rich detail, engaging analysis and clear prose...this confident, interdisciplinary effort is to be commended. Aedin Ni Loingsigh, IJSF This ground-breaking volume is the first major English-language analysis of the relatively unexplored field of twentieth-century travel literatures and cultures in French. This volume is a major contribution to the fields of French-language travel and postcolonialism, and represents a considerable advancement in the terms of debate. Kathryn Jones, Modern Language Review The depth of scholarly research is evident throughout, while the deliberately eclectic range of material convincingly exemplifies the way in which French identity has been influenced by cultural encounters in a francophone space far exceeding the bounds of the Hexagon. Forum for Modern Language Studies, Volume 43, Number 4 Never claiming to offer an exhaustive survey, Forsdick provides an intrinsically more valuable, deeply engaging configuration of canonical and non-canonical sources and authors. Studies in Travel Writing, Volume 10, Number 2 demonstrates how a cultural archive can be decolonized, thus opening up a refreshing engagement with new theoretical spaces Patrick Corcoran, French Studies
