Writing, Travel and Empire
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-17276-0 (ISBN)
Writing from the margins of what was shortly to become the more formalised discipline of anthropology, their work yields interesting insights into both the issues of empire and the ways in which academic disciplines define the boundaries of their subject. Embracing themes such as gender and travel, racial science, the globalisation of 'native management' and the internal colonies, and with a geographical coverage that extends from South America to Russia via Africa and the South Seas, "Writing Travel and Empire" will engage all those with an interest in cultural geography, anthropology, history, postcolonial studies, biography and travel writing.
Peter Hulme is Professor of Literature at the University of Essex. He is co-editor of the Cambridge Companion to Travel Writing. Russell McDougall is Associate Professor of English at the University of New England, New South Wales. He is co-editor of The Roth Family: Anthropology & Colonial Administration.
