Description

Imperial Mecca explores the complex history of Ottoman Arabia and the Indian Ocean Hajj. This volume from the Columbia Studies in International and Global History series examines how the advent of the steamship changed oceanic pilgrimages to Mecca. It details how repeated outbreaks of cholera transformed travel into a vehicle for the globalization of epidemic diseases. The book also analyzes the political tensions of the era, specifically how European colonial empires, such as the British Indian officials, sought to control Hajj travel. These officials feared that lengthy stays in Arabia could expose Muslim subjects to anticolonial dissidents and pan-Islamic activists. This work provides a deep look at how the ability to set travel terms challenged the Ottoman Empire and affected millions of pilgrims.
