Description - Contemporary Travel Writing of Latin America by Claire Lindsay
This book takes a new approach to travel writing about Latin America by examining "domestic" journey narratives that have been produced by travelers from the continent itself and largely in Spanish. Historically, travel writing about Latin America has been written primarily from the perspective of the foreign, often European, traveler. As such, and following the large influx of military, scientific, and leisure travelers in the region since its colonization, much of this foreign travel writing has depicted the continent in predominantly exoticist and/or imperialist terms. Lindsay explores how Latin American travelers have conceived and constructed narratives about travel at home and considers how such texts (many of them available in English translation or with subtitles) function to counter or corroborate long-standing myths about the continent.
