Infos

In the Yemeni seaman of the steam age, the author finds a surprising link between her hometown of Cardiff, once the world's biggest coal-exporting port, and Aden, where the coal which fuelled the Empire was bunkered. This work offers an account of the way in which two cultures unexpectedly touch one another.
