The Colonizer Abroad by Christopher Mcbride, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Looking at a diverse series of authors-Herman Melville, Richard Henry Dana, Jr., Mark Twain, Charles Warren Stoddard, and Jack London-The Colonizer Abroadclaims that as the U. S. emerged as a colonial power in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the literature of the sea became a literature of imperialism. This book applies postcolonial theory to the travel writing of some of America's best-known authors, revealing the ways in which America's travel fiction and nonfiction have both reflected and shaped society. | The Colonizer Abroad by Christopher Mcbride, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
