“ What could I say about Yemen that would do it justice? In my journal, I tried to be honest. I used 60 rolls of 120 black-and-white film to capture the experience. This hot, restless, and beautiful Ramadan.”
Do not eat or drink anything between sunrise and sunset. The faithful await the moment. Cannons boom from the mosque at the end of the day. BOOM! And a frenzy of buying quat, drinking tea, and eating food begins in the souks, squares, oases, and cities across the country. Everyone is happy, laughing and joking as they sit together as one nation.
And you know what, people have always wanted me to share in and be a part of their Ramadan, their community, their Yemen. I traveled with them all over the country—to Shibam, Taizz, Al Mukallah, Sanaa, through the desert, by sea, and in the mountains. The shared taxis were always half-dead Peugeot 405s, sometimes crammed with 10 or 12 people.
"The 92 pages of this book recount my experience of that unforgettable month of Ramadan—an experience I was gifted by the generosity of the Yemeni people. " – Max Pam, *Yemen Journals*, 1993.
