Such travelogues, writes literary scholar Mona Narain, perform an ideological role in “establishing hegemony over another culture” through a “transcendent colonial gaze.” But what happens on those rare occasions when colonized people write them? Dean Mahomet’s 1794 Travels, usually cited as the first work by an Indian author writing in English, is a case in point.
