Yemen Proud - Past and Present

Yemen Proud is an introduction to the rich history of Yemen and its strong relationship with Britain—from the Yemeni sailors who immigrated to Britain in the nineteenth century to the British Crown colony in Aden, right up to the integration of Yemeni communities into British society today.

The Yemeni community has been a part of British society since the 1890s and was one of the first Muslim communities to settle in Britain. British Yemenis fought for Britain in both world wars and have made countless contributions to British society. This book is a celebration of their achievements.
