The history of travel has long been constructed and described
almost exclusively as a history of "European", male mobility,
without, however, explicitly making the gender and whiteness of the
travellers a topic. The anthology takes this as an occasion to
focus on journeys to Europe that gave "non-Europeans" the
opportunity to glance at "Europe" and to draw a picture of it by
themselves. So far, little attention has been paid to the questions
with which attributes these travellers endowed "Europe" and its
people, which similarities and differences they observed and which
idea(s) of "Europe" they produced. The focus is once again on
"Europe", but not as the starting point for conquests or journeys.
From a postcolonial and gender historical view, the anthology's
contributions rather juxtapose (self-)representations of "Europe"
with perspectives that move in a field of tension between
agreement, contradiction and oscillation.
