Abstract
ABSTRACT From November 1931 to November 1936, the Polish citizen Kazimierz Nowak traversed the African continent, from Libya to Cape Town to Algiers, primarily by bicycle and almost entirely without using motorised transportation. With no major sponsors or state support, Nowak paid for his journey by sending numerous photographs and dispatches back to Poland for publication. This article argues that his critical gaze on colonialism and capitalism in those dispatches arose due to his method of travel as a poor, vagabond tourist and because of his position as a European from a country without colonies in Africa.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Tourism History is the primary venue for peer-reviewed scholarship covering all aspects of the evolution of tourism from earliest times to the postwar world. Articles address all regions of the globe and often adopt interdisciplinary approaches for exploring the past. The Journal of Tourism History is particularly (though not exclusively) interested in promoting the study of areas and subjects underrepresented in current scholarship, work for example examining the history of tourism in Asia and Africa, as well as developments that took place before the nineteenth century. In addition to peer-reviewed articles, Journal of Tourism History also features short articles about particularly useful archival collections, book reviews, review essays, and round table discussions that explore developing areas of tourism scholarship. The Editorial Board hopes that these additions will prompt further exploration of issues such as the vectors along which tourism spread, the evolution of specific types of ‘niche’ tourism, and the intersections of tourism history with the environment, medicine, politics, and more.
