Soqotra, the largest island of Yemen's Soqotra
Archipelago, is one of the most uniquely diverse places in the world. A
UNESCO natural World Heritage Site, the island is home not only to
birds, reptiles, and plants found nowhere else on earth, but also to a
rich cultural history and the endangered Soqotri language. Within the
span of a decade, this Indian Ocean archipelago went from being among
the most marginalized regions of Yemen to promoted for its outstanding
global value. Islands of Heritage shares Soqotrans' stories to offer the
first exploration of environmental conservation, heritage production,
and development in an Arab state. Examining the multiple notions of
heritage in play for twenty-first-century Soqotra, Nathalie Peutz
narrates how everyday Soqotrans came to assemble, defend, and mobilize
their cultural and linguistic heritage. These efforts, which diverged
from outsiders' focus on the island's natural heritage, ultimately added
to Soqotrans' calls for political and cultural change during the Yemeni
Revolution. Islands of Heritage shows that far from being merely a
conservative endeavor, the protection of heritage can have profoundly
transformative, even revolutionary effects. Grassroots claims to
heritage can be a potent form of political engagement with the most
imminent concerns of the human rights, globalization, democracy, and
sustainability.
