FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description “. . . brings new insights into the colonial relationship while challenging the unspoken temptation that this was a distinctly European period.” -Simon GikandiOther Routes collects important primary work by travel writers from Asia and Africa in English translation. An introduction by Tabish Khair discusses travel literature as a genre, the perception of travel and writing about travel as a European privilege, and the emergence of new writings that show that travel has been a human occupation that crosses time and culture. This original and significant book will interest armchair travelers and others in views of people and places away from the European travelers gaze.Selections include “The Travels of a Japanese Monk” (c. 838), “Al-Abdari, the Disgruntled Traveller” (c. 1290), “A Korean Officials Account of China” (1488), “The Poetry of Bashos Road” (1689), “Malabari: A Love-Hate Affair with the British” (1890). Author Biography Tabish Khair teaches at the University of Aarhus, Denmark. Justin D. Edwards is an associate professor at Copenhagen University, Denmark. Martin Leer is an associate professor at Copenhagen University, Denmark. Hanna Ziadeh is a Lebanese writer and translator who lives in Denmark.

Review Quote “The editors offer 33 carefully excerpted travel accounts that range chronologically from the 5th century CE . . . to the late 19th century . . . . The volume includes a literary foreword by Amitav Ghosh and a lucid and scholarly introduction by Khair. Each of these highly readable travel accounts is preceded by an informative editorial overview that looks at the traveler, the land through which the traveler journeys, and the purpose of travel (commerce, enlightenment, conversion, etc.). . . . Highly recommended.”– Choice “Hoping to mitigate the almost total erasure of non–European travel accounts that results in a Eurocentric view of the globe, Khair (Univ. of Aarhus, Denmark) and his fellow editors showcase travel writing by international travelers of Asian and African origin. The editors offer 33 carefully excerpted travel accounts that range chronologically from the 5th century CE (Three Chinese Scholars Go West to India) to the late 19th century (Malabari: A Love–Hate Affair with the British). They organize these writings under broad categories: pilgrimages, studies, autobiographies, diaries, and memoirs, and travel accounts. Although many of these extracts will be well known to scholars of travel literature–e.g., the writings of Olaudah Equiano, Sake Dean Mahomed, Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta, and Matsuo Basho–numerous others are relatively unknown in the West and appear in some cases for the first time in English. The volume includes a literary foreword by Amitav Ghosh and a lucid and scholarly introduction by Khair. Each of these highly readable travel accounts is preceded by an informative editorial overview that looks at the traveler, the land through which the traveler journeys, and the purpose of travel (commerce, enlightenment, conversion, etc.). Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower–division undergraduates through faculty. –Choice, Nov. 2006”–M. W. Cox, University of Pittsburgh Promotional “Headline” Opens the reader to a new world of travel writing.
