In this book, Debbie Lisle examines the connections between the 'serious' world of international politics and the 'superficial' world of contemporary travel writing, arguing that best-selling travelogues, such as those by Paul Theroux, Bill Bryson, Bruce Chatwin and Michael Palin, engage with political issues including equality, multiculturalism and justice.
