AfTeR – The African Text: Representing Africa in Imperial Russia (1850-1917)

The database is part of the project AfTeR – The African Text: Representing Africa in Imperial Russia (1850-1917), funded by the Stars@Unipd programme of the University of Padua. The project is set to investigate the ways in which the African continent and its inhabitants were perceived and represented in late imperial Russia (1850-1917), with regards to travel writing, fiction, and the first (pseudo-)scientific studies (historical, geographical, ethnographic).
