Omschrijving
[A] fresh perspective on travels to the Holy Land.
[A] fresh perspective on travels to the Holy Land.
The book is the outcome of interdisciplinary research on the popularization of tourism at the turn to the twentieth century. What makes it unique is the fact that it is not based on publications by foreign travellers but in contrast reflects the perspective of a native guide working in the Middle East. Documenting his personal impressions and strategies, it reveals a role-model of a marginalized group of people, which significantly contributed to this process. The book is a must for everyone interested in the development of intercultural relations.
This book offers a fascinating insight into the life of a dragoman and it will be of great value to historians of travel and anyone with an interest in this fascinating region.
This treasure trove of personal endorsements, from tourists of different nationalities, religions and social classes, tell a story of a remarkable life.
Rachel Mairs is Lecturer in Classics, University of Reading, UK. She has published widely on the archaeology and culture of the near east and Egypt, including The Hellenistic Far East: Archaeology, Language and Identity in Greek Central Asia (2014) and, with Maya Muratov, Archaeologists, Tourists, Interpreters: Exploring Egypt and the Near East in the late 19th-early 20th Centuries (Bloomsbury, 2015).
