A scarce specialist monograph by the Soviet Arabist Oleg Gerasimovich Gerasimov, based on a unique body of primary source documents from both North and South Yemen gathered during field research in the early 1960s. In October 1962 - immediately following the September revolution that overthrew the Mutawakkilite monarchy - Gerasimov collected some 100 documents in Sana'a from the household archive of Prince Sayf al-Islam al-Qasim, uncle of the deposed Yemeni king: land registers and draft cadastres from the prince's estates in the Bani Matar, Bani Bahlul, and Bustan districts; estate management reports; records of coffee sales; land contracts; lists of tenant farmers; and price data for coffee and grain across different regions of North Yemen. Additional documents from South Yemen were recovered at the palace of the Sultan of Lahj in Aden and in Saywun in the Hadhramaut. Together they illuminate the social and economic structure of pre-revolutionary Yemen - land concentration in the hands of the feudal elite, the use of hired labour, sharia norms governing land ownership by women, and the role of tribal law - on the basis of archival sources almost entirely inaccessible to scholarship outside the country before 1962. The ten chapters of the book publish translated and annotated selections from these archives, covering the 1948 coup documents, land concentration and social stratification, tribal structures in North and South Yemen, labour relations, land sale and lease records in the Hadhramaut, and a personal diary of a court official of the Lahj Sultanate. The volume was edited by Vitaly Viktorovich Naumkin, later director of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences and one of the leading figures in Russian Arabic and Islamic studies. With a print run of only 900 copies, this is among the lowest-circulation monographs issued by the Main Editorial Board for Oriental Literature and is rarely encountered on the market.
