The Rhetoric of Empire in Hugh Millington Stutfields El Maghreb

Zusatztext

This book deals with Orientalist discourse and colonial rhetorical tropes in Hugh Millington Stutfields El Maghreb: 1200 Miles Ride Through Morocco. It examines the ways in which Stutfield promotes and perpetuates an Orientalist repre-sentation of Morocco and Moroccans, and how his discourse is shot through with processes of Othering, ethnocentrism, and racism. This has been done through an analysis of passages where Stutfield provides elaborate descriptions of landscapes and people in Morocco. The aim behind this analysis is to identify and explain the role of Orientalist discourse in serving and justifying imperialism and colonialism.
