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.

游民旅游和非殖民的欧洲目光:卡齐米兹·诺瓦克1931-1936年的非洲自行车之旅

摘要1931年11月至1936年11月，波兰公民Kazimierz Nowak穿越非洲大陆，从利比亚到开普敦再到阿尔及尔，主要是骑自行车，几乎完全不使用机动交通工具。在没有主要赞助商或国家支持的情况下，诺瓦克通过将大量照片和急件寄回波兰出版来支付他的旅行费用。这篇文章认为，他在这些报道中对殖民主义和资本主义的批判性凝视是由于他作为一个贫穷的流浪游客的旅行方式，以及他作为一名来自非洲没有殖民地国家的欧洲人的地位。

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.
