The pilgrimage to Mecca, or Hajj, is a unique aspect of Islam. It
is also a remarkable logistic feat for the Saudi Kingdom. How does
this annual event combine with the transformations of the modern
world? In this short book the author charts the changes that have
altered the Hajj from the ancient camel caravans to the
contemporary motorised and air conditioned pilgrimage it is today.
Looking at historic accounts, politics, health, transportation, and
the experiences of Muslims living in Britain, this work provides a
nuanced overview of the contiguity of the Hajj. This book is an
excellent introduction to the broad scope of issues that Hajj
studies entail. It is of interest to those curious about the
pilgrimage, and an asset to specialists with its rich array of
sources and interpretation.
