Travel is individual journeys of record, distinct from collective migration

Evidence

By travel, I mean what one might call personal journeys, undertaken by an individual, either by his own decision or by the decision of some other individual who chose and sent him for a particular reason. I am including neither the migrations of nomads nor the invasions of armies. — Bernard Lewis, From Babel to Dragomans, 723

Categorization

  • DEFINE: Lewis narrows ‘travel’ to individual, documented journeys, excluding nomad migrations and military invasions — a definitional foundation for his whole account.
  • XREF: connects to: Migrations become self-sustaining processes that outlive their original causes — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 3836; Travel accounts of Sudan shifted from family to colonized subjects; Migration flows are self-reinforcing and generate their own continuation.
