Week 5 | Travel and Pilgrimage
Travelers, students, pilgrims, and explorers often crossed the Saharan Desert to visit the sacred Kaaba, exchange valuable goods and ideas, or learn more about other worlds. These itinerant individuals connected towns and communities across the Sahara by delivering news and goods from one town to another, encountering various travelers on their journeys, and interacting with fellow Muslims from different regions during their pilgrimages. This week, we will track the movements of these people and explore the interconnectivity among regions spanning from the west coast of Africa to the Middle East.
We will delve into the journeys of four travelers between Africa and the Middle East, spanning distinct historical periods: Mansa Musa, Ibn Battuta, Leo Africanus, and Mary Kingsley. According to Barbara Krasner, Mansa Musa's pilgrimage from Mali to Mecca in the 14th century not only left a deep impression on his contemporaries but also solidified Islam's position in West Africa. In the same era, Ibn Battuta embarked on a journey from his birthplace in Tangier to Mecca, later extending his travels to India and China. Interestingly, he visited Mansa Musa's court during his travels. Natalie Davis's book presents fascinating chapters about Leo Africanus, who lived two centuries after Mansa Musa and Ibn Battuta and led a dramatic life straddling Islamic, Arab, and European cultures and religions. Lastly, Katharina Nambula's book chapter on Mary Kingsley at the end of the 19th century provides a comprehensive overview of an independent female explorer who had a significant impact on British colonial encounters.
