This title was first published 2000: This text is intended to draw
together two important developments in contemporary geography:
firstly, the recognition of the need to write critical histories of
geographical thought and, particularly, the relationship between
modern geography and European imperialism; and secondly, the
attempt by feminist geographers to countervail the absence of women
in the histories. The author focuses on the narratives of British
women travellers in West Africa between 1840 and 1915, exploring
their contributions to British imperial culture, teh ways in which
they wer empowered in the imperial context by virtue of both "race"
and class, and their various representations of West African
landscapes and peoples. The book argues for the inclusion of women
and their experiences in histories of geographical thought and
explores the possibilities and problems of combining feminist and
post-colonial approaches to these histories. This is an exploration
of the contribution to geographical thought of 19th-century British
women travellers in West Africa. Themes include imperial
representation, empowerment and feminist and post-colonial
approaches to histories of geographical thought. The book argues
for the inclusion of women and their experiences in histories of
geographical thought and explores the possibilities and problems of
combining feminist and post-colonial approaches to histories of
geographical thought.
