Charting connected histories, fictive kinships, and pluralistic visions of sublime beauty, Daniel Majchrowicz draws new maps of the subcontinent and the world that are dynamic and expansive, yet intimate. This essential guide to the Urdu travelogue hinges on a truth captured by the great Urdu poet Mir: “sarsar? tum jah?ñ se guzre, varnah har j? jah?n-e d?gar th?” (You breezed through the world without noticing, but each place was a world of its own). The sheer delight of exploring these worlds with Majchrowicz will lead readers to the ends of the earth and back—with no jet-lag whatsoever.'

In this interdisciplinary study, author Daniel Majchrowicz traces the social and literary history of the Urdu travelogue from 1840 to 1990 in six chronological chapters. Each chapter asks how travel writers used the genre to give meaning to the shifting social and political realities of their colonial and postcolonial worlds. The book particularly highlights the role of women writers in the production of a global imagination in Urdu with an emphasis on travel writing on Asia and Africa.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Note on Translation and Transliteration\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Part I: 1.
