Social historians tend to study Yemen migration through the lens of western capitalism. In so doing, they focus on modern events that shaped the movement of Yemenis out of south Arabia and dismiss the elements of mobility that have defined Yemen for millennia. This work aims to piece together the très longue durée of Yemen history and detail two structural aspects: mobility/stasis and cultural formation, in order to better understand how Yemenis constructed their society at home and abroad.
