Travel, Humanitarianism, and Becoming American in Africa uses
observations of American travelers to southern Africa to ask: why
is Africa so important to Americans? These travel stories show how
encounters with Africans lead to a problematic desire to save
Africa. Kathryn Mathers argues that this is then seen as a way to
resolve the tensions between aspirations for a globally responsible
America and the current reality of its geopolitical role. This book
draws fascinating new conclusions about the connections and
disconnections on which contemporary American identity is formed.
