Abstract

Abstract

For André Gide, travel writing becomes a textual and cultural-political engagement in encounters with the truly New Humans of a foreign land. As part of a comprehensive study of revolutionary travel literature in twentieth-century Chinese culture, this essay explores such encounters with the Soviet Humans in a series of travel writings by revolutionary Chinese writers and intellectuals, thereby advancing an argument that attempts to situate these encounters in a global genealogy of USSR travelogues in the first half of the twentieth century.
