Synopsis

Based on over a decade of original archival research, this book shows how travelogues in Urdu gave voice to a global imagination that reflected the ambition and aspiration of Indians and Pakistanis as they negotiated their place in the changing world of the nineteenth century. In this interdisciplinary study, the author 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 world. Notably, the book highlights the role of women writers in the production of global imagination in Urdu and emphasises the role of the language in Asia and Africa.
