Travel Writing and Transculturation
Front Cover
12 Reviews
Taylor & Francis, May 20, 2003 - Literary Criticism - 272 pages
Pratt intriguingly explores European travel and exploration writing. In a study of genre and as a critique of ideology, Imperial Eyes examines how travel books by Europeans create the domestic subject of European imperialism.
