| Synopsis: | "Imperial Eyes" looks at European travel and exploration writing, in connection with European economic and political expansion since 1700. It is both a study in genre and a critique of ideology. Pratt examines how travel books by Europeans create the domestic subject of European imperialism. She introduces the term and concept of the 'contact zone' which has been taken up in studies of postcolonialism. | |
