Abstract

Imperial Eyes is a highly acclaimed and interdisciplinary book which quickly established itself as a seminal work in the study of travel literature and the field of postcolonial criticism. It investigates the way in which travel writing has constructed an image of the world beyond Europe for European readerships. Focusing on writing about South America and Africa in relation to the political and economic expansion of Europe, Mary Louise Pratt uses readings of particular genres of travel writing to show how they connect with the forms of knowledge and expression which surround them.This long-awaited second edition:• is updated throughout, including a new preface and a fully revised introduction;• contains a new chapter, which reads well-known Latin American texts through the concept of neocoloniality, then takes up the expressive coordinates of late twentieth-century experiences of migration and displacement;• upgrades original illustrations and incorporates new visual materials.This new edition of Imperial Eyes continues to advance the study of imperialism, colonialism and travel writing in fresh directions, whilst retaining the clarity necessary to engage readers new to the topic.
