Explanation:

Option (a): Para 2 statest "This has the effect of remapping the world in the reader’s mind, as centred in the interconnected global south. . . .". The passage talks only about south-south connection and does not mention about north-south connection. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

Option (b): Para 3 states: "For much of history, travel by sea was much easier than by land, which meant that port cities very far apart were often more easily connected to each other than to much closer inland cities. ". Therefore, option (b) is mentioned in the passage and is not the correct answer.

Option (c): Para 5 states: "Migration is often a matter of force; travel is portrayed as abandonment rather than adventure...". Therefore, option (c) is mentioned in the passage and is not the correct answer.

Option (d): Para 4 states: "The novels in [my] book highlight instead a largely Islamic space, feature characters of colour and centralise the ports of Malindi, Mombasa, Aden, Java and Bombay. . . ". Therefore, option (d) is mentioned in the passage and is not the correct answer.

Hence, option (a).
