Product Description
The nineteenth century marks the apex of the travel genre. This book focuses on the representation of Cuba by four French travelers to the island from 1810 to 1866. The travelogues of these voyagers allow their first-hand experience to be considered under the mutual gaze involved in cross-cultural encounters. Four French Travelers in Nineteenth-Century Cuba argues that politics and science, as well as romanticism and commerce, coalesce in the travelers’ representations of Cuban culture and institutions. The travel accounts constitute exercises in how knowledge spreads and gathers as travelers attempt to entice other visitors to emulate them and forge identities for the Cuban "Others" they have encountered.
Back Cover Copy
"Four French Travelers in Nineteenth-Century Cuba is a rich exploration of the ties between travel writing and national identity in the island nation. In his careful analyses of diaries and logs by Etienne Michel Massé, Ernest Duvergier de Hauranne, Jean-Jacques Ampère, and Adolphe Granier de Cassagnac, Yvon Joseph raises fundamental questions about cultural collisions and their repercussions. Moreover, he introduces us to issues and personalities that we may not have encountered in our attempts to decipher the complexities of Cuban and Caribbean culture beyond Hispanism. This well-researched book will certainly be of interest to scholars in both colonial and transatlantic studies." Raquel Chang-Rodríguez, Distinguished Professor, Graduate Center and City College, City University of New York (CUNY)
