The color of one's skin and passport have long dictated the conditions of travel.  For Shahnaz Habib, travel and travel writing have always been complicated pleasures. Habib threads the history of travel with her personal story as a child on family vacations in India, an adult curious about the world, and an immigrant for whom roundtrips are an annual fact of life. Tracing the power dynamics that underlie tourism, this insightful debut parses who gets to travel, and who gets to write about the experience. 
 
 
 
Threaded through the book are inviting and playful analyses of obvious and not-so-obvious travel artifacts: passports, carousels, bougainvilleas, guidebooks, trains, the idea of wanderlust itself. Together, they tell a subversive history of travel as a Euro-American mode of consumerism—but as any traveler knows, travel is more than that. As an immigrant whose loved ones live across continents, Habib takes a deeply curious and joyful look at a troubled and beloved activity.

Over the course of fourteen years, they trained church leaders with the International School of Ministry video curriculum, provided clean water to rural communities, and ran a mobile clinic while establishing a home for children orphaned by rebel warfare in Northern Uganda. Initially resistant to the idea of taking on the continual care of so many orphans, their Otino Waa Children's Village soon became home to hundreds of children.

    Virgil’s The Aeneid is a Roman epic that tells the legendary journey of Aeneas, a Trojan hero destined to found a new civilization in Italy after the fall of Troy. Guided by fate and the gods, Aeneas sails through storms, battles, and heartbreak, including a tragic love affair with Dido, Queen of Carthage. Upon reaching Latium, he faces war with local tribes, led by Turnus, to fulfill his destiny. Blending Homeric adventure with Roman ideals of duty, piety, and empire, the poem glorifies Rome’s origins and the divine mission of its people. Rich in emotional depth and political vision, The Aeneid is both a national epic and a profound meditation on sacrifice, leadership, and the cost of destiny.
