reviewed Imperial Eyes: Travel Writing and Transculturation on April 19, 2016 Imperial Eyes: Travel Writing and Transculturation
This is by far the densest book I have ever read, but it is so perfectly relevant to my academic interests that I'm going to be buying my own copy ASAP so I can re-read it again with a highlighter in hand and a notebook next to me. This is just an extremely excellent analysis and has helped me realize how interested I am in the intersection of travel writing (though for me it's specifically female travel writers) and imperialism/colonialism, which might, in fact, end up being what I study when I inevitably (hopefully..) go back to school. So, thank you Pratt for this fantastic work!
