    Book description

    Over the past two decades interest in travel has developed significantly. Critical engagement with imperialism, postcolonialism, diasporas, ethnography and cultural anthropology has led to increasingly sophisticated readings of the travel writing genre and a growing acknowledgement of its complex history. Postcolonial Eyes is the first study of its kind to identify a specifically Sub-Saharan African lineage within the broader tradition of travel writing. As well as exploring the reasons for Africans’ exclusion from the genre, the book examines the important relationship between ethnicity and travel and identifies the concerns and preoccupations that define African writers’ approaches to travel.

    Reviews

    ... this is an elegantly written, carefully constructed and cogently argued study of francophone African travel narratives that succeeds in its mission of drawing critical attention to a corpus that deserves further scrutiny.'

    Jane Hiddleston Source: Studies in Travel Writing, Vol. 14, No. 3

    Loingsigh's analyses are well developed, clear and concise... the book offers a unique and much needed African perspective on journeying and experiencing -- albeit temporarily -- the world of another.'

    Source: Journal of Intercultural Studies

    Written in clear and accessible language, this thorough, concise, and theoretically sophisticated study will be of interest to researchers and students in francophone post-colonial studies, travel, and gender studies.'
