storytelling and poetry might heighten and enhance both political and public awareness of the situation in Yemen, and lead to wider cultural understanding of diasporic and refugee communities in the UK. The novelty lies in the focus on literary expressions of conflict and conflict resolution, and the bringing together of projects dealing with the diverse regions of Yemen. This book will primarily appeal to scholars in Yemeni poetry, Arabic literature, Arabic dialectology, and anthropological linguistics.
