The Importance of Elsewhere: The Globalist Humanist Tourist
Randy Malamud
Why do we travel? What are we doing—and what do we imagine we are doing—when we leave the house, get on a plane, and thereby step into globalism?The Importance of Elsewhereis a collection of essays, rooted in Randy Malamud’s own lifetime of travel, that addresses those questions and more. Setting today’s tourism in the context of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century experiences of travel and travel writing, he uncovers motives and appreciations of movement, difference, and novelty that are deeply woven into the imperial enterprise—and that remain key drivers of our interest in and enjoyment of travel today. Marrying concrete case studies and lively personal anecdotes,The Importance of Elsewherewill be of interest to any global traveler who has ever stopped to wonder what it is that draws her to faraway places.
