Description
Discourses of Difference unravels the complexities of writings by British women travellers of the `high colonial' period. Sara Mills examines the relation of women travellers to colonialism, positioned as they were at the site of conflicting discourses: femininity, feminism, and patriarchal imperialism. Using feminist discourse theory, Sara Mills analyses the writings of three women travellers - Alexandra David-Neel, Mary Kingsley and Nina Mazuchelli. Her examination of agency, identity, and the contemporary social environment, is an important and inspiring step forward in post-colonial cultural and literary theory.

Media Reviews
`Evinces a keen awareness of the constraints governing the production and reception of women's travel writing. Mills's approach, [a combination of Marxism, feminism, and Foucaudianism], shines through...and is capable of generating highly suggestive cultural analyses.' - Times Higher Educational Supplement
