"There’s something zoological about that which hasn’t left. It’s having an anthropological gaze on Others and the entitlement of going to the Other and explaining them to a more “civilized” audience in search of further knowledge about the human race or knowing more about nature. It’s like studying beasts. It might not be that blatant to people these days, but it really does go deep and carries on to the writing of today from blogging, to Condé Nast Traveler, to the way the outdoor industry communicates its message to people and who it does it to. It’s deeply colonial to me." Thanks to James Wilt for interviewing me for the Tourism Re-Imaged issue of @geezmagazine!

"Travel writing [is] a particularly colonized genre desperately in need of a full-frontal attack. Not only do we have to fight against the master travel narrative—an extension of the colonial project—and redefine the definition of travel, but we spend a lot of time educating POC about what travel literature is." - @meetingfaith on teaching travel writing to people of color. I spoke with Faith about the process of writing her first book, Meeting Faith, about resisting tired travel tropes that trivialize our stories (points for alliteration!), and about why she ordained into the montastic life of the maechi in northern Thailand.
