description It is generally assumed that contemporary religious identities in Yemen are more or less equally divided between two Islamic sects: Shiite Zaydism and Sunni Shafeism.

The opposition between these two identities has gradually led the way to a process of convergence, that can’t be considered mere “sunnification”. This convergence is mainly linked to the spread of Islamic Reform movements and the growing individualization and marketization of religious practices.
