Once Upon a Time.
A Red Arabia.
Democratic Yemen remains one of the twentieth century's least studied and least understood experiments of socialist state building.
We at Hamra Books intend to change that.

We will be sharing and publishing more content in the lead-up to our debut release, and long after it. We are excited about this new direction, and we hope you will join us in it.
English
Over the years, we have assembled a substantial archive of films, literature, documents, and artefacts from the region’s socialist experiments. Our aim is to make Hamra an archive in its own right: a resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone curious.
English
You may have noticed the videos we have begun publishing recently.
Hamra Books aims to expand beyond publishing into a wider platform for the preservation, study, and circulation of materials on Democratic Yemen, Oman, and the forgotten socialist movements of the Arab Gulf.

On the anniversary of the Omani People’s Revolution, we present a rare collection of film clips captured in 1969, at the height of the revolutionary struggle.
Oman was one of the Cold War’s fiercest yet most forgotten battlefields.
English
Today marks the 61st anniversary of the Omani People’s Revolution of June 9.
On this day, the Omani people rose and gathered their strength for a People’s War, to break the chains of the feudal, colonial-backed sultanate that had bound them hand and foot.

The Yemeni Socialist Party, the ruling party of the former Democratic Yemen, was founded on October 13–14, 1978, as the Marxist-Leninist vanguard of Yemen’s transition to socialism.
Its establishment formally replaced the NLF, which was dissolved in favor of the new party.
English
In 1978, Democratic Yemen set out to expand free and affordable social housing for its people, ordering a factory for prefabricated panel housing from Hungary.
By 1987, the factory was producing an estimated 500 flats a year, leaving a lasting mark on Aden’s urban landscape.

@iDShKx يصعب التحقق من نسبة الكحول الدقيقة فيه، لكنه كان بيرة عادية معبأة في زجاجات، وعلى الأرجح كان مماثلًا للبيرة العادية من نوع اللاجر، بنسبة كحول تقارب ٤ إلى ٥٪.

With the factory gone, legal local beer production in Yemen effectively ended. Seera Beer caps, bottles and labels remain rare curiosities for collectors around the world.
English
Its final destruction came during the 1994 civil war. After the defeat of the southern leadership and the entry of northern forces into Aden, the Seera Beer factory was looted, burned, and shut down.
English
Did you know Socialist South Yemen once had its own state-owned beer?
Seera Beer was brewed and bottled in Aden by the National Brewing Company during the era of the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen.

@AprilsBooks @OGnmcommie We apologize for the wait and lack of communication. Source material for this kind of project is hard to come by giving the circumstances that transpired in the 1990s, but we've managed to develop an extensive archive to work from. Thank you for your support!

A Red Star Shines over Arabia is going to still be published! They are just expanding it.
