BOOK: Travel Writing and the Empire The Empire has had its mechanism of perpetuating itself, of ensuring its stability and growth. And in the context of colonial set up, travel is one of them. Travel has been a mode of assesment of territory, of knowledge gathering, and of putting a discursive system in place.
This volume, edited and introduced by Sachidananda Mohanty, brings you the range of hidden discourses that constituted the classificatory grids of the project of colonialism.
The writers in this volume include Mohammad Zaheer Basha, Narendra Luther, Pallavi Pandit Laisram, Pramod K Nayar, Sindhu Menon, Susuan Bassnett, VB Tharakeshwar, Tutun Mukherjee and William Dalrymple.
