This groundbreaking book is the first sustained anthropological inquiry into the idea of remote areas. Shafqat Hussain examines the surprisingly diverse ways the people of Hunza, a remote independent state in Pakistan, have been viewed by outsiders over the past century. He also explores how the Hunza people perceived British colonialists, Pakistani state officials, modern-day Westerners, and others, and how the local people used their remote status strategically, ensuring their own interests were served as they engaged with the outside world.

This book examines how the growth of tourism in locations that have historically been considered geographically remote plays a major role in the consolidation and transformation of often longstanding and powerful cultural imaginaries about ‘the edges of the world’. The contributors examine the attraction of the sublime, remoteness, continental border-points, and the dangers of the sea in Finisterre (or Fisterra) in Galicia (Spain); Finistère in Brittany (France); Land’s End, Cornwall (England); Lough Derg (Ireland); Nordkapp or North Cape (Norway); Cape Spear, Newfoundland (Canada); and Tierra del Fuego (Argentina). While those travelling to these locations can be seen to be conducting some form of religious or secular pilgrimage, those who live in them have long contended with the implications of economic and political marginalization within global political economies.

Le monumental chef d’œuvre que publie Elisée Reclus (1830-1905) dans les dernières années de sa vie constitue un événement éditorial majeur de la vie scientifique et politique du début du XXe siècle. Grande fresque historique sur l’évolution et le devenir de l’Humanité, cette réflexion originale s’inscrit autant dans la formalisation d’une géographie humaine détachée des sciences naturelles et dont Elisée Reclus est l’un des pères fondateurs un peu oubliés, que dans l’élaboration d’une pensée politique anarchiste et libertaire. En dépit de son importance, ce testament intellectuel n’était jusqu’à présent disponible que sous forme d’extraits. Cette réédition intégrale permet ainsi de combler une lacune éditoriale alors même que la figure d’Elisée Reclus connaît, depuis une dizaine d’années, un regain d’intérêt, tant parmi les chercheurs que chez le grand public.
