""Safar/Voyager features a selction of contemporary artwork by Arab, Iranian, and Turkish artists. The ground-breaking text, illustrated with more than fifty colour photographs, archival photographs, and a map of the region, explores themes of migration, dislocation, and changing identities, addressing the impact ofwar and revolution on individual communities and culture in this highly contested region of the world. Echoing the title, the internationally acclaimed curator Fereshteh Daftari constructs a journey through the work of the eighteen artists featured in the book. Political geographer Derek Gregory questions the West's assumptions about the Middle East by asking 'Middle of what? East of where?' Offering a counterpoint to Western travelers exoticizing the Middle East, historian Naghmeh Sohrabi examines the experiences of nineteenth-century travellers from the Middle East to the West. Canadian Lebanese artist Jayce Salloum offers a visual essay that responds to the themes of voyage and dislocation.""
