I think either way works for this kind of gender or colonial studies. This Sara Mills book is definitely wonderful. When I have time, I will read it.
The book description and the content outline remind me of another female author, Mary Louise Pratt, and her delineation of the "contact zone," which is "social spaces where disparate cultures meet, clash, and grapple with each other, often in highly asymmetrical relations of domination and subordination" (Imperial Eyes: Travel Writing and Transculturation (New York: Routledge, 1992),4)
