Travel as a Political Act

Book • 2018
In 'Travel as a Political Act,' Rick Steves argues that travel can be a powerful tool for understanding the world and its diverse cultures.

Through his personal experiences and field reports from Europe, Central America, Asia, and the Middle East, Steves shows how thoughtful travel can help individuals gain empathy for other cultures and develop a broader perspective on global issues.

The book addresses the current climate of divisiveness and fear, suggesting that travel can be an antidote to xenophobia and a way to learn more about one's own country by viewing it from afar.
