When author Peter Mortimer was commissioned to write a play about a little-known riot between Yemeni & British seamen at Mill Dam, South Shields, in 1930, he decided to take the long trip to Yemen itself in search of inspiration. Undeterred by post-11 September government warnings against visiting this `highly dangerous` area, Mortimer set off & found an extraordinary & surprisingly Anglophile country. Cool for Qat documents this remarkable journey, during which Mortimer pieces together how the riots of 1930 arose & considers their relevance to Western attitudes towards Muslims today. He meets many remarkable characters along the way & immerses himself in the national custom of chewing the narcotic qat leaf. After visiting the ex-British Protectorate of Aden
- through which many of the seamen passed en route to Britain
- Mortimer travels on to San`a & then Tai`iz. It is while visiting the isolated mountain villages surrounding this city that Mortimer finally meets men who worked in South Shields some 50 years ago. Carrying a battered book with images of Yemenis living in the North-east in the `30s from home to home, trying to jog distant memories, he realises his visit has taken on a new purpose
- bringing a small part of the country`s history back to where it belongs. Back in the UK, Mortimer`s investigations into the 1930 riot reveal a society with many striking similarities to current times. Then, as now, Muslim immigrants were treated as scapegoats for all manner of ills, tabloid newspapers drummed up prejudice & hatred, & the powers that be often used fear & racial mistrust to disguise their own economic failings. Cool for Qat questions just how `civilised` the Western world
- & Britain in particular
- is in comparison to Yemen. It is a touching, thought-provoking & at times humorous document of one man`s travels through a country about which little is known in the West.
