This book would not exist without his generosity, openness, and confidence in me. He opened his life and personal history to me, and over a period of ten years cooperated with me on this book with boundless commitment, dedication, and patience. I consider this book his accomplishment as much as mine. My thanks also go to his family, in Sufyān and elsewhere, for supporting this research. In the final phase of the writing process they even organized a search for photos in war-torn Yemen. I am also indebted to many Yemeni friends, who prefer to remain anonymous, and who, with their knowledge and good counsel, contributed so much to the evolution of this book. It is a privilege to undertake research at the Institute for Social Anthropology (isa) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna whose long research tradition on South Arabia is well known. At isa, I was (and continue to be) surrounded by a team of scholars on Yemen and South Arabia, scholars whose expertise spans from medieval times to the present day. From the inception of this book Andre Gingrich, former isa director, provided support and insightful feedback throughout the writing and editing of my drafts. I am also grateful to

The movement was founded in the early 2000s by Ḥusayn al-Ḥūthī and has been led by his half-brother ʿAbd al-Malik al-Ḥūthī since 2004. Arising out of the Yemeni Zaydi revival movement of the 1990s, the Ḥūthīs are deeply rooted in Northern Yemen's Zaydi tradition, which the movement combines with doctrinal characteristics common to many modern Islamist movements. The Ḥūthī movement's sometimes contradictory messages, particularly those concerning the contentious issues of the imamate and the role of the Prophet's Family (ahl al-bayt), are indicative of its sometimes vague and inconsistent doctrines. In political and ideological terms, the Ḥūthī movement has pursued a long-term strategy of entrenching its members in leading positions of the Yemeni state apparatus, which it has tried to transform in accordance with its requirements and ideas. Historical Background The Ḥūthīs emerged out of the socio-political and religious transformations that began in the northern part of Yemen in the 1960s. The Yemeni 'September Revolution' of 1962 and the ensuing civil war (1962-1970) led to the overthrow of the Mutawakkilite Zaydi Kingdom and the establishment of the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR) (Dresch, Tribes, Government and History, 236-275). The revolution also removed the hereditary Zaydi elite who were descended from Imam ʿAlī and Fātima (ahl al-bayt, mostly called sāda in Yemen) from the prominent positions of power and in uence which had been allotted to them since the founding of the Zaydi imamate in Upper Yemen by the Zaydi Shiʿi Yaḥyā al-Ḥusayn, known as al-Hādī ilā al-Ḥaqq, in 289/901. After 1962, they were vili ed and identi ed with reactionary and regressive tendencies (vom Bruck, Islam, Memory and Morality, 199-202). The transition from a Zaydi imamate to the YAR republic has been characterised by some as Yemen's establishment as a modern nationstate, but it e fectively attempted to e face over a thousand years of history. Although the removal of madhhab distinctions was one of the YAR's declared objectives, from the late 1970s Islamist groups, supported by political circles around the Saudi-friendly Shaykh ʿAbd Allāh al-Aḥmar (the senior shaykh of the Ḥāshid tribal confederation), gained in uence (Dresch, Modern Yemen, 172-174). Sala-Wahhabi beliefs were also introduced through Yemeni migrant workers returning from Saudi Arabia (Weir, 296-297). Yemen's political leadership used

"Blood revenge is an inevitable evil in order to stay alive." introduction Blood revenge (thaʾr) is a customary social activity of great violence, which nevertheless involves the careful following of culturally prescribed rules. tribal customary law (ʿurf) considers blood revenge a legitimate-albeit rather rare-form of physical violence, which means that if killer kills victim, then it is in certain circumstances legal for a member of the victim's group to kill a member of the killer's group-and, in particular, the killer himself. 1 the rancorous deed of taking revenge is interconnected with strong feelings of justice and moral order. This short definition already indicates that the concept of blood revenge seems to combine a number of contradictions; an ambiguity that a shaykh of the Wāʾilah put in a nutshell by telling me: "Blood vengeance is an inevitable evil in order to stay alive." 2 in the rhetorical figure of an oxymoron, he conveyed an ostensible self-contradiction-that is, homicide in order to protect life-to illustrate the paradox of blood vengeance. i started to take an interest in the phenomenon of blood vengeance when i worked on my book on the Ṣaʿdah wars (2004-2010) and the history of the Ḥūthī conflict, whose local roots go back to the mid-1930s (Brandt 2017a). In order to understand the matrix of this war, on the local and community level, I was not only interested in exploring the positions taken by certain individuals and groups, but also their very motivations for adopting those positions. My particular interest in family histories, phenomena of longue durée, and the eternal question of the "why" revealed that in most cases family and tribal patterns of alliance and enmity preceded and determined the political and sectarian array of the actors. A notable, albeit extreme example is the historical feud between the tribes al-ʿUṣaymāt and Sufyān that arose in the 19 th century from a territorial conflict, which itself had roots in the struggle for influence and leadership between two prominent shaykhly lineages that goes back to the time of the first Ottoman 1 I would like to thank the participants of the workshop "Yemen's Living Heritage: Tribes and Tribalism into the 21 st Century" (14-15 February 2018), in particular Andre Gingrich and Najwa Adra, for their comments on the manuscript draft of this article. special thanks go to my Yemeni informants, who prefer to remain anonymous. the austrian nationalstiftung Fte and the institute for social anthropology at the austrian academy of sciences supported this research. this brief summary of the concept of blood revenge is based on the definition given in EI², 2000, Vol. X, pp. 442-43. 2 due to the current inaccessibility of the research area, this chapter is based on a mixed-method approach, consisting of literature-based research and digital anthropological fieldwork (distance approach).
