Description

Explore the complex history of tropicality through this academic study in historical geography. This book examines the long-standing Western discourse that categorizes the exotic and the other in binary terms of 'us' and 'them.' It investigates how these perceptions have historically influenced imperial views and anxieties regarding difference. Focusing on the twentieth-century genealogy of this concept, the text looks at the work of Pierre Gourou. As a major figure in the spread of what Aime Cesaire called tropicalite, Gourou's work provides a lens to understand how interpretations of the tropical world were formed. The study analyzes how the perceived nature of tropical regions was constructed as inherently different from the temperate world. This work offers a necessary look at a neglected area of geographical history and its role in shaping global perspectives.
