On returning, she wrote this witty, acerbic account of her journey. In it, we glimpse a process by which notions of the self could be redefined against a Muslim \"other\" in the colonial environment. Sikandar Begum emerges as a genuinely complex individual, crafting an image of herself as an effective administrator, a loyal subject, and a good Muslim. Siobhan Lambert-Hurley's critical introduction and afterword make this edition a comprehensive resource on travel writing by South Asian Muslim women, colonialism, and world history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51703634985248,"sku":"NEW0253220033","price":27.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71XC2Ia-1XL_12bb83d8-0eae-4738-a886-a76ebac9c9e2.jpg?v=1779390898","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-princesss-pilgrimage-nawab-sikandar-begums-a-pilgrimage-to-mecca-0253220033","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
