This multifaceted study, which draws on a range of literary and nonliterary texts and visual sources, examines the complex ways that race, gender, mobility, empire, modernity, and personal identity have indelibly shaped how the region was and is seen. In doing so, the book argues that representations of the Amazon as a region in need of the civilizing influence of colonialism and modernization served to legitimize and justify imperial control. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEyes on Amazonia\u003c\/i\u003e operates in cultural geography, ecocriticism, and visual cultural analysis.
