Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of the growing community of Yemeni
immigrants in the Detroit, Michigan metropolitan area who arrived primarily during the
1960s and 1970s. The article describes the Yemeni settlement in Detroit, including
information on their occupational patterns, residential distribution, and social
environment. Discussion then turns to the immigrants' background in Yemen before
emigration, followed by a description of lifestyles and community life in the Detroit
community, presented within the context of the immigrants' overall goals and attitudes
toward the host society (p. 110).
