Reviews

'Gabriele Vom Bruck excels in narrating a critical moment of Yemeni history from the point of view of those involved. Mirrored Loss allows for the expression of long-suppressed indigenous narratives while, at the same time, elucidating the frames and structures which inform them and render them intelligible. This rare juxtaposition of oral history and academic analysis makes for a fascinating, indispensable read.' -- Marieke Brandt, author of 'Tribes and Politics in Yemen: A History of the Houthi Conflict' 'A masterful combination of biographic narrative, historical context and ethnographic detail that vividly evokes the trials and tribulations of the cultural and political elite of North Yemen from a woman's perspective. Highly recommended for students and scholars of the Middle East, gender studies, the anthropology of women and the study of memory.' -- Deniz Kandiyoti, Emeritus Professor in Development Studies, School of Oriental and African Studies
