As promised, here's now the official link to our lovely collection, 'Minoritised Languages and Travel' in the Modern Languages Open journal.

Kathryn Walchester explores the silencing of the Welsh travelee. A century and a half later, Marija Bergam locates Derek Walcott as a writer of a minor literature in the sense of Deleuze and Guattari. Anna-Lou Dijkstra’s analysis of recent German and French guidebooks to Wales uncovers how they pre-emptively interpret the travel destination, resulting in often skewed perceptions of a minoritized culture. Eimear Kennedy’s analysis of Irish travelogues about India explores how travelogues composed in endangered languages can originate from a position of relative socio-cultural privilege. Finally, David Miranda-Barreiro undertakes a close reading of Julio Camba’s travel writings and also in past and contemporary critical academic work on the author.
