But while Western travel is associated with a pioneering spirit of discovery, the dominant image of Muslim mobility is the jihadi who travels not to learn but to destroy. Journeys to the Other Shore challenges these stereotypes by charting the common ways in which Muslim and Western travelers negotiate the dislocation of travel to unfamiliar and strange worlds. In Roxanne Euben's groundbreaking excursion across cultures, geography, history, genre, and genders, travel signifies not only a physical movement across lands and cultures, but also an imaginative journey in which wonder about those who live differently makes it possible to see the world differently. In the book we meet not only Herodotus but also Ibn Battuta, the fourteenth-century Moroccan traveler. Tocqueville's journeys are set against a five-year sojourn in nineteenth-century Paris by the Egyptian writer and translator Rifa'a Rafi' al-Tahtawi, and Montesquieu's novel Persian Letters meets with the memoir of an East African princess, Sayyida Salme. This extraordinary book shows that curiosity about the unknown, the quest to understand foreign cultures, critical distance from one's own world, and the desire to remake the foreign into the familiar are not the monopoly of any single civilization or epoch. Euben demonstrates that the fluidity of identities, cultures, and borders associated with our postcolonial, globalized world has a long history--one shaped not only by Western power but also by an Islamic ethos of travel in search of knowledge. 410 0$aPrinceton studies in Muslim politics. 606 $aTravel, Medieval 606 $aVoyages and travels 606 $aTravelers$zArab countries 606 $aTravelers$zEurope 606 $aEast and West 615 0$aTravel, Medieval. 615 0$aVoyages and travels. 615 0$aTravelers 615 0$aTravelers 615 0$aEast and West. 676 $a910.4 700 $aEuben$b Roxanne Leslie$f1966-$01043380 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910345145903321 996 $aJourneys to the other shore$92468313 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04120nam 2200721 a 450 001 9910145964603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-03321-2 010 $a9786612033216 010 $a0-8330-4636-5 035 $a(CKB)1000000000718893 035 $a(EBL)423171 035 $a(OCoLC)476261212 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000134744 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11147981 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000134744 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10076876 035 $a(PQKB)11696745 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC423171 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4970017 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4970017 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL203321 035 $a(OCoLC)1027164475 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000718893 100 $a20080606d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aDangerous thresholds $emanaging escalation in the 21st century /$fForrest E.
