The webs, nodes and networks created by Britain's Indian Ocean Empire during the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries are here explored in the context of their personal and social
impact. Using the British Settlement of Aden as its focus, the book examines the development
of a local community within the spaces created by imperial rule. It explores how individuals
from widely disparate backgrounds brought together by the networks of empire created
a cohesive community utilizing the one commonality at their disposal: their faith.
Specifically, it examines how religious institutions and spiritual ideas served as
parameters for the creation of community and the kinds of symbolic and cultural capital
an individual needed to attain communal membership and influence within the confines
of imperial rule.
