Examines the global travel narratives of a diverse set of African American writers, including Ida B. Wells, Booker T. Washington, Matthew Henson, Jessie Redmon Fauset, and Zora Neale Hurston. While these writers deal with issues of identity in relation to a reimagined sense of self, they also push against the constraints and conventions of the genre, reconsidering discourses of tourism, ethnography, and exploration.
