In Yemen's Soqotra Archipelago, during the years immediately preceding and following its inscription in 2008 as a UNESCO World Heritage site-and at a time when "Bedouinness" in much of the Arab world had been or was being elevated to a marketable heritage-Soqotran pastoralists spoke frequently of being Bedouin as a form of categorical abjection. Examining the work of these iterations, I argue that "Bedouin abjection" is a form of dialogic critique of the "global hierarchy of value" and an ironic assessment of the Soqotran pastoral present. I further assert that anthropologists must be attentive to the universal resonances of these abject articulations
