Between Worlds

This book is an edited and annotated translation of Tarikh-i-Yusufi by Yusuf Khan Kammal Posh (c. 1830-90) who travelled to several places in north Africa and Europe. Translated for the first time from Urdu to English, it describes in detail the socio-economic conditions of Europe and contrasts it with the conditions in areas under European control. By highlighting this duality of approach with respect to the colonies, this translation reverses the gaze
and exposes the reader to a non-European perception of the Imperial world.
