On the Edge of Empire

Hadhramawt, Emigration, and the Indian Ocean, 1880s-1930s

By: Linda Boxberger

Offering a new perspective on a little-studied society, On the Edge of Empire examines the gradual incorporation of the Qu`ayti and Kathiri sultanates of Hadhramawt in the southern Arabian Peninsula into the British Empire during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Boxberger shows how changes in political and social institutions fostered contestation at all levels, from rivalries over territory and political power, to heated debates over religious and educational reform, to efforts to regulate wedding customs and women's dress. Based on extensive fieldwork, this ethnographic and historical narrative draws upon a wide variety of sources, including British documents and accounts; local documents, manuscripts and rare printed materials; extensive interviews with Hadhrami elders from all walks of life; and proverbs, poetry, and tribal lore. Clearly written and richly textured, this book is a welcome contribution to the study of Yemen, the historical ethnography of the Middle East, and the literature on the Islamic societies of the Indian Ocean littoral.

The Junk Food Alternative

By: Linda Burum

Abstract: Recipes to assist in breaking the unhealthful junk food syndrome are presented for busy consumers. The approach attempts to change popular ideas about junk food. It is suggested that high-nutrient snacks can be prepared and used as an alternative to a meal. Many of the recipes have been sampled and tested by high school students. The need for complete protein is emphasized; skipping meals can lower blood sugar level, and protein is needed to sustain it. Protein is not provided by junk foods. Following discussion of introductory food preparation needs and cooking tips, recipes are given for appetizers, meats, salads, desserts, and condiments; and standardized basic recipes include yogurt, granola, and cheese.
