Description: Sandra Gunning draws on nineteenth-century African diasporic travel writing to explore the conditions and possibilities of race, gender, sex, and class that early black Atlantic travel enabled.
Review Quotes: "An important corrective to dominant views of 19th-century Black identities and writings, as well as of travel writing, Gunning's book will interest all scholars of literature and Black studies. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty."
