The travelers include a missionary, artist, scientist, rabbi, merchant, adventurer and soldier. The focus is on the encounter between people of different cultures, and the chapters analyze the travelers' accounts to elucidate how strangers and locals perceived each other, and how the experiences shaped their perceptions of themselves. Cultural encounter is among the most important challenges of our time, a time of global migration and instant communication. Today, as in the past, history provides a valuable tool for illuminating the human experience, and this scholarly work stimulates us to contemplate the challenge of cultural encounter, for it affects us all. 4aIntercultural communication zYemen (Republic) xHistory y19th century. 4aYemen (Republic) xDescription and travel. 4aYemen (Republic) xHistory y19th century.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oDS247.Y42 M35 2021pPNLIB21062892r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c3079d3079
