The juxtaposition of terms like "Muslim," "women," "travel," and "global" prompts questions about practices such as veiling, male guardianship, and access to halal food. These assumptions are often rooted in colonial or Orientalist views about Muslim women. The book "Three Centuries of Travel Writing by Muslim Women" (edited with Daniel Majchrowicz and Sunil Sharma, 2022), presents a diverse collection of travel writings by Muslim women spanning three centuries and ten languages. Please join us to learn more about the wide range of individuals, from queens and reformers to pilgrims and converts, who traversed the globe from the 17th to the mid-20th century. By examining historical sources from a gendered perspective, Prof. Lambert-Hurley explores how South Asian Muslim women used food in their travel writings to distinguish between self and other, shedding light on the role of alimentary identities in shaping colonialism, postcoloniality, nationalism, and globalization.
