Black and White Women's Travel Narratives: Antebellum Explorations. By Cheryl J. Fish. (Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2004. xiv, 183 pp. $59.95, ISBN 0-8130-2711-X.)

In Black and White Women's Travel Narratives, Cheryl J. Fish offers a fascinating examination of travel writings by women of the Americas who "physically and intellectually crisscrossed the 'black and white' Atlantic" (p. 10) in the 1840s and 1850s. Admirably weaving diverse women's travel narratives into a cohesive account of what she terms "mobile subjectivity" (p. 6), Fish delineates new textual clusters at the intersections of global cultural studies and transnational feminisms. The terrain and geographical reach of Fish's book is impressive. Ranging across tsarist Russia, postemancipation Jamaica, the Panamanian frontier, the Crimean War front, and the American frontier, Fish deftly interpolates women's laboring bodies and domesticity in the discourses of imperialism, nationalism, and colonialism.
