Yemen in the Shadow of Transition
In this episode, we're joined by Johanna Golden to discuss the new book Yemen in the Shadow of Transition by our own Prof. Stacey Philbrick Yadav. This new work offers a powerful challenge to how we think about transitional justice through years of fieldwork in Yemen and interactions with a wide range of Yemeni actors and activists. The book is available here from Hurst Press. In our conversations, Stacey discusses #SupportYemen media collective adaptation of ‘Abd al-‘Aziz al-Maqaleh’s “Melody of Our Alienation” (2014) and the Yemen Policy Center’s visual story “Bus of Hope,” by Rim Mugahed.
