- W2232886085 abstract "This thesis brings together two important developments in contemporarygeography; firstly, the recognition of the need to write critical histories ofgeographical thought and, particularly, the relationship between modern geographyand European imperialism, and secondly, the attempt by feminist geographers tocountervail the absence of women in these histories. Drawing on recent innovativeattempts by geographers to construct alternative, contextual perspectives in(re)writing histories of geographical thought, the thesis analyzes the travelnarratives of British women travellers in West Africa between 1840 and 1915.Recent attempts by feminists to include women in histories of geography andimperialism have, all too often, failed to analyze critically the role of women inimperial culture, or have reproduced gender dichotomies in their analysis. Thisthesis seeks to overcome these problems in three ways. Firstly, it explores thecontributions of women travellers to imperial culture, primarily through theirproduction of popular geographies. Secondly, it analyzes the ways in which thesewomen were empowered in the imperial context by virtue of both race and class.Thirdly, it frames the accounts of each woman within the specific spatial andtemporal context of their journeys in order to explore the complexities in thepopular geographies they produced. The thesis illustrates that while gender was animportant factor in the construction of images in the travel narratives of Victorianwomen travellers, this cannot be divorced from the wider context of their journey,nor from other elements in power relations based on difference such as race andclass. Using this framework, the study explores in detail the production of populargeographies of the landscapes and peoples of West Africa by British womentravellers, and formulates an argument on how women and their experiences canbe included in histories of geographical thought." @default.
