Speaking:   Nandini Sengupta, Student, Syracuse University

Summary: The paper "The British Traveler in India: narratives of Interracial Intimacy" examines the travel journals of two British women who journeyed to India between1835 and 1842. While these texts encapsulate the tenor of Anglo-Indian life prior to the mutiny in 1857, Nandini reads these travel journals for scripting a particular response towards racial mixing, especially the way in which these texts register multiple levels of interracial interaction, imagine and realize friendships across class and national borders.
