Synopsis

In "Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al-Madinah & Meccah," Richard Francis Burton offers an evocative and richly detailed account of his journey to the heart of Islamic devotion. Written in an engagingly vivid literary style, Burton's work transcends mere travelogue, as he delves into the cultural and spiritual dimensions of the pilgrimage, intertwining his personal reflections with extensive ethnographic observations. The volumes, steeped in the 19th-century imperial context, capture the intricacies of the Islamic pilgrimage while simultaneously critiquing Western perceptions of the East. Burton, a polymath and a renowned explorer, was fascinated by the cultures and languages of the regions he traversed. His extensive background in linguistics and Islam shaped his profound insights into the cultural norms and religious fervor surrounding the pilgrimage. His adventurous spirit and experiences as a British consul in various parts of the Muslim world allowed him to approach the subject matter with a unique blend of respect and curiosity, making his insights both authentic and provocative. This compelling narrative is highly recommended for readers interested in religious studies, travel literature, and intercultural dialogue. Burton's work not only serves as a historical document but also invites contemplation of faith and identity, making it a significant and enriching read for scholars and casual readers alike.

    Don't just see the sights—get to know the people. 
    Set in Africa, but not wholly African; an isolated nation, yet receptive to the outside world; hierarchical and conservative, yet innovative and desirous of modernity; conformist as a people, and fiercely independent as individuals? The Ethiopian identity defies definition. Ethiopia exists simultaneously in different time periods. Its people, when they see something new that might work to their advantage, will embrace it and find ways to improve on it. Modern democracy, however, has understandably been slower to bloom given the strong historical antecedents of its monarchy. 
    Culture Smart! Ethiopia unpacks the values, attitudes, and traditions of this culturally rich nation. Etiquette in daily life, socializing, and communicating are all helpfully described, and advice is given on how to make the most of a visit. Above all, it provides the tools to do so in a considerate and sensitive manner. 
    Have a richer and more meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and traditions will help you to better understand your hosts, while tips on etiquette and communicating will help you to navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.
