I år 1761 begav den danske videnskabsmand Carsten Niebuhr sig sammen med fire kolleger ud på en videnskabelig ekspedition til Ægypten, Arabien og Syrien – ekspeditionen fik navnet Den arabiske rejse. I løbet af de sidste par hundrede år er meget forandret ved de lande, som Carsten Niebuhr som den eneste vendte tilbage fra, og samtidig er meget forblevet det samme. I år 2010 følger dansk-muslimske Nina Rasmussen i hans fodspor gennem det land, der i dag hedder Yemen. Det er noget af en udfordring at rejse alene som kvinde gennem det religiøst konservative Yemen, men undervejs åbner befolkningen deres hjerter og hemmeligheder for hende. Hun møder de tilslørede kvinder, der skjuler drømme om overdådige prinsessekjoler under de uformelige kjoler, vi ser fattigdommen bag de velpolerede facader og romantiske og erotiske længsler, der ikke lader sig undertrykke af religionen. Den danske forfatter og eventyrer Nina Rasmussen (f. 1942) debuterede i 1983 med rejsebeskrivelsen "Held og lykke", som fortæller historien om et spændende år med familien på motorcykel gennem Sydamerika. Bogen er ligesom mange andre skrevet sammen med Nina Rasmussens mand, Hjalte Tin. Mange af hendes senere bøger handler om hendes egne rejser i den arabiske verden, efter hun i 2006 konverterede til islam.

Heart Like a Fakir is a history of the final forty years of British East India Company rule in India as witnessed by General Sir James Abbott (1807–1896), the man for whom the Pakistani town of Abbottabad is named. Based on extensive research into primary source documents, the book uses the life of General Sir James Abbott as a narrative thread to explore the troubled period between William Dalrymple’s White Moghuls and the Indian Rebellion of 1857. General Sir James Abbott was one of the most remarkable characters in British colonial history, becoming Great Britain’s first guerilla leader, the first Briton to reach the fabled Central Asian city of Khiva, and a British Deputy Commissioner who became the King of Hazara. He may have also been the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling’s The Man Who Would Be King and the character of Mr. Kurtz in Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness. This book chronicles the remarkable collapse of the social contract between Britons and the peoples of India in the first half of the nineteenth century, taking a fresh look at British perceptions of race, gender, and the nature of social and sexual relationships between them, leading up to the Great Rebellion of 1857— the cataclysm that ended British East India Company rule.

Presenting a critical, yet innovative, perspective on the cultural interactions between the "East" and the "West", this book questions the role of travel in the production of knowledge and in the construction of the idea of the "Islamic city". This volume brings together authors from various disciplines, questioning the role of Western travel writing in the production of knowledge about the East, particularly focusing on the cities of the Muslim world. Instead of concentrating on a specific era, chapters span the Medieval and Modern eras in order to present the transformation of both the idea of the "Islamic city" and also the act of traveling and travel writing. Missions to the East, whether initiated by military, religious, economic, scientific, diplomatic or touristic purposes, resulted in a continuous construction, de-construction and re-construction of the "self" and the "other". Including travel accounts, which depicted cities, extending from Europe to Asia and from Africa to Arabia, chapters epitomize the construction of the "Orient" via textual or visual representations. By examining various tools of representation such as drawings, paintings, cartography, and photography in depicting the urban landscape in constant flux, the book emphasizes the role of the mobile individual in defining city space and producing urban culture. Scrutinising the role of travellers in producing the image of the world we know today, this book is recommended for researchers, scholars and students of Middle Eastern Studies, Cultural Studies, Architecture and Urbanism.

A Longman–History Today Book Prize Finalist Winner of the Thomas J. Wilson Memorial Prize A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year “Deeply thoughtful...A delight.” —The Economist “[A] tour de force...Bevilacqua’s extraordinary book provides the first true glimpse into this story...He, like the tradition he describes, is a rarity.” —New Republic In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a pioneering community of Western scholars laid the groundwork for the modern understanding of Islamic civilization. They produced the first accurate translation of the Qur’an, mapped Islamic arts and sciences, and wrote Muslim history using Arabic sources. The Republic of Arabic Letters is the first account of this riveting lost period of cultural exchange, revealing the profound influence of Catholic and Protestant intellectuals on the Enlightenment understanding of Islam. “A closely researched and engrossing study of...those scholars who, having learned Arabic, used their mastery of that difficult language to interpret the Quran, study the career of Muhammad...and introduce Europeans to the masterpieces of Arabic literature.” —Robert Irwin, Wall Street Journal “Fascinating, eloquent, and learned, The Republic of Arabic Letters reveals a world later lost, in which European scholars studied Islam with a sense of affinity and respect...A powerful reminder of the ability of scholarship to transcend cultural divides, and the capacity of human minds to accept differences without denouncing them.” —Maya Jasanoff “What makes his study so groundbreaking, and such a joy to read, is the connection he makes between intellectual history and the material history of books.” —Financial Times

