We invite submissions for a collection of original research on the
subject of Eastern travelers’ encounters with the West. We are
interested in travelers whose responses have been inflected by their
positions as residents of Eastern metropoles, empires, and/or nations; by
Eastern notions of gender, sexuality, race, or ethnicity; and by Eastern
religious or secular worldviews. Authors should feel free to study any
of a wide variety of genres, including expedition reports, letters,
travel web sites, film, news or entertainment programming,
auto/biographies of travelers, travel illustrations and related visual
genres, young adult and children’s literature, encyclopedias, textbooks,
