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 Elsewhere is 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 Elsewhere will be
of interest to any global traveler who has ever stopped to wonder
what it is that draws her to faraway places.
