"Discourses of Difference" sets out to unravel the complexities of
writings by British women travellers of the "high colonial" period.
Sara Mills's study draws on the work of Michel Foucault and of
theorists of colonialism such as Edward Said, Mary Louise Pratt and
Gayatri Spivak, to produce a theoretical framework for the analysis
of such texts. Using feminist discourse theory, Sara Mills analyzes
the writings of three women travellers - Alexandra David-Neel, Mary
Kingsley and Nina Mazuchelli. She charts both the shared and
individual characteristics of the various accounts of imperialism
given by these women, themselves situated within the colonial
system. Our understanding of agency and identity, and their
interaction with the social environment, will be enhanced by the
questions Mills asks and the discoveries she makes.
