A First Rate English Travel History,
Upon reading Gerald MacLean’s account of the Anglo encounter with “Near Eastern” cultures i was thoroughly impressed with the depth and reach of the author’s archival research and his lucid/friendly writing style. As a college instructor, i have been able to use this text alongside works such as Said’s Orientalism in order to illustrate the fact that the xenophobia and repressive campaigns of British empire were not inevitable–that the ideology and practice of British white supremacy did not reflect the belief systems and epistemic modes of all the empire’s white subjects. Please do yourself a favor and read this first rate work!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT IT IS NOT IN PAPERBACK YET!!!!!!
