It examines the structure and ordering of the particular biographical collections under consideration in this volume in the wider context of their respective genres. The chapter discusses the different principles com…
Obituaries in Service of the Rasūlid Sultanate in Yemen at the Turn of the 9th/15th Century
Al-Ê¿UqÅ«d al-lu Ì lu Ì iyya fÄ« ta Ì rÄ«kh al-dawla al-RasÅ«liyya, a chronicle describing the events surrounding the lives of seven RasÅ«lid sultans as they strove for dominance over the inhabitants of South Arabia, was completed shortly after the death of the last of these rulers, al-Ashraf IsmÄ Ê¿Ä«l, by court historian AbÅ« al-á ̧¤asan Ê¿AlÄ« al-KhazrajÄ«. It aimed to depict the potency of the sultansâ divinely guided rulership after a period…
Introduction. Medieval Biographical Collections in Comparison
This volume offers a comparative approach to collections of biographical texts from the Buddhist, Christian and Islamic worlds in the period 400-1600. It examines how both common and diverse compilation and literary strategies could be employed within and across different regions and religions. Throughout history, remarkable men and women stood out in a way that triggered an often-complex process of retelling their lives and preserving their memo…
Evolving Rasūlid Narratives of Opposition to Sultan al-Manṣūr Nūr al-Dīn ʿUmar (d. 647/1250) in Yemen
The Rasūlid chronicles of the reign of al-Manṣūr Nūr al-Dīn ʿUmar b. ʿAlī b. Rasūl depict its first ruler as steadily consolidating the political foundation of the sultanate. Most of these reports clearly portray the dominance of the sultan in Yemen during this period. But a few reveal the limitations of his power in a more complex political landscape, such as an aborted military campaign against a local tribe, an insurrection by a Zaydi sharīf ,…
Introduction
Historiography and Identity IV
Engaged Research in a Hurry
Since 2017, the United States has dramatically decreased its budget for refugee resettlement, increasing barriers to services that help refugees meet their basic needs. For us, as anthropologists, given the relationships that are cultivated through long-term ethnographic research, it is impossible to ignore the detrimental effects of national policy changes in a political environment that is unlikely to change due to our policy recommendations. I…
Experiences and Effects of Food Insecurity Among Recently Resettled Refugees from the Congo Wars
Recently resettled refugees from the Congo Wars continue to struggle with food insecurity that, in many cases, extends to before their camp and war-time experiences. Beginning in 2016, a team from the University of South Florida has studied dietary adaptation and nutritional status among refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Population census data, in-depth interviews with household heads, anthropometric measurements, dietary recall…
Satire, social media, and cultures of resistance
Retooled by social media and new communication technologies, the cultural politics of dissent in Kenya has become bolder and more open since the return of multi-party politics in the early 1990s. Tracing such changes, this chapter highlights lively domains of creative expression that disrupts political messages and unmasks political power in ways that upstage dominant news media. Satire, popular music, graffiti art, and cartoons capture rulers’ e…
Evaluating Understandings of State and Federal Pandemic Policies
This article addresses underlying inequities for resettling refugees that have been exposed by COVID-19, including language barriers and access to public health information, food, health care, housing, and employment. It also speaks to theoretical concerns about the role of structural forces in creating increased health risks for vulnerable populations. Fieldwork that began in May 2020 investigated the extent to which refugees in Tampa understand…
Unique Issues for Resettling Refugees from the Congo Wars
In recent years, many anthropologists in the United States have become involved with organizations that serve newly resettled refugees, especially as budgets for the agencies have been severely cut since 2017. Here, we reflect on some of our experiences working with Refugees from the Congo Wars (RFCWs) and address some of the challenges we have faced as applied/practicing anthropologists and resettlement support personnel. Juxtaposing a larger so…
Settlement Patterns and Fortification Architecture in the Central Highlands of Yemen
Located in the central highlands of Yemen at approximately 2,000-2,600 meters above sea level, the Dhamar Plain was the home of a tribal population who continually contended with a succession of invading states for its control over the course of medieval and early modern periods, such as the Rasulids (13th-14th cen.) and the Ottomans (16th-17th cen.). Despite the roughly century-long duration of theses occupations, only minimal physical remains a…
Applying Applied Anthropology
A team of applied anthropologists (EH, RDB, DM, RO) and refugee service providers (FA and others) worked in collaboration to research dietary change and nutritional status among recently resettled Congolese refugees and to apply the preliminary findings of that research. The Congolese also requested help from the anthropologists with issues of sexual harassment among the adults, school bullying, and issues related to changing gender roles in the …
Writing the Ethnic Origins of the Rasulids in Late Medieval South Arabia
The Rasulids arrived in South Arabia towards the end of the sixth/twelfth century as Turkoman officers in the Ayyubid military. Thereafter they established a dynasty that lasted until the mid-ninth/fifteenth century. At the height of their power at the end of the seventh/thirteenth century, an effort to further buoy their political legitimacy was undertaken by resituating their ethnic origins to South Arabia. This first appeared within a genealog…
Political Reason in the Age of Ideology
Mobilities and Risks in Coastal Kenya
Removed from the roadsides by waves of "city cleaning" in the early 2000s, Kenyan crafts traders have spent their careers struggling for market access within the port city and tourism hub of Mombasa. An Indian Ocean city in which the mobile and immobile of the global economy converge and interact, some Kenyan traders strive to "jump scales" into international networks, made more possible in the last decade with the help of digital technologies su…

Changing Strategies in Marketing Kenya's Tourist Art
This article explores recent changes in Kenya's curio or handicrafts industry. In addition to a crisis in access to raw materials and a diversifying tourist market, the rise in the use of cell phones and the Internet during the early 2000s present unique challenges. Nonetheless, innovative Kenyan entrepreneurs are using these challenges to market and brand products in new ways-by representing modern global interconnectedness as "fair trade" or cr…
WatchingThe Daily Showin Kenya
Global distribution of a popular American television programme – Jon Stewart's Daily Show – offers a rare opportunity to examine transnational contingencies of meaning in political satire. Drawing on focus group discussions in Kenya, this analysis shows how some East Africans appropriated and reinterpreted – indeed unexpectedly subverted – The Daily Show's political content, deriving from it insights that Stewart himself might have found surprisi…
