Mobility at Large explores a unique trajectory of travel writing.
Instead of focussing on best-selling travel texts by Paul Theroux,
Bill Bryson, Michael Palin, Alain de Botton and others, this book
examines a strand of innovative contemporary travel writing wherein
the authors experiment with form, content and the politics of
representation. In this, innovative travel texts by a range of
writers - from Michael Ondaatje and Caryl Phillips to Daphne
Marlatt and Sam Miller - transform the genre by inscribing travel,
migration, mobility and displacement within a variety of
experimental textual strategies to work through questions of
movement and the politics of personal identity in relation to the
complex interlocutions of space, place and subjectivity. As a
result, Mobility at Large challenges those critics who dismiss the
genre as inherently conservative and inextricably bound up in a
colonial, Eurocentric tradition. The book also documents a long and
rich tradition of travel writing that existed well beyond the
influence of Europe.