The history of anthropology has been written from multiple viewpoints, often from perspectives of gender, nationality, theory, or politics. Before Boas delves deeper into issues concerning anthropology’s academic origins to present a groundbreaking study that reveals how ethnography and ethnology originated during the eighteenth rather than the nineteenth century, developing parallel to anthropology, or the “natural history of man.” Han F. Vermeulen explores primary and secondary sources from Russia, Germany, Austria, the United States, the Netherlands, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, and Great Britain in tracing how “ethnography” originated as field research by German-speaking historians and naturalists in Siberia (Russia) during the 1730s and 1740s, was generalized as “ethnology” by scholars in Göttingen (Germany) and Vienna (Austria) during the 1770s and 1780s, and was subsequently adopted by researchers in other countries. Before Boas argues that anthropology and ethnology were separate sciences during the Age of Reason, studying racial and ethnic diversity, respectively. Ethnography and ethnology focused not on “other” cultures but on all peoples of all eras. Following G. W. Leibniz, researchers in these fields categorized peoples primarily according to their languages. Franz Boas professionalized the holistic study of anthropology from the 1880s into the twentieth century.

*** Danish Historical Society Award Winner (2018) “Historical research result of the year” *** Mutiny in the Danish Atlantic World discusses how the storytelling of the lower classes shaped antagonisms and struggles for agency in the early modern Atlantic. It takes a mutiny carried out by a group of convicts and sailors on board a Danish ship, the Merman, in 1683 as its central case study. En route to Denmark's Caribbean colony of St. Thomas, the mutineers seized the ship, murdered the captain and six others and elected a former convict as their new leader. This event brought the West India Company to the brink of destruction and changed the course of the fledgling Danish maritime empire forever. Arguing that the mutiny on the Merman was informed by stories and rumour that circulated on both sides of the Atlantic and echoed on the lower deck of the ship itself, Johan Heinsen explores the role of such stories in the social worlds of early modern colonialism. He argues that sites such as ships, colonies and even prisons resonated with words, paying particular attention to how such storytelling created bonds and enabled action. In making the point that historians should pay careful attention to the power of the words of colonial and maritime lower class subjects, Heinsen draws on comparable cases across the early modern seas. Heinsen's study brings the Danish Empire to a new Anglophone audience, expanding our knowledge of the Atlantic world. It brings a fascinating new perspective to topics such as the history of penal transportation, coerced labour and historiographies of storytelling and rumour, making it an important book for students and scholars of Atlantic, maritime, imperial and global labour history.

"Den gamle sti har ført mig helt ned til Midal, der er nutidens navn for det gamle Magdala. En arabisk hyrde står mellem kvæget på den stenede græsslette og morer sig med fra tid til anden at kaste sten ud i Genezareth sø. Da han er blevet træt af dette tidsfordriv, går han et stykke op i terrænet, hvor han har anbragt en transistorradio. Han stiller ind på senderen i det jordanske Amman og klagende arabiske toner lyder ud over den stenede grund, der engang husede de boliger i Magdala, som Jesus og Peter og Maria Magdalene må have kendt så godt." I disse rejsebeskrivelser vandrer Arne Falk-Rønne i apostlen Peters fodspor helt til Hermonbjergets skråninger, hvor Jesus udtalte de afgørende ord: "Du er Petrus... dig vil jeg give Himmeriges nøgler." Vi kommer med til Johannes Døberens dåbssted ved Jordanfloden, bor på ørkenklostre, leder efter Peters grav blandt Kedrons dals tusind grave, og med Arne Falk-Rønne som guide er det næsten som at være der selv. Arne Falk-Rønne (1920-1992) var en dansk forfatter, journalist, rejseleder og eventyrer. Han har udgivet både rejsehåndbøger og rejsebeskrivelser, og slog for alvor igennem internationalt med en række værker, hvor han følger i flere bibelske personers fodspor. Heraf kan nævnes "Abrahams vej til Kanaáns land" (1971), "Moses' vej gennem ørkenen (1973) og "Du er Peter - en rejse i apostelen Peters fodspor" (1976).
