As this is not an academic book, I have not tried to give a complete list of sources. However, the following list is reasonably full. The intention is threefold: to include titles mentioned in the text, to provide guidelines for further reading, and to list sources which may have escaped the attention of specialists. For the benefit of the Arabists, I have rendered Arabic names and titles in the most commonly accepted form of transliteration, that used in Arabian Studies. The arrangement by section is to some extent arbitrary; for example, the Bents’ book Southern Arabia might as well appear under ‘Suquṭrā’ as ‘Ḥaḍramawt’.
What is and what is not compulsory reading is, of course, a matter of taste. While anything by al-Hamdānī is of prime importance for the earlier period, readers of Arabic might start with al-Qāḍī ‘Abdullāh al-Shamāḥī’s Al-yaman, a clear and concise guide to Yemeni history up to the 1960s; the gazetteers of al-Ḥajarī and al-Maqḥafī are both invaluable as works of reference; and the annals of al-Washalī are a fascinating personal record written in an age of change. In English, the books on Ḥaḍramawt by Freya Stark and the Ingramses are – like many of the South Arabian titles published by John Murray – classics; Doreen and Leila Ingrams’s Records of Yemen, a vast collection of documents on the country, includes some early and hard-to-find accounts by outsiders but has the disadvantage of being neither portable nor affordable. Paul Dresch’s Tribes, History and Government is scholarly, wide-ranging and well-written; Francine Stone’s Tihāmah book is both informative and beautiful. Personally, should I ever find myself marooned on Suquṭrā during the season of storms, there are three books I would hope to have with me: Ibn al-Mujāwir’s Tārīkh al-mustabṢir, a work of sometimes dubious reliability but packed with sūq gossip; Serjeant and Lewcock’s wonderful book on Ṣan‘ā’; and, of course, Hava’s Dictionary.
