This publication is a translation of Eduard Glaser's account of his first journey to Yemen 'Meine Reise durch Arḥab und Hāschid'.
It deals with Eduard Glaser's 2-week-trip to the highlands of Yemen in 1884.
The text on the website of the American Institute for Yemeni Studies reads:
'...this article shows the range of information that this scholar collected. One of the most valuable aspects of this is the first-handobservation of tribal disputes between the two major tribal confederations of Ḥāshid and Bakīl, and how both of these tribes interacted with the Ottomans.
Glaser writes more with the acumen of an ethnographer, recording history, than a journalist manufacturing a story. We are not only introduced to several shaykhs of the time, but also can see how they acted in situations of conflict. It is a rare glimpse seldom encountered even in more recent studies of Yemen.'
