This book, which includes brief reports on the situation of the major minorities present in Yemeni society, tries to shed light on the status of those minorities, as an essential part of the work that we do at INSAF Center for Defending Freedoms & Minorities. One of the loopholes that affect the rights of minorities as citizens is the various interpretations of the Yemeni constitution in the laws and provisions that have led to the discrimination against them. However, they have been subjected to the most severe levels of discrimination, violations and deprivation at all levels of life.
#NIGHT GAZER DUNG SKIN#
Despite the different historical narratives regarding the origins of this group – which are characterized by their dark skin color – historical records confirm that they have been in Yemen for centuries. They are the Muhamasheen (marginalized) minority, or as they are locally known “Akhdam” – a negative term that takes a racist dimension towards this group. It is a minority group that has faced marginalization and organized racism from both society and the state. In addition to these religious minorities, th ere is another minority that represents the largest minority in proportion to the overall population.
subject to harassment and repeated violations by the militias currently controlling northern Yemen, where the majority of these minorities lived.
Yemen also has a Bahai minority, who are currently estimated to number around 2,000 individuals. In addition to Muslims, there is a minority of Jews, who’s presence has drastically shrunk over the years due to the multiple violations and displacement they were subjected to. Yemen is home to religious and sectarian minorities who represent about 0.5% of the total population. For the purpose of the study, the psychological approach as well as the textual approach are to be used. It argues that Eve has been able to articulate the suffering experienced by Yemenite Jews at the hands of Zaydis and that the novel presents a realistic picture of the Jewish community during the first half of the 20 th century. The aim of the present article is to examine the effects of Zaydi discriminatory laws particularly the Orphans' Decree on the Yemenite Jewish community and explore the experience of the Jewish children under the threat of being uprooted just to be planted in another soil. It raises questions on the relation between religion, politics and minorities and legal implications of the incorporation of a religious minority into the mainstream of national identity. It also explores the experiences of marginalization and segregation in the lives of Yemenite Jews. It explores the experience of the Yemenite Jews in the first half of the twentieth-century Yemen and reveals the explicitly racialized association of human repression of Zaydi majority. The novel revisits the last period of the Jews' history in Yemen before their transportation to Israel in Operation Magic Carpet between 19 and is illustrative of the subordination and suffering of Jews in Yemen. Nomi Eve's novel Henna House: A Novel (2014) is the first novel to tackle the history of Jews in Yemen-one of the poorest and most forgotten countries of the world-in English.
