Arabia and The Isles
Author: Harold Ingrams
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136170375
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 539
Book Description
First Published in 1998. Harold Ingrams is an officer of the Colonial Administrative Service who has had a varied career. In the war of 1914--18 he served for five years with the King's Shropshire Light Infantry and was wounded in Belgium in 1916. He entered the Colonial Service in 1919 and held appointments in Mauritius and Zanzibar, descriptions of which appear in this book. In Zanzibar Ingrams came into contact with Arabs from southern Arabia, and he learnt from Hadhrami visitors of their native land, so close to the activities of the outer world, and yet so remote from them, so prosperous and so poor, so civilized and so savage. The Hadhranlaut is indeed a country of contrasts, with its wealthy Seyyids and its impoverished peasants, its handsome towns, country houses and estates, and its turbulent tribes, banditry and blood feuds. Although part of the British Protectorate of Aden, the wide valley of the HadhranIaut had claimed isolated by its natural barriers of mountains on the south and desert on the north.
