Product Description
The fourteen chapters in this book examine various topics and contexts of travel writings on China, Japan and South East Asia. From the first Colombian on a trade mission to China, to French women travelers in Asia, and the opening of "Japan Fairs" in the US during the latter half of the nineteenth century, this book offers a kaleidoscopic glimpse of the various cultures in the eyes of their beholders coupled with insightful understanding of the various politics and relationships that are involved. While this book will appeal to expert scholars and students of travel literature and Asian studies, as well as those working on cultural studies, general readers will also find it an interesting and accessible addition to their collection.
