"Starting with the first 13th-century mention to the present, this transnational history engages with scholarship of an impressive chronological and geographical scope. The book would be as appropriate in a course on contemporary Islam as it would on Southeast Asian history...A concise, erudite monograph."--CHOICE"The book's aims are all resoundingly realised, and it performs a successful role in its contribution to the history of the Hajj, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, as well as its contribution in analysing the complexity of humanity's experience that is bound up within these parameters. Taken together, these make a large contribution to even broader canvases--the history of Muslim societies across the world, the history of pilgrimage, and histories where wesee the intersection and collision between trade, commerce, travel, ritual, devotion, polities, empires, elites, ordinary men and women, states, and memories .This is a triumph of scholarship .TheLongest Journey is essential reading for people who want to see how state-of-the-art world history is crafted and executed."--John Slight, Reviews in History"In this brilliant and evocative study, Eric Tagliacozzo brings to life what is perhaps one of the most significant long-distance circulations of people for a common purpose in history: the Indian Ocean pilgrimage to Mecca. Drawing upon research of breath-taking geographical range and depth, Tagliacozzo charts how the hajj embedded itself in the rhythms of diverse Indian Ocean societies and spurred the movement of texts and ideas, trade and wealth, politics andlaw, across many centuries and vast distances. He charts the dangers, opportunities and spiritual elation of these voyages through the written and oral testimonies of pilgrims themselves, alongsidethe fear and fascination that the hajj has exerted on non-Muslims from colonial times. The Longest Journey is a work unflagging insight; a major contribution to the practice of world history, it captures the experience of the 'transnational' in a most vital and compelling way."--Tim Harper, University of Cambridge"Over five centuries, millions of Southeast Asian Muslims have undertaken the 'longest journey' to Mecca, in fulfillment of the fifth pillar of their faith. Drawing on a range of rich and diverse sources-including precolonial Malay histories, colonial reports, personal memoirs, and popular memories--Eric Tagliacozzo has woven an epic story of these journeys and their political, economic, spiritual, medical, and institutional underpinnings. As necessary as it isambitious, The Longest Journey is an eminently readable account of continuities and transformations of the Hajj in Southeast Asia during the colonial and postcolonial eras."--Mary Margaret Steedly,author of Rifle Reports: A Story of Indonesian Independence"The Longest Journey is also the most enjoyable. In this wondrously documented, lyrically mellifluous text, one grasps the Hajj, or annual Muslim pilgrimage, as a multi-faceted social institution. While its religious motivations are evident, no less critical are its commercial as well as political relevance to the multiple Muslim communities of Southeast Asia."--Bruce Lawrence, author of The Qur'an: A Biography, "Starting with the first 13th-century mention to the present, this transnational history engages with scholarship of an impressive chronological and geographical scope.

Synopsis
The pilgrimage to Mecca, or Hajj, has been a yearly phenomenon of great importance in Muslim lands for well over one thousand years. Each year, millions of pilgrims from throughout the Dar al-Islam, or Islamic world, stretching from Morocco east to Indonesia, make the trip to Mecca as one of the five pillars of their faith. By the end of the nineteenth century, and the beginning of the twentieth, fully half of all pilgrims making the journey in any given year could come from Southeast Asia. The Longest Journey , spanning eleven modern nation-states and seven centuries, is the first book to offer a history of the Hajj from one of Islam's largest and most important regions., The pilgrimage to Mecca, or Hajj, has been a yearly phenomenon of great importance in Muslim lands for well over one thousand years. Each year, millions of pilgrims from throughout the Dar al-Islam, or Islamic world, stretching from Morocco east to Indonesia, make the trip to Mecca as one of the five pillars of their faith. Records for this practice show that the majority of pilgrims in Islam's earliest centuries came from surrounding polities, such as Syria, Egypt, and Iraq. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century, and the beginning of the twentieth, fully half of all pilgrims making the journey in any one year could come from Southeast Asia. This is astonishing because of the distances traveled; sailing ships, and later huge steamers as described in Joseph Conrad's Lord Jim, plodded across the length of the Indian Ocean to disgorge pilgrims on Arabian docks. Yet the huge numbers of Southeast Asian pilgrims may be even more phenomenal if one thinks of the spiritual distances traveled. The variants of Islam practiced in Southeast Asia have traditionally been seen as syncretic, making the effort, expense, and meaning of undertaking the Hajj hugely important in local life. Millions of Southeast Asians, from Southern Thailand into Malaysia and Singapore, from Indonesia up through Brunei and the Southern Philippines, have now made this voyage. More undertake it every year. The movement of Islam in global spaces has become a topic of interest to states, scholars, and the educated reading public for many reasons. The Hajj is still the single largest transmission variant of Muslim ideologies and fraternity in the modern world. This book attempts to write an overarching history of the Hajj from Southeast Asia, encompassing very early times all the way up until the present.
