Expeditionary journeys have shaped our world, but the expedition as
a cultural form is rarely scrutinized. This book is the first major
investigation of the conventions and social practices embedded in
team-based exploration. In probing the politics of expedition
making, this volume is itself a pioneering journey through the
cultures of empire. With contributions from established and
emerging scholars, Expedition into Empire plots the rise and
transformation of expeditionary journeys from the eighteenth
century until the present. Conceived as a series of spotlights on
imperial travel and colonial expansion, it roves widely: from the
metropolitan centers to the ends of the earth. This collection is
both rigorous and accessible, containing lively case studies from
writers long immersed in exploration, travel literature, and the
dynamics of cross-cultural encounter.
