Imperial Eyes by Mary Louise Pratt

Presents an investigation of the way in which travel writing has constructed an image of the world beyond Europe for European readerships. This book focuses on writing about South America and Africa in relation to the political and economic expansion of Europe. It also presents various Latin American texts through the concept of neocoloniality.

Mary Louise Pratt is Silver Professor of Spanish and Portuguese languages and literatures at New York University, and formerly Olive H. Palmer Professor of Humanities at Stanford University. She has published widely in the areas of Latin American literature and society, comparative literature, gender studies, and the cultural study of colonialism and imperialism. She was president of the Modern Language Association in 2003
