"The Cambridge Companion to Postcolonial Travel Writing offers readers an insight
into the scope and range of perspectives that one encounters in this field of writing.
Encompassing a diverse range of texts and styles, performances and forms, postcolonial
travel writing recounts journeys undertaken through places, cultures, and communities
that are simultaneously living within, through, and after colonialism in its various
guises. The Companion is organized into three parts. Part I, "Departures," addresses
key theoretical issues, topics, and themes. Part II, "Performances," examines a range
of conventional and emerging travel performances and styles in postcolonial travel
writing. Part III, "Peripheries," continues to shift the analysis of travel writing
from the traditional focus on Eurocentric contexts. This Companion provides a comprehensive
overview of developments in the field, appealing to students and teachers of travel
writing and postcolonial studies"
