330 .. $a "How has travel writing produced 'the rest of the world' for European readerships?
How does one speak of transculturation from the colonies to the metropolis? Studies
in colonial and exploration discourse have identified the enormous significance of
travel writing as an ideological apparatus of Empire. The study of travel writing
has, however, remained either naively celebratory or dismissive, treating texts as
symptoms of imperial ideologies. Imperial Eyes explores European travel and exploration
writing, in connection with European economic and political expansion since 1700.
It is both a study in genre, and a critique of ideology. Pratt examines how travel
books by Europeans create the domestic subject of European imperialism, and how they
engage metropolitan reading publics with expansionist enterprises whose material benefits
accrued mainly to the very few. These questions are addressed through readings of
particular travel accounts connected with particular historical transitions, from
the eighteenth century to Paul Theroux: sentimental travel writing and its links with
abolitionist rhetoric, discursive reinventions of South America during the period
of its independence (1800-1840), and eighteenth-century European writings on Southern
Africa in the context of inland expansion."--Publisher's description
