Identities and roots: a historical account of the Yemeni community in the South Yorkshire town of Sheffield, UK
by Khadeegha Alzouebi
International Journal of Social Entrepreneurship and Innovation (IJSEI), Vol. 3, No. 1, 2014

Abstract: In this paper, I present a historical account of the settlement of the Yemeni community in Sheffield, a town in the North of England, providing a detailed account of the community in the 70s, 80s, 90s and a comprehensive look at the current community. I acknowledge the important contribution that this paper may make to the paucity of literature on Yemeni communities in England. It is also hoped that this paper will play a part in the process of greater recognition and understanding of one of the longest established ethnic minority communities in England, and in particular add to expanding the literature on the Yemeni community. In the second part of the paper, I provide a discussion of the migration patterns of Yemeni women and a detailed look at their unique important role in the establishment of the Yemeni community in Sheffield.
