FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Travel writing has, for centuries, composed an essential historical record and wide-ranging literary form, reflecting the rich diversity of travel as a social and cultural practice, metaphorical process, and driver of globalization. This interdisciplinary volume brings together anthropologists, literary scholars, social historians, and other scholars to illuminate travel writing in all its forms. With studies ranging from colonial adventurism to the legacies of the Holocaust, The Long Journey offers a unique dual focus on experience and genre as it applies to three key realms: memory and trauma, confrontations with the Other, and the cultivation of cultural perspective. Author Biography Maria Pia Di Bella is a senior research scholar at IRIS-EHESS, Paris and Research Affiliate at the Harvard Divinity School. She is co-founder and co-editor of the journal Journeys: The International Journal of Travel and Travel Writing.
