Maclagan Ianthe
Ianthe Maclagan lived in Jebel Hufsah, a small town high in the mountains of Yemen, during the early 1980s, conducting fieldwork for a University of London doctorate in social anthropology. Enchanted by her experiences, she returned several times until conflict put a hold on such travel. Maclagan’s research publications include a chapter on food and gender in a Yemeni highland community within a book on culinary cultures in the Middle East. Her subsequent professional career includes a role as Children’s Rights Commissioner for Oxfordshire, set up in response to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. She lives in Oxford, UK. Bread and Henna is her travel-writing debut.
