Download or read book Down the Nile written by Rosemary Mahoney and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2007-07-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosemary Mahoney was determined to take a solo trip down the Egyptian Nile in a small boat, even though civil unrest and vexing local traditions conspired to create obstacles every step of the way. Starting off in the south, she gained the unlikely sympathy and respect of a Muslim sailor, who provided her with both a seven-foot skiff and a window into the culturally and materially impoverished lives of rural Egyptians. Egyptian women don't row on the Nile, and tourists aren't allowed to for safety's sake. Mahoney endures extreme heat during the day, and a terror of crocodiles while alone in her boat at night. Whether she's confronting deeply held beliefs about non-Muslim women, finding connections to past chroniclers of the Nile, or coming to the dramaticm realization that fear can engender unwarranted violence, Rosemary Mahoney's informed curiosity about the world, her glorious prose, and her wit never fail to captivate.
Download or read book Consuming Tradition Manufacturing Heritage written by Nezar Alsayyad and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Grand Tour to today's packages holidays, the last two centuries have witnessed an exponential growth in travel and tourism and, as the twenty-first century unfolds, people of every class and from every country will be wandering to every part of the planet. Meanwhile tourist destinations throughout the world find themselves in ever more fierce competition - those places marginalized in today's global industrial and information economy perceiving tourism as perhaps the only means of surviving. But mass tourism has raised the local and international passions as people decry the irreversible destruction of traditional places and historic sites. Against these trends and at a time when standardized products and services are marketed worldwide, there is an increasing demand for built environments that promise unique cultural experiences. This has led many nations and groups to engage in the parallel processes of facilitating the consumption of tradition and of manufacturing tradition. The contributors to this volume - drawn from a wide range of disciplines - address these themes within the following sections: Traditions and Tourism: Rethinking the "Other"; Imaging and Manufacturing Heritage; Manufacturing and Consuming: Global and Local. Their studies, dealing with very different times, environments and geographic locales, will shed new light on how tourist 'gaze' transforms the reality of built spaces into cultural imagery.
Download or read book Histories for the Many written by Doris Lechner and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2016-12-31 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Histories for the Many examines the contribution of illustrated family magazines to Victorian historical culture. How, by whom, for whom and with which intentions was history used within this popular medium? How were class, gender, age, religion, and space debated? How were academic and popular approaches to the past linked to the materiality of the medium? The focus is set on the evangelical Leisure Hour with comparisons to the London Journal, Good Words and Cornhill. The study's approach to the serialisation of history in text and image combines periodical studies and book history with concepts from cultural studies, sociology as well as narratology.

Download or read book Americans in Egypt 1770 1915 written by Cassandra Vivian and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The voices of Americans have long been absent from studies of modern Egypt. Most scholars assume that Americans were either not in Egypt in significant numbers during the nineteenth century or had little of importance to say. This volume shows that neither was the case by introducing and relating the experiences and attitudes of 15 American personalities who worked, lived, or traveled in Egypt from the 1770s to the commencement of World War I. Often in their own words, explorers, consuls, tourists, soldiers, missionaries, artists, scientists, and scholars offer a rare American perspective on everyday Egyptian life and provide a new perspective on many historically significant events. The stories of these individuals and their sojourns not only recount the culture and history of Egypt but also convey the domination of the country by European powers and the support for Egypt by a young American nation.

Download or read book A Journey to Central Africa Egypt and Soudan 1851 written by Bayard Taylor and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times published his obituary on its front page, referring to him as "a great traveler, both on land and paper." He was a poet, literary critic, translator, and a travel writer of great renown. This is his magisterial account of his voyage up the Nile through Egypt and the Sudan in 1851. Though many 19th century writers wrote about Egypt, Taylor captured exquisite details of life and antiquities and he went much farther up the Nile than most writers. Considered one of the premier travel writers of his day, he was known to the wide public and to many of his famous contemporaries. If you've been to Egypt, you'll treasure his descriptions of familiar places. If you've never been, he'll take you along. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.
