The Private Journal of a Journey from Boston to New York in the Year 1704 by Sarah Kemble Knight is a captivating firsthand account of colonial America, chronicling the author's daring journey between two major cities of the time. Written with wit, intelligence, and keen observation, the journal provides a vivid glimpse into the challenges of 18th-century travel, including treacherous terrain, primitive accommodations, and the social customs of the era. Knight's narrative goes beyond mere travelogue, offering insightful commentary on the people, culture, and society she encountered, all delivered in a lively and engaging style. This unique historical document paints a rich portrait of early American life, showcasing the resilience and spirit of a remarkable woman navigating a world shaped by its nascent colonial identity.

The Syrian Christians in Kerala, India, are an ancient community whose history has often been distorted by European colonialists and missionaries. Dr Sarah Knight has scoured libraries and private archives across Kerala, as well as many of the great libraries in Europe - in the UK, the Netherlands, and the Vatican - to put together a summary of the history of this often misunderstood ancient Christian community. This fresh and authentic perspective on the Syrian Christians' history, brings out the narrative which has survived within the community itself, despite the many periods of adversity and oppression when other interests attempted to rewrite their history. Dr Knight has combined her insider knowledge - she was born and raised within the community - with years of scholarship, which also underpinned her PhD from SOAS in the University of London. The book charts the history of the Syrian Christians in Kerala ('Malankara') from its origins with mission of St Thomas, through the migrations of Syrian clergy and families from the fourth century, through the adversity in the face of European colonialization and missionary work, to the current troubles caused by factions demanding they abandon their allegiance to the Patriarch of the Syriac Orthodox Church.
